Canon continues its attack on the DSLR market in early 2016 -- though those lusting for 4K! may want to avert their eyes. The big news earlier was the EOS 80D announcement, a mid-range option for video shooters attracted to the camera's nifty Dual Pixel auto-focus system (which no competitor...

The life of an indie manufacturer is not easy: It's one thing to produce relatively low cost cameras, but it's entirely another thing to get big name directors to use them on their projects. For Blackmagic Design, it would seem the tide is slowly turning in their favor... The Australian cinema...

CES isn't really what it used to be -- a robotic dog was one of this year's highlights -- but that doesn't mean the Vegas electronics expo can't still produce a surprise or two. Case in point: Nikon. As expected, with the D5 Nikon updated its much adored flagship DSLR....

Sony has the mirrorless world abuzz these days. It seems when it comes to camera innovation in recent years, and especially in 2015, all roads point to Sony. I've been testing Sony's latest version of its compact point-and-shoot camera, the RX100 IV. Per the name it's in its fourth incarnation....

This little thing continues to impress me to no end. Against all expectations, the new Sony RX100 IV delivers wonderful image quality in a remarkably tiny, and well engineered, body. I wouldn't trade in my Canon 70D quite yet, though it's getting a little long in the tooth. I'd miss...

Sony is on a roll. Canon? Nikon? When it comes to innovation in cameras -- stills, videos, full frame sensors... you name it -- Sony seems to be leading the pack. Case in point: this new compact Sony RX100 IV shooter. Looks can be deceiving. This is not a simple point-and-shoot camera....

Once again Blackmagic Design drummed up buzz aplenty at NAB in Vegas. This time with a new, compact Super 35 camera called the URSA Mini. A direct threat to the Canon C100 Mark II and Sony FS7?

Google Glass flopped. But that hasn't stopped Sony from taking a (misguided) swing at the wearable market. SmartEyeglass retails for $849, but I don't think they could give these monstrosities away for free.

Say your budget is $10,000. Do you buy a Sony a7S and build it out, or do you make a squeeze and buy it plus a new Sony FS7 giving you both stealth, plus Super 35 options?

Making the jump from a Canon DSLR to a Sony FS7 XDCAM Super 35 camera. The decision, budgeting, spousal drama. What on earth am I thinking?!
