After The Washington Post published an article declaring that artificial intelligence images "amplify our worst stereotypes," PetaPixel has put together a bias comparison of the three major text-to-image generators.
In the last decade, 4K video recording has gone from a format only used in high-end productions to a feature found on even the most entry-level cameras and smartphones. It was inevitable that there would be another resolution bump as sensors and computing power improved, and now we have a number of compelling full-frame mirrorless cameras that can record 8K video internally (right to the memory card). We decided to compare the most compelling 8K-capable, full-frame mirrorless cameras to see which was your best option today: the Sony Alpha 1, Canon R5 C, and Nikon Z8.
It's time for a State of the Union, Camera Edition. In recent years, we have seen some dramatically positive changes from all the major camera manufacturers, but nobody is perfect. Let's talk about each one's weak points.
I recently stated that the Alpha 7RV is my favorite Sony camera to date, and one of the most ideal platforms for what I want personally in a camera. Since then I've had the pleasure of using the Nikon Z8, and it has definitely made an impression on me as the best Nikon camera I’ve used so far. When we saw that the price was similar, it made perfect sense to do a shoot-out between the two.
One of our favorite types of video to make is buying guides, to help our viewers decide what products are best for them. It also presents an opportunity for me to share my personal preferences about what I would choose. Our latest episode is all about Canon RF mount lenses, and I give you my favorites in the following categories: ultra-wide, normal primes, standard zoom, telephoto zoom, portrait lenses, and macros.
One of the most frequently asked sets of questions I receive from other photographers is: What print lab do you use? Which online photo printing service is the best quality? Who prints the best quality photos?
Last week, Twitter announced that they were adding view counts to tweets on Twitter. I thought I’d use the announcement to very unscientifically compare the number of views one of my photos received on Twitter vs. Flickr.
In this detailed technical article, I compare six AI-based noise reduction programs for the demands of astrophotography. Some can work wonders. Others can ruin your image.
Smartphone technology and sensor image quality have advanced so much in recent years that phone manufacturers are boasting photographs that can rival those taken by larger mirrorless and DSLR cameras. But is it true?
Lexar has revealed the pricing of its new Gold Series CFexpress Type A cards and while it is more expensive than both Sony and ProGrade Digital equivalents, in testing the new card handily outperforms both.
NASA has shared a new image that has been captured by the James Webb Space Telescope and side by side with the same cluster of stars captured by the Spitzer Space Telescope, it's clear how much better Webb's MIRI camera is.
What is the difference in quality between a $500 35mm Rokinon lens and a $26,000 Arri Master Prime? That is exactly what filmmaker and YouTuber Ryan Connolly of Film Riot wanted to find out.
The debate over which lens and accessories are best for macro photography has gone on since the beginning of the craft. With so many options out there ranging from just a $8 to over $1,000, it is definitely a daunting field to enter. Thankfully, photographer and YouTuber, Wolf Amri, has decided to tackle that subject in this new video.
I just did a ISO comparison with the Nikon Z9 compared to the Nikon Z6 II and Nikon D850. I’ve been using my old D850 a lot for astrophotography and have been very pleased with its ISO performance.
Light and Motion made some lofty promises when it announced the Reflex LED lighting system. Designed to be both a still and video light, it can certainly do both, but we wanted to see if it truly could replace standalone classic strobe systems like the Profoto A1X.
Let’s compare a basic camera to one of the best cameras out there and more toward the pricey side, let’s be honest. I always heard the best camera is the one you have on you so let’s find out if that is true!
Google's New Pixel 6 Pro is the first real "flagship" smartphone from the company and boasts the specifications on paper to back that up. But how does it handle side-by-side comparisons against the industry's leaders?
I use the GoPro Hero cameras all the time for my video productions, but not for action. I like the tiny Hero’s for moving car shots, street walking, and just general situations where a little camera can be placed in out-of-the-way places to pick up my shot.
Why is it so difficult to compare one light to another? It would be bad enough to say that watts, LUX, watt-seconds, and guide numbers aren’t directly comparable. And unless you’ve been around lights for a long time, these measurements won’t even make intuitive sense.
ProGrade Digital just released the first CFexpress Type A cards that aren't made by Sony and while they aren't "cheap" by any stretch of the imagination, they are more affordable than Sony's offering. But does that discount come at a performance cost?
Of all the various factors and variables involved in photography, light is by far the most important one. Photographer Karl Taylor argues that control over light will actually supersede the quality of a camera.
The Digital Picture has published an in-depth in-body image stabilization (IBIS) test that compared the performance of the Canon EOS R5 and the Sony Alpha 1. In many cases, Canon's EOS R5 showed a 1/3 to 2/3 stop advantage over Sony's flagship.
Wondering which oc Canon's new mirrorless cameras is right for you? Photographer Kevin Raposo breaks down twenty of the major features and deciding factors between the Canon EOS R5 and the Canon EOS R6.
Picking the right light modifier is often crucial to the success of the image. With hundreds of different modifiers to choose from, there is really nothing you can’t do. However, a wide choice often ends up confusing or possibly scaring photographers.
When I created my first impression video of the Fujinon XF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 R LM OIS WR lens, I received lots of questions regarding how it compared to the XF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR.
The Razer Blade 14 released just a few short weeks ago is aimed squarely at gamers. The headline on the Razer website is "the world's most powerful 14-inch gaming laptop." But don't be fooled by the glowing green logo and the RGB-backlit keyboard: with its AMD CPU, NVIDIA GPU, and color-accurate QHD display, the Blade 14 is an ideal choice for photo and video editors who are looking for a PC that's portable and powerful.
Within a few months of each other at the beginning of 2021, both Sony and Sigma announced 35mm f/1.4 lenses for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras. They were just begging for a comparison to be made.
While reviewing the Leica 24-70mm f/2.8, I was able to spend some time with a lens from Sigma that has been accused of being the exact same lens in a rehoused body. But is it?
This morning, Adobe unveiled the long-awaited version of Lightroom Classic that is fully optimized for Apple Silicon devices, and we had a chance to test it out before release. Our hopes were high for a program so famously sluggish. Could Apple’s M1 processor deliver a hefty performance boost for photographers? In short: yes. The latest version of Lightroom Classic was up to 25 percent faster on the M1 than on our more expensive Intel-based Mac.
Hot on the heels of Capture One, Adobe has finally brought native Apple silicon support for Lightroom Classic. In addition to promising straight performance improvements, Adobe is also adding several new features -- like Super Resolution -- to the popular photo editor.
