Best cameras for filmmaking 2023

Daniel Meagher — Mon, 04 Dec 2023 20:31:24 GMT

Creativity is the most important tool for filmmaking, but the camera comes in a close second. And thanks to the wonder of innovation, today's cameras offer pro-level specs at consumer-grade prices. Of course, they're not exactly cheap, but you can still score a 4K full-frame workhorse for an accessible cost. Our top pick, the Panasonic Lumix S5IIX, is the perfect example of this new age of filmmaking.

Best action cameras for hiking 2023

Joe Hindy — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 18:10:47 GMT

Hiking is one of my favorite outdoor activities. It gets you closer to nature and away from people. You also might find yourself encountering some really cool stuff that you wouldn't see in the big city or monotonous suburb. For such occurrences, a good action camera can capture it, so you can show it to everyone back home. Action cameras usually include better image stabilization and more outdoorsy features, like IP certification, than regular cameras, so they can survive the rigors of a tough march.

Best action cameras in 2023

Luke Baker — Wed, 29 Nov 2023 16:00:20 GMT

Action cameras are an awesome invention, rugged enough to tackle the elements but small enough to slide into your pocket, with the ability to capture some extremely high-quality video. Whether you're snowboarding, surfing, skydiving, or just taking a little hike on a drizzly winter day, an action camera is a great choice to capture those moments.

Want a projector? Black Friday is the day to get one with these hard-to-beat deals

Dave LeClair — Fri, 24 Nov 2023 22:31:01 GMT

Bigger isn't always better, but bigger certainly can be more enjoyable when it comes to watching movies and other content. That's where a great projector comes into play, as you can watch your favorite stuff at sizes up to 500 inches. If you could even get a TV that massive, it would cost more than your house, but these projectors won't break the bank nearly that much. In fact, with these deals from Best Buy, you can get a really good projector for as little as $100.

Fujifilm X-T5 vs Fujifilm X-H2: Which is right for you?

Luke Baker — Thu, 23 Nov 2023 12:00:02 GMT

These two Fujifilm APS-C bodies share the same sensor at their core, so you'd think that they'd be pretty similar cameras.

This unbelievable GoPro bundle deal saves you $100 on essential gear

Luke Baker — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 15:52:09 GMT

If you're anything like us, you've likely spent a lot more time on video calls, online meetings and streaming in the past few years than ever before.

Insta360 Ace Pro review: A new challenger approaches

Luke Baker — Tue, 21 Nov 2023 13:30:20 GMT

Insta360 started out making 360 cameras, as its name might suggest, before branching out into modular cameras like the Insta360 One RS, micro cameras like the Go 3, and even a smartphone gimbal, the Insta360 Flow.

Insta360 Ace Pro vs GoPro Hero 12 Black: Which is the best action cam?

Luke Baker — Tue, 21 Nov 2023 13:30:20 GMT

Insta360 made a name for itself by creating some of the most unique and innovative cameras available today. However, while most of its cameras are action-oriented, it has never released a typical action camera, instead focusing on 360 cameras, micro cameras and modular designs.

Best camera lenses for taking action shots 2023

Daniel Meagher — Sun, 19 Nov 2023 14:30:20 GMT

Opal Tadpole hands-on: An adorable webcam designed specifically for your laptop

Jason Cipriani — Tue, 14 Nov 2023 14:00:22 GMT

Opal's latest webcam isn't meant to be used with an external monitor or even a desktop computer setup. Instead, the $175 Tadpole webcam, the company's second hardware product, is specifically designed to clip onto the lid of your laptop, replacing its mediocre at best built-in webcam.

Best micro four thirds cameras 2023

Daniel Meagher — Mon, 13 Nov 2023 22:30:20 GMT

Full-frame mirrorless cameras have dominated the market in recent years, but that doesn't mean that they're without their drawbacks. To accommodate those giant sensors, for example, full-frame cameras are still fairly bulky, and their lenses are downright massive. Micro four thirds cameras, on the other hand, are as compact as can be. Micro four thirds (MFT) camera sensors are about a quarter the size of their full-frame cousins. As a result, they're lightweight, compact, and compatible with equally small lenses.

Do you need a GoPro camera if you have a smartphone? We asked GoPro

Jason Cipriani — Fri, 10 Nov 2023 14:00:22 GMT

Best teleprompters for phones and tablets 2023

Daniel Meagher — Thu, 09 Nov 2023 18:15:43 GMT

Until recently, teleprompters were extremely expensive instruments that you'd only find among professional productions, like live news broadcasts and presidential addresses. But thanks to today's nifty smartphone screens, you can get a quality teleprompter for relatively cheap. All you have to do is attach it to your tripod, secure your phone to the tray, and start scrolling your script.

