900 Megapixel Portraits Turn the Human Face Into a Crazy Landscape

We’ve seen stitched together “gigapixel” photos made of a billion pixels before, but they tend to be reserved for huge landscapes. Photographer Daniel Boschung has taken absurdly high resolution methodology and applied it to a much smaller area: The human face. https://gizmodo.com/can-you-spot-the-hidden-easter-eggs-in-this-20-gigapixe-1509297350 Boschung’s “Face Cartographies” are captured by a robot that’s been programmed specifically for…

Fujifilm Wishes Canon, Nikon Would Get On Board With Mirrorless Already

In a recent interview with DP Review, Fujifilm manager Toshihisa Iida stated that it would be beneficial for their company for bigger brands like Canon and Nikon to offer high-end mirrorless cameras. This might seem counterintuitive coming from an underdog, but actually it makes perfect sense. Mirrorless cameras (or ILCs, whichever you prefer), have been…

Canon G1X Mark II: The Beefy Point and Shoot Gets a Modern Overhaul

The landscape of high-end point and shoots has changed significantly over the past couple of years. Canon’s two-year-old G1 X used to be unique and sought after, but Sony’s RX100 and RX100 Mark II redefined what a point and shoot was capable of. Now it’s Canon’s turn to play catch up. The revamped G1 X…

Why Expanded Universes Are Important

Ever since word got out that Disney had decided to determine the canon-status of everything in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, there’s been fierce debate. About whether it’s a good idea. About what should be kept or not. But to people unfamiliar with the EU, this announcement has brought the question: Who cares? Why is…

Canon PowerShot N100 Has Two Cameras So You Can Take Frontback Photos

Last year’s Canon PowerShot Nwas a weird little point-and-shoot camera with an odd design aimed at roping in the masses who have ditched tiny cameras for smartphones. It was neat, but not all the way there. With the new PowerShot N100, Canon has redesigned the camera so that it can do even more smartphone-like things.…

Was the Canon 5D the Digital Camera that Broke Film’s Back?

It seems like ages ago when most pros were still shooting film, but actually it wasn’t that far back in time. In 2005, Canon released the EOS 5D—a full-frame DSLR that many think turned the tide for skeptical photogs still doubting what digital could do. The B&H Insights blog has a brief history of why…

The Last Days of the DSLR

The DSLR is everywhere. You see it around the necks of tourists, against the faces of pro photographers.

No,…

Canon 70D Review: DSLR Video Nirvana Comes More Into Focus

Canon has spent years making incremental improvements to its DSLR line’s video features, yet it’s been ages since we’ve seen a major step forward in functionality. While the 60D added some nice touches, its successor, the EOS 70D, makes one very specific leap towards excellence. https://gizmodo.com/canon-60d-impressions-the-perfect-video-dslr-is-just-a-5622239 What Is It?

Canon’s Experimental Video Sensor Sees the World in Utter Darkness

Canon S120: A Tiny, Awesome Point-and-Shoot Camera (Again and Again)

For less than $500 you can’t find a tiny camera with the image quality and flexibility of Canon’s parade of S-series Powershot cameras. With the S120, the tradition marches on. Canon’s top point-and-shoot cameras aren’t the industry leaders they were in the heydey of cameras like the S90 and the S95. While S-series cameras have…
