Our Firmware Friday roundup this week is a mixture of both still and video camera updates, with the camcorders receiving a mixture of new features and bug fixes, while the still cameras are only receiving bug fixes this time around. On the camcorder front, we have news of three closely-related models apiece...

 

 

We don't often post special news articles on specific camera deals, but this one just rolled in and we wanted IR readers to hear about it it quickly. We've loved the Olympus E-M10 line of cameras from the beginning, and now the latest version is selling for a body-only price of just $449!

A little over a decade ago, William Innes chose a new profession. One day he was the president of a company in the aerospace industry, the next day he was a wedding photographer. It’s a decision he’s never had cause to regret. Nowadays he’s one...

 

 

Four years ago I threw a G-Technology EV ATC into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Francisco, and the drive lived to tell the tale. There aren't that many drives that are water resistant and crush resistant, so this was, back then, a big deal. G-Technology's latest portable HDD, the ArmorATD, isn't as rugged...

Panasonic's Micro Four Thirds interchangeable lens cameras have long focused on combining imaging performance and video capabilities within a compact form factor. The Panasonic G95 may embody this hybrid camera spirit more than any of the company's previous Lumix...

 

 

We review a lot of hard drives here at Imaging Resource, but mostly from Seagate, LaCie, G-Technology and Western Digital because a large number of their products are targeted at the photo/video space. But when you look at who owns those companies, it's actually just two: Western Digital and Seagate. So while these...

Tiny mirrorless cameras are everywhere these days, but that doesn't mean you have to ditch the mirror yourself if you want a compact, interchangeable-lens camera. For a third generation, the Canon SL3 aims to provide a reasonably generous advanced...

 

 

Getting an Atomos external recorder has legitimately changed, for the better, how I shoot video, and how good the footage I shoot looks. I went for years recording just to memory cards (going so far as to collect more than 8 CFast cards so that I could shoot on higher-end cameras) instead of acquiring an external...

 

 

The sixth Nikon Z-mount lens has been announced: The Nikkor Z 85mm f/1.8 S. This fast portrait lens is the longest native prime lens available for the Nikon Z system to date and joins the existing 35mm f/1.8 S and 50mm f/1.8 S to form a trio of f/1.8 prime lenses.

The Nikon 85mm f/1.8 S lens is approximately 3.9...

 

 

A great landscape image is not simply a photograph of a beautiful landscape. It is much more than that. To create a truly powerful landscape photo, your image must evoke emotion in the viewer. How does one use landscape photos to evoke emotion? In his latest video, seen below, landscape photographer Nigel Danson...

When Fujifilm launched their GFX medium-format mirrorless camera system in 2017, the GFX 50S immediately impressed me with its excellent image quality. However, the 50S, and subsequent GFX 50R model, both delivered subpar autofocus speeds and sluggish overall...

Colin Smith of PhotoshopCAFE has a neat trick to help you easily adjust specific colors in your photographs within Adobe Photoshop. The first step in making your colors pop is ironically to apply a black and white adjustment filter to your image. When using the black and white filter, you can adjust the underlying...

 

 

A common situation when doing heavy Photoshop work is having to cut an object out of a photo, either to move it within the same frame or to perhaps create a new composite image. What if you need to cut a person out of a photo? This is certainly a bit trickier than a simple shape, but it doesn't have to be...

 

 

Landscape photographer Simon Baxter is on a photography trip in Wales. In the video below, we join him in a woodland where he had hopes that promising conditions would result in fog. A look at Baxter's Instagram feed reveals that he frequently, although certainly not always, shoots in misty and foggy conditions.

 

 

In the newest video from our friends at Advancing Your Photography, Marc Silber chatted with award-winning photographer Joe McNally. Over the course of his prolific career, McNally has captured cover stories and features for publications such as National Geographic, LIFE and Sports Illustrated and worked with many...