Best photography gear 2023

Daniel Meagher — Wed, 08 Nov 2023 16:32:31 GMT

Whether you're a professional photographer or a total beginner, there's some gear that you simply can't do without. A camera is the obvious barrier to entry, but the list of essentials grows with less obvious things, like a tripod, an SD card, and a quality lens. The pros know just how expensive gearing up gets, so start with the necessities.

Sony A9 III debuts with global shutter system: But what is it and how will it change photography?

Luke Baker — Wed, 08 Nov 2023 13:28:05 GMT

Sony has just unveiled its latest high-end mirrorless camera, the Alpha 9 III, and there's plenty to get excited about. The camera packs a 24.6-megapixel sensor and is capable of shooting up to 120 full-quality RAW photos per second with no blackout and full autofocus, and has a blistering-fast maximum shutter speed of 1/80,000.

7 free Photoshop alternatives for quick and easy photo fixes

Hillary K. Grigonis — Tue, 07 Nov 2023 21:31:24 GMT

Adobe Photoshop is as synonymous with photo editing as a Band-Aid is to a bandage, Kleenex to a tissue, and Ziplock to a storage bag. But while the Adobe software may be responsible for many of the tools and terms of photo editing today, Adobe Photoshop is a professional-level software that comes at a cost. The software is part of the Adobe Creative Cloud, which uses a monthly subscription-based pricing system. While the $10 monthly bundle for Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom is a worthwhile investment for professionals and some hobbyists, if you want to resize a photo, convert to a different file type, or remove acne from a selfie, there are a few free Photoshop alternatives that will tackle the tasks for nothing but the annoyance of viewing ads.

Best instant cameras 2023

Daniel Meagher — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 17:00:22 GMT

Even with the boom in digital photography, instant cameras have endured the test of time. Their physical prints record a moment in time that's ready for viewing right away, giving them a unique posterity that compact, action, and mirrorless cameras just don't offer. In fact, the popularity of instant cameras has seen a major resurgence in recent years thanks to new innovations and designs.

DJI Osmo Action 4 vs DJI Osmo Action 3: What's the difference?

Luke Baker — Sun, 29 Oct 2023 13:00:26 GMT

DJI's current flagship action camera looks identical to its predecessor, and the specs don't seem to have changed much, either. So, what exactly has changed?

The Fujifilm Instax Pal is cute, but I’m not sure why you’d buy it

Max Freeman-Mills — Sat, 28 Oct 2023 17:48:12 GMT

For a long time, Fujifilm has had two basic offerings where its Instax lineup was concerned - instant cameras with printers in them, and printers you can use to print photos from your phone.

Portrait photos on iPhone 15: Transform a regular photo into a portrait shot

Hillary K. Grigonis — Thu, 26 Oct 2023 18:00:23 GMT

The iPhone's multi-lens array has been enhancing snapshots since Portrait mode first launched on the iPhone 7 Plus. But the iPhone 15 no longer needs a swipe over into Portrait to blur the background. In fact, the requirement list for the iPhone 15's Portrait photos is the same as the lens on the back of the iPhone 15 Pro -- there are just three. The iPhone 15 has ditched a majority of the portrait mode limitations, allowing you to snap portrait photos without the 2x lens, without a recognizable person or pet, and even without swiping into the portrait mode itself.

DJI Osmo Pocket 3 vs DJI Pocket 2: What's new?

Luke Baker — Wed, 25 Oct 2023 13:06:25 GMT

After a lengthy hiatus, DJI is finally back with another Pocket camera, the Osmo Pocket 3. It's quite the upgrade, too, packing in a 1-inch sensor and boosting the slow-motion capabilities of the mini gimbal camera.

I'd take the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 over a vlogging camera any day

Luke Baker — Wed, 25 Oct 2023 13:00:25 GMT

I'm a big fan of the DJI Pocket series cameras, I purchased the original at launch, and it still gets plenty of use to this day. The DJI Pocket 2 then followed in 2021, with meaningful upgrades like a larger sensor and wider FOV. However, there were a few things that made both of these cameras a bit of a pain to use, with the main one being the minuscule built-in display.

The 11 best GoPro tips and tricks for action-packed videos

Hillary K. Grigonis — Tue, 24 Oct 2023 21:30:25 GMT

Nikon Zf review 2023: More than just a looker

Luke Baker — Fri, 20 Oct 2023 19:00:24 GMT

When I first got word of the Nikon Zf I assumed, as I'm sure many did, that it would essentially be a Z6II repackaged in a vintage-style housing. In reality, the Zf has a lot more to offer than just some retro charm - though it does have plenty of that, too.

