The CCD Sensor is Better Than we All Thought
by Chris Gampat
April 29, 2026
For the past few years, photographers (including me) have been saying that we need to go back to CCD sensors. The only ones saying that we shouldn't do that are product managers, photographers who only shoot in low light or know how to use a flash, and those of us who also make a lot of video. But the CCD sensor is capable of far more than we knew: including a big thing that most photographers forgot about or never even knew.

When it comes to street photography, there are various systems to look at. While photographers opt for full frame cameras, there are some who prefer smaller models that one can go after. This includes Micro Four Thirds, which is pretty fantastic for various reasons. Here is a look at the model that can do it all.
What Camera Manufacturers Could Learn from Video Games

I'm writing this article in the early part of March. And after this, I'm going to go sit in my living room and play Pokemon Fire Red on my Nintendo Switch. It was recently released and it's been quite fun if not a challenging learning curve because it's the first time that I chose a water pokemon as my starter. This is what camera manufacturers haven't done -- with the exception of Leica. But more of the manufacturers should.

When it comes to vintage lenses, one often looks at European companies like Zeiss or Leica. While they have paved the way for many photographers, their Japanese contemporaries are not too far apart. Canon and Nikon may have introduced some iconic lenses decades ago, but Fujifilm, which has gained momentum now, is not too far away either. Here's a look at the Fujifilm lens that is doing better than most in the resale market.
The Single Best Nikon Camera for Street Photography

Street photography is one of the most exciting genres of all time. The ability to create photos in split seconds, while keeping the composition and exposure in mind is truly a gift that keeps giving. While one's inner eye is significant in creation of good street photographs, there is also the other instance of relying on a camera that can react just as well. If you are someone who wants to buy a good Nikon model for this venture, then we certainly have something in mind.
Lightroom Just Got a Really Weird Update

April 28, 2026
Today, Adobe is announcing...well...some stuff I'm not honestly sure that anyone really asked for. All of it seems to be using AI of some sort to add to what it already capable of being done in Photoshop and Lightroom. But photographers have been asking more and more for a version of these pieces of software just without AI being forcefully poured down our throats. All the details you need are below.
The One Way You’re Making Yourself a Worse Photographer
by Chris Gampat
April 28, 2026
I'm writing this article during the start of March; but the idea really began several days before when several of my friends ran into situations where they were tricked by their cameras. Specifically, one was tricked by my camera. You're probably like many others who use a feature like exposure preview. Brands call this different things, but essentially, it previews the exposure's effects on the scene you're about to photograph. It's making you worse -- and here's my explanation of how.
Can This Hack Really Turn Your LUMIX S9 Into a Leica?
by Chris Gampat
April 28, 2026
As a longtime Leica camera user, something that I've always wanted was a way to make the images from my Leica SL2s look a lot more like something else. Specifically, I would've loved some sort of Leica Look support for the camera. Thankfully, Leica kind of gave it to us by uploading images to the Leica Fotos app and then applying the looks there. It's really not the same thing as doing it in-camera or even in Capture One. But I'll admit that they did it. However, I stumbled on the work of one internet sleuth who apparently found a way to bring Leica looks to LUTS. And those luts can be loaded onto LUMIX cameras like the Panasonic S9.
