A long, long time ago (not that far away), I began one of my first jobs at a multi-campus college that launched one of the first full-time distance learning classrooms in the US. It was my job to manage setting up the cameras, document camera, microphones, and other equipment the teachers needed to transmit their class to the other campuses. I never imagined that experience would now apply to the entire world of education, but here we are. However, the technology has progressed so dramatically from old CRTs and dial-up Internet, that my old
Another day, another camera. The past few months have been absolutely mind-blowing when it comes to the frequency and quality of camera releases. Now, we have the Panasonic S5 to check out. Arguably the "entry-level" of Panasonic's full-frame mirrorless lineup, the S5 is a step up from the true beginner's feature set—and budget, the reason being that it boasts a full-frame sensor capable of 10-bit 4K 60p video in a body that is
There is still one basic truth about photographing sports—access is everything. If you are not near the action, you will not get a photograph. Does this mean you need a sideline pass at the Super Bowl or a family member in the NBA? No. Those are good to have, and media credentials for a Super Bowl is a professional feather in your cap, but “access” can be found in many places and many ways. A good sports photo does not even have to be on-field action, so do not let a lack of access intimidate you, but understand that to join the upper echelons
Hot on the heels of the EOS R5 and EOS R6 debut, Canon has quickly fired back with firmware version 1.1.1 to keep things running smoothly for the advanced mirrorless digital cameras. Set to improve the performance of two of the most popular cameras of the year, this update mainly focuses on temperature detection and shooting time control for

On this week’s episode of the B&H Photography Podcast, we welcome Kevin Rickert, who is a camera and lighting Senior Sales Trainer for B&H. Rickert teaches and updates the Pro Photo staff on all the features and specs of new cameras and often gets these cameras in his hands well before anyone else. Could there be a better guest for this episode, in which we discuss the many recent camera and lens announcements from the major manufacturers?
Much of the chatter in new
Topping its full-frame mirrorless lineup, Canon has just announced the development of the forthcoming EOS R3 mirrorless camera. Canon describes this camera as holding a new position within the EOS R ecosystem, “squarely between the EOS R5 and EOS-1D X Mark III cameras.” More specifically, Canon seems to be emphasizing autofocus performance and speed with this new high-end model, along with the durable design professionals expect from a top-
Sidney Baker-Green was still in high school when he first embarked on his creative journey as a wedding photographer and content creator, which now spans still photography and filmmaking. Over the past seven years, he has shared a wide variety of image-making adventures, gear reviews, business advice, and tech tips with a growing audience on social media, leading us to invite him to collaborate as a B&H Creator of the Week.
By means of introduction, we recently asked Baker-Green to respond to a
Like vinyl records and your father’s wardrobe, instant cameras are back and as popular as ever. Alongside refurbished and reimagined analog cameras, many new hybrid models combine the benefits of digital capture with the immediacy of instant film. Polaroid and FUJIFILM continue to produce “true” instant film stock—the kind you expose and then wait to see develop. They share the market with a new thermal printing technology, ZINK, short for “Zero Ink,” a borderless printing process that has risen in popularity, particularly with hybrid cameras
If you have someone under 20 years old in your life, you probably know that photo prints are in fashion again. I’m not necessarily referring to darkroom prints on fiber paper, but prints made from disposable cameras that appear in an envelope after being sent “somewhere” and, more so, prints from instant cameras. FUJIFILM and the INSTAX series of cameras have been popular for years, but several other brands have entered the market and are making
Long awaited is one of the best descriptors for the just-announced Sony a7S III. I've been waiting. You've been waiting. We've all been waiting. In the years since its predecessor was released, we've seen an unprecedented number of new video-capable cameras from every major camera manufacturer. That means there are a lot of very competitive options in the mirrorless and DSLR world when it comes to high-end video. We are going to take

The supposed death of the point-and-shoot camera notwithstanding, there are many types of compact cameras available for the novice and pro, and many reasons to enjoy a point-and-shoot instead of the phone camera. At prices of less than $100 and lengths less than 4", there exists a group of stand-alone cameras that offers features most smartphones still do not—optical zoom lenses, image stabilization, and grips you can really grip. Of course, one photographer’s definition of compact is never the same as another’s, and almost every type of

If you’ve visited an art museum lately, you probably noticed that contemporary artists have been creating photographic works on an increasingly large scale. With advancements in digital printing, the ability to create massive photographs on practically any surface has become much easier than in the darkroom days. This has led to an explosion of creativity and larger-than-life photographs appearing in myriad forms. For the purpose of this article, “fine art” is used to designate photographs created on unconventional media at a large scale.
When Canon officially released the EOS R5, things changed. No longer was the 5D series, or perhaps even the 1D series, what you needed for a "pro" camera body. The R series just about proved it can hold its own against the giants in the industry. How exactly does it compare to these existing Canon offerings and a few of its main competitors? You're about to find out, below.