Best Mirrorless Cameras in 2023

Luke Baker — Thu, 19 Oct 2023 16:01:38 GMT

Sony A7C II review: Don't call it a compact

Cam Bunton — Wed, 18 Oct 2023 15:58:40 GMT

Sony's been here for years; in fact, it recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of its first Alpha series full-frame mirrorless camera. A lot has changed since then, but it would be very easy to argue that - of all the camera makers - Sony has been driving innovation harder than most.

Best cameras for beginners 2023: Photographer tested and reviewed

Daniel Meagher — Tue, 17 Oct 2023 21:25:22 GMT

For beginners to photography, browsing the market can be overwhelming, especially with so many complex specs and jargon-filled reviews to read. But for those who aren't pros, you can still score an excellent camera with a beginner-friendly design without a PhD in optical physics. That's because many of today's cameras, while indeed advanced, often have easy-to-use automatic settings to help you capture brilliant images and stunning videos.

Panasonic Lumix G9ii review: The best Micro Four Thirds camera ever made

Luke Baker — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 09:35:20 GMT

People have been speculating that the Micro Four Thirds system is on its way out for years and with Panasonic's recent focus on full-frame bodies, that was starting to feel more like a reality. Then, out of nowhere, the G9ii arrived on the scene, and the system is more alive than ever.

Nikon Z8 review: Brilliant at everything

Luke Baker — Sun, 15 Oct 2023 19:13:29 GMT

Nikon pitches the Z8 as the mirrorless successor to arguably the best DSLR ever made, the Nikon D850. In reality, it shares more DNA with the brand's flagship mirrorless body, the Z9, only it's shrunken down to be more compact, and it comes at a more affordable price point.

GoPro Hero 10 Black vs Hero 9 Black: What's the difference?

Luke Baker — Sat, 14 Oct 2023 13:00:34 GMT

GoPro has since released the Hero 11 and the shiny new Hero 12 Black, but its older flagships the Hero 9 and 10 are still widely available and offer better value than ever. Here's how they compare.

At 41% off, this Lumix S5 Prime Day deal is almost too good to be true

Luke Baker — Wed, 11 Oct 2023 17:50:42 GMT

The Lumix S5, at launch, was already one of the best-value full-frame mirrorless cameras on the market, but now that its successor has arrived, there are real bargains to be found. The most impressive one that we've seen so far is a bundle deal that's on offer as part of Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event.

Kick it old-school with a new all-time low on the compact Polaroid Go camera

Charlotte Maracina — Tue, 10 Oct 2023 12:50:32 GMT

Good things come in small packages this Prime Day. Polaroid’s Polaroid Go is smaller and better than ever. Polaroid Go is Polaroid’s smallest instant camera, meaning users can bring it just about anywhere without using up all the space in their bag. The new camera has a double exposure feature and a self-timer, both necessary aspects to help perfect your selfies. Since the camera is smaller than the standard Polaroid camera, the Polaroid Go only accepts Polaroid Go film which is half the size of standard Polaroid film.

GoPro Hero 12 Black review

Luke Baker — Tue, 10 Oct 2023 09:00:34 GMT

As a heavy user of action cameras, I always eagerly anticipate GoPro's next big launch. And with rumours saying the 2023 model might boast features like a 1-inch sensor or 4K at 240fps, I was especially excited to see what would be in store this year.

GoPro Hero 11 Black vs Hero 10 Black: What's new?

Luke Baker — Wed, 04 Oct 2023 14:00:33 GMT

The GoPro Hero 11 Black may no longer be the newest action camera on the block, the Hero 12 Black takes that spot, but it's still very much relevant, as is the Hero 10 Black. Both use the same chassis as the newer camera, so at first glance, it may appear that very little has changed.

Best vlogging cameras 2023: Expert tested and reviewed

Ian Carlos Campbell — Mon, 02 Oct 2023 20:00:35 GMT

YouTube has grown into a cultural juggernaut - a source of general knowledge, news, entertainment, and music - but at its heart it's still one of the most reliable ways to get things you make in front of people who might actually care about them. And it's one of the few social platforms with a reliable way for you to be paid for that creative work. Vlogging was born on YouTube, and you can get pretty far just filming yourself, your life, and your interests with the high-end cameras of most modern smartphones and some vlogging accessories. But if you want to get serious about video work, you've got to invest in a dedicated camera.

