Use Usb Power Banks To Get Hours More Shooting Time Out Of Your Camera

The more features that get packed into each new generation of cameras, the less time batteries seem to last. Things like liveview, gps, WiFi, NFC, VR/IS, and a host of other doohickies just drain them faster than they used to. Even if your camera doesn’t feature superfluous battery draining features, other things can kill them quickly, too. Shooting video or timelapse with long exposures, for example.

25 Years Of Digital From Ugly To Awesome

When I received my Nikon Z 9 in late December, I was a bit anxious. Would it live up to the hype? Was it going to be the camera that Nikon had promised (and many Nikon users had been waiting for)? Right away that first day my concerns were put to rest, and over the course of the following week, the more I learned, the more I liked it. That resulted in a long, mostly glowing, blog post....

8K Video Is Now A Real Thing And It S Being Broadcast In Japan

With all the talk of potential 8K Sony cameras recently, there have been a lot of cries of “Overkill!”, “Way too much”, “We’ll never need that!”. On the other hand, Japanese broadcaster NHK just launched the world’s first 8K TV channel. And it kicked off with Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Despite the fact that virtually nobody even has an 8K TV, the BBC reports that NHK have been developing what they call “Super-hi vision” since 1995....
