Is Canon About to Drop a New Flagship?

By Nilofer Khan

December 3, 2025

The latter end of the year has always been the ideal time for Canon to launch its products. Last November, the company introduced the R1 and the R5 II, which raised users' hopes for a new launch this year as well. So far, we haven't seen any announcement from the company, and it makes us wonder whether a new camera is indeed on its way now. According to a new report, it appears that Canon is working on something, but you may have to wait until next year. Here's a look.

The Fuji X Recipe Generator Puts Fujifilm “Film” Recipes in Your Pocket

By Alberto Lima

December 3, 2025

I’ve been shooting with Fujifilm cameras for fun and work since 2014. I was a bit of a latecomer to the system, buying my first X-Pro (first generation) about four years after its initial launch. What blew me away instantly was the film simulations that made straight-out-of-camera JPEGs viable in a way that I hadn’t experienced before. Now, 11 years later, I’m always looking for a new film recipe, and the Fuji X Recipe Generator helps you have a new look to try in your pocket.

Nikon Imaging Recipes Now Rival Fujifilm Simulations

By Feroz Khan

December 3, 2025

You might be tempted to think that this article is about the Nikon Imaging Recipes found on their Imaging Cloud website, but that's not the case. This piece is dedicated to some selfless souls who want Nikon users to incorporate the classic film stock looks of the analog era into their mirrorless cameras. If I were being honest, I'd say they've really given Nikon owners the dream looks that many photographers in the last decade looked to Fujifilm for. This community of contributors is getting bigger and stronger by the day

For Real: Where is the Nikon Z7 III?

By Chris Gampat

December 3, 2025

Pretty much all of Nikon's cameras have received refreshes in some way or another. But the one that's been sorely left behind is the Nikon Z7 II. I remember when a very good friend of mine was considering the Nikon Z8 but then after some advising by me, ended up settling for the Z7 II. He adores the megapixels, but every time that I compare the performance to my Nikon Zf, his purchase feels somewhat Mesozoic. And this year, I really thought that we'd see the Nikon Z7 II because camera manufacturers are finally starting to realize that photographers buy cameras, too. I'm writing this article in early September 2025, and quite frankly, I think that a few things are probably going to happen.

By Nilofer Khan

December 2, 2025

Full-frame cameras are in demand. They offer a lot of detail, good colors, lightweight, and excellent ergonomics. While there are plenty of cameras to choose from, we examine a few options from three years ago that can still stand on their own today. If you are looking to buy a new full-frame camera that can do it all, these options will be of interest. Have a look.

The Sony a7V is Your Snappier Entry-Level Full-Frame Camera

By Alberto Lima

December 2, 2025

For the past few months, the rumor mill has been churning out teasers and drips of the purported next-generation Sony a7 camera. Now, Sony has officially announced the new jack-of-all-trades camera, the Sony a7V. For Sony photographers seeking an upgrade to their now four-year-old body, the new a7V offers many of the features of the Sony a9III and a1II in a more compact and budget-friendly package. But will it deliever?

Nikon Has a Problem

By Chris Gampat

December 2, 2025

Yes, I know that's a vague title. But it's one that we've discussed many times here on the Phoblographer. We're talking about Nikon cameras and how they work with flashes and strobes. In several of our tests, we've found there to be lots of problems involving the use of flash -- which has forever been the standard light source for professional photographers and those of us who lean into the magic of creativity. To further clarify this statement, Nikon has always had a problem with flash since even the days of the DSLR. But unlike Canon, Sony, Olympus, Panasonic, etc., they never got it under control.

The Best of the Best Fujifilm Cameras. There are Only Two

By Nilofer Khan

December 2, 2025

Fujifilm is one of the few companies that has truly revolutionized the way we view cameras. The company is popular for its X series devices, but with the introduction of medium format, Fujifilm proved it is in for a longer haul. Now competing with brands such as Phase One and Hasselblad, the company has showcased the prowess of the emdium for photographers who like to make images on the street. Today, we look back at the two cameras from our entire portfolio that will never disappoint you.

This Predatory Practice Can Rob Photographers of Lots of Money

By Chris Gampat

December 2, 2025

In my office and in my living room are the photo books of several of my friends and heroes. And I'm well aware of the sacrifices that they've made to create these photo books. Many pay several thousands of dollars to make their books. And let me put it this way: I think that photo books are very important and that we should surely be making them. More importantly, I think that they're one of the absolute best ways to have records of your photography in one place that isn't loaded with comments, hearts, and algorithm, and where you've got full creative control. I will always be a big lover and proponent of photo books. But I think that if you're going to make one, you should avoid a predatory practice.