GoPro Hero 11 Black Mini review: Small but mighty

Sam Kieldsen — Sun, 24 Sep 2023 11:00:28 GMT

Despite solid attempts from the likes of Insta360 and DJI, GoPro remains the most popular action cam brand around. That's largely due to its long-running Hero range, which is now onto its 12th generation model. The GoPro Hero 11 Black Mini is a slimmed-down spin-off of the previous generation's flagship, the Hero 11 Black, and is designed to offer the same level of performance in a much more compact package. A cheaper one, too, at about $100 less than the full-fat edition.

Canon EOS R100 review: An ideal first mirrorless camera

Sam Kieldsen — Fri, 22 Sep 2023 09:00:28 GMT

Smartphones are undoubtedly the world's most-used cameras, but some would argue that they're not real cameras at all. By reducing the act of photo and video capture to mere point and shoot, they take much of the thought and process out of it. Plus, let's face it, they're pretty useless in the dark, or at successfully capturing anything moving faster than a pushbike.

Panasonic Lumix G9ii vs Lumix GH6: Which is the best Micro Four Thirds camera?

Luke Baker — Tue, 19 Sep 2023 12:30:28 GMT

Best GoPro 2023: Top models compared

Luke Baker — Fri, 15 Sep 2023 09:30:29 GMT

Smartphone cameras are great, but there are a few situations where they're not ideal. The mostly-glass construction won't take too many hard knocks and while some models offer water resistance, you probably still shouldn't be dropping it in saltwater.

Panasonic Lumix G9ii hands on: Micro Four Thirds is back and it's better than ever

Luke Baker — Tue, 12 Sep 2023 14:01:25 GMT

It's been a while since we've had a new Micro Four Thirds body from Lumix, and with the brand's recent focus on its full-frame cameras and lenses, many were beginning to wonder what the future holds for the small form factor ecosystem.

GoPro Hero 12 Black hands on: Subtle upgrades, but smart ones

Luke Baker — Fri, 08 Sep 2023 13:00:27 GMT

The GoPro Hero 12 Black is a more subtle update than we're used to seeing from the brand, but, in fairness, there are only so many times you can double the framerates before things start to get a little ridiculous. Instead, the 2023 flagship is all about refinement, and it aims to show what the 8:7 sensor is truly capable of.

GoPro Hero 12 Black vs Hero 11 Black: Which action camera is right for you?

Luke Baker — Fri, 08 Sep 2023 13:00:27 GMT

Sony A7C R vs Sony A7C II: What's the difference?

Cam Bunton — Wed, 06 Sep 2023 14:00:29 GMT

Having launched its first 'C' series compact Alpha 7 full-frame camera in 2020, Sony opted to follow it up in 2023 with two distinct models with more power, but two quite different selling points. There's the standard A7C ii and the A7C R. One is the direct follow up to the first model, and one is the really high-resolution model for photographers.

GoPro Hero 12 Black finally adds a feature I've been begging for

Luke Baker — Wed, 06 Sep 2023 13:00:29 GMT

GoPro's latest flagship action camera has landed right on schedule, but it's not the camera that some were expecting. Early leaks suggested we'd be seeing a significantly larger display, and potentially a 1-inch sensor, neither of which are present on the Hero 12 Black.

Leaked DJI Pocket 3 fixes one of its predecessors biggest shortcomings

Luke Baker — Mon, 04 Sep 2023 13:57:15 GMT

I'm a big fan of the DJI Pocket cameras, they provide smooth, physically stabilised 4K footage in a package that can easily slip into your pocket. The last iteration was the DJI Pocket 2, which came in late 2020, and it's been so long that I was beginning to think it might be the last DJI Pocket camera.

Sony A7C R review: A game changer in every way

Cam Bunton — Tue, 29 Aug 2023 14:00:27 GMT

For a few years now, Sony has been pushing the boundaries of what kind of performance you can expect from a small-bodied camera. The full-fat Alpha 7 series in itself was groundbreaking for its portability, and is still home to some of the most handily-sized full-frame cameras available.

Luke Baker — Sun, 27 Aug 2023 14:26:07 GMT

DJI Osmo Action 4 review

Luke Baker — Wed, 02 Aug 2023 13:00:27 GMT

DJI is back with a new action camera, and it looks identical to the one that came before it. It's not just looks either, the Osmo Action 4 shoots at the same resolutions and frame rates as the Osmo Action 3, and it initially had me wondering if anything had changed at all.

Fujifilm Instax SQ40 review: A wider look at life

Max Freeman-Mills — Thu, 27 Jul 2023 11:00:24 GMT
