Fujifilm Japan’s recently-announced Instax Mini 90 is an instant film camera that wears the same retro styling seen in some of the company’s other cameras like the X-M1. It uses Instax film, Fuji’s instant film that measures 2.13 x 3.4 inches — about the size of a credit card.

You’ve more than likely heard about the Canon 5D Mk III RAW Hack. We too have been keeping a close eye on the Magic Lantern (ML) team as of late. In the last 4 months they’ve enjoyed their greatest triumphs since initially cracking the 5D Mark II’s code almost 4 years ago. It’s been a wild ride, and even though it’s far from over, we’re ready to join in. The LensRentals crew has been independently testing the various new firmware builds all summer long and we feel it’s now safe to recommend them to our customers.
By site editor Dan Chung: RED EPIC DRAGON – ITS THE REAL DEAL ! from Mark Toia on Vimeo. DP Mark Toia has posted some stunning test footage from the much anticipated Dragon sensor. It is a $9500 US upgrade for the sensor in the Epic-Mysterium-X, has a 6K
“Single still frames compared to a top of the line professional 35mm Digital stills cameras, I’m going to say that the EPIC matches, if not betters most. Don’t ask me how they do it, but every single frame from the DRAGON is 109meg !! @16bit when saved as a tiff from RCX. and at 100 Frames per second.”
The brass-barreled Petzval lens looks beautiful by itself, but of course, the real magic happens when you take photos with it. It’s a prime lens with a focal length of 85mm — great for portraits — and its maximum aperture of f/2.2 captures shallow depth of field
about a week ago Hasselblad dropped the other high-heeled lace-up shoe and announced the Stellar, which is last year’s model of the Sony RX100 (a very fine little camera, but now superceeded by the much better RX100II). What does it offer beyond the camera that one can already buy at Kmart? It has a wooden grip and Hasselblad charge 3X the usual price
DxOMark published test results for several super tele photo Nikon lenses, including the Nikkor 200mm f/2 (see review) which is one of the sharpest lens they have ever measured: Nikkor AF-S 200mm f/2G ED VR II “Mounted on a 36Mpix D800 the lens achieves a
putting ahead of lenses like the Nikon 85mm f/1.4 and f/1.8 models but also the Sigma 35mm/1.4 and the recently tested 300mm and 400mm f/2.8 telephotos
Magic Lantern, the folks behind the free EOS Camera Tool software for Canon DSLRs, have released a custom firmware hack for the Canon 5D Mark III and 7D. They call their latest release Dual ISO and claim that it expands the dynamic range of the 5D Mark II

From Magic Lantern The Magic Lantern team is letting the world know that they are at the beginning of a new function for the 5D Mark III and EOS 7D. Apparently
I wouldn’t call it challenging, but a little annoying. In Paris, you’ll always have one person who comes over and gives you the, “Why’d you take the picture, why’d you take the picture?” Sometimes we’ve had cops come over. And this isn’t going to a war or working where people are doing heroin on the streets – which I’ve already seen – or dealing with lowlifes, I’m just talking about ordinary people here. Parisians tend to be a little “intellectual” and it becomes a whole exercise for them, so it gets me a little flustered. What I mean by “flustered” is that I don’t have much respect for it. I just say, “Okay, get a cop.” I’m not going to get into a whole dialogue because, for me, I don’t agree with their premise. I do agree that you could ask me why I took a photo, but it depends how you ask me. You don’t treat me as a piece of shit; I’m not going to take it. You have to have a tough skin to be a street photographer.
Photography is equipment-centric, but being a photojournalist requires that we look far beyond the obvious. We need to be prepared for each day’s unknown
Nokia has finally married its 41-megapixel PureView camera technology with Windows Phone. The result: Nokia’s Lumia 1020, a smartphone that essentially looks like the Lumia 920 with a big, powerful camera on its back.
Canon today announced the successor to their 60D DSLR, named the Canon 70D. Featuring a very interesting new Dual Pixel CMOS AF system that promises “instant and precise focusing of video as well as still images,” the EOS 70D also has a completely new 20.
The long journey that I made at the age of nineteen in search of the Gypsies was my photography school and a school of life. They taught me that there’s always a solution, that we must never give up, that there’s always hope
With the announcement of the RX1/R and the RX100 II, Sony has expanded its Cyber-shot RX-line of compact premium cameras to four. The new models are variations of the original RX1 and RX100, which both remain in the line-up. The RX1/R is identical to the
reveals somewhat how his massive camera works and the complicated chemistry that goes on to make the pictures happen. A cool little video that shows off Boogie’s process. The Tom Waits soundtrack and mad scientist vibe fits him too
Fujifilm today announced the 16 megapixel X-M1, the third model in its compact system camera line. Although the least expensive of the trio, the X-M1 is built around the same 16 megapixel, APS-C sized X-Trans CMOS sensor as the X-Pro 1 and the X-E1. Becau
While the X-M1 may not offer the same build quality or speed as the X-E1, it sounds like it might be a good option for pro’s who want an affordable, full-function compact interchangeable lens camera to toss in their bag.
So our sources werer right… I told you 😉 ! This is the Fuji X-M1 with no viewfinder and tilting screen. Here are the images via Digicaminfo! And you also se

Remember when you carried a point and shoot camera along with your cell phone? Me too. A few years ago, digital point and shoots from Canon and Nikon and Sony were everywhere. We all quit carrying them once smartphones hit that good-enough sweet spot. Something similar will inevitably happen to another style of camera that’s exploding in popularity right now: the POV camera.
The X100s is Fuji’s ode to photography. Find out why it’s one of the best cameras made in long time here with this hands-on review that shouldn’t be missed.
Where the X100 was a quirky camera that took a number of firmware updates to get to a point where it was reasonably reliable, the X100s was a well-oiled machine right out of the box. The difference between versions is surprisingly vast, and that’s to Fuji’s credit as well.
today we launched our new Mirrorless Mover collection of bags for mirrorless cameras. They range in size from the Mirrorless Mover 5, which fits one small size mirrorless body with a small telephoto or pancake lens attached, up to the Mirrorless Mover 30i, which fits one medium to large size mirrorless body plus two to four lenses and an iPad.
