I’m a Sony Camera Fan

By Alberto Lima

November 7, 2025

Many photographers use Sony cameras, spanning professionals, hobbyists, and content creators. These cameras have garnered a ton of positive press thanks to the company leaning into technology and pushing the envelope in terms of specs, MFT charts, and, of course, courting influencers. In doing so, Sony has managed to carve out one of the most active and vocal of fanbases around; this article is not for them.

The Most Important Thing to Know if You Want to Turn Your Photos Into Art

By Chris Gampat

November 7, 2025

In several conversations that I've had with various friends and professional photographers, we all agree: printing your photographs turns them into actual art and gives it a whole lot of freedom to become something beyond what it is digitally. And we know that only the most artistic amongst us are printing our images these days. Luckily, the barrier to entry is pretty easy in the same way it is with all photography. And the most important thing that you need to figure out is this: matte or glossy? Yes, even people who think that printing can be expensive don't have to worry about the cost with companies like Lumaprints. They make printing out to be some of the most affordable I've ever seen and they maintain the same high image quality that you made when you exported your image.

Why Buying an APS-C Camera in 2025 is a Terrible Idea

By Chris Gampat

November 7, 2025

Last year, I stated that we're in a full-frame revolution. We also stated that small-sensor cameras are terrible -- which spurred a lot of reactions from other publications. And it seems like it's taken a while, but it seems like the internet has gotten over its anger at these statements too. Back in the DSLR days, APS-C cameras were all about having smaller bodies. But these days, that's not always the case. Instead, it's often about just having a price ladder. At a certain point, it's totally irrelevant to purchase a new APS-C camera and sometimes the same can be said about Micro Four Thirds. Instead, it makes so much more sense to go buy a used full-frame camera that will be cheaper than a brand new APS-C camera and also often better.

The long-rumored and anticipated Canon EOS R6 Mark III has finally been revealed, and it appears to be everything we expected it to be. That said, with the R6 Mark III, Canon is clearly targeting the Enthusiast and content creator market with a camera that places a strong emphasis on video recording, while also offering some improvements for photographers. Let’s jump right into the news.

Make Your Portraits Look Nostalgic With Our Retro Digital Presets

By Feroz Khan

November 6, 2025

The late 90s and early 00s were responsible for some of the most unique-looking digital images. Much of that was greatly due not just to smaller sensor sizes, but also to the technology behind them. Given how far we've come in the last 25 years with sensor technology, most digital camera images these days, even compact ones, seem too clinical. Not to mention it's becoming harder to distinguish between them. Bring back that old feeling and nostalgia with our Retro Digital presets for Adobe Lightroom and Capture One.
