There’s a new camera category in town. It’s EVIL, and it’s going to kick your DSLR’s ass. EVIL stands for Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens, and is our favorite acronym for cameras like the Olympus Pen, the Lumix GF1 and the Samsung NX10. These small, mirrorless, finderless cameras can fit in a pocket and outperform bulky DSLRs. Here’s why your next camera will probably be EVIL.
I enjoy reading the high end DSLR discussion boards on the internet. Those gearheads go ape over minute differences in “chromatic aberration” and “barrel distortion”. They p…
I think if you are going to make a fetish over camera equipment, it should be junk store cameras, not DSLRs. There’s something about a fifty year old scratched up plastic lens that makes magic happen.

The Lumix GF1 is Panasonic’s answer to the Olympus Pen, and is the second “rangefinder” style Micro Four Thirds camera on the market. It blows away both the EP-1 Pen and also the new EP-2 Pen, and is – amazingly – good enough to replace all but the best of entry-level DSLRs.

by all measures this camera is enigmatic. Not a top performer. No usable as a sole business camera. Not a sports machine. Not a D3s rival by any stretch of the imagination. So why do so many people love this camera and why are they rushing to use them? At the risk of sounding “new age-y” again I’ll say that it’s because the camera has some soul to it

Better news for those who paid around $420 per receiver/transmitter pair, Pocket Wizard will, in “mid to late November” (yes, in ten months) take another $30 of your cash for the plastic, umbrella-mountable AC7 RF Shield. And remember, you’ll need one for every flash you buy. Way to go, PW.

Here are my picks for the best and worst of 2009.
I had the chance to shoot with the Canon EOS-1D Mark IV this past Sunday. Considering all of the focusing problems with their previous top-of-the-line professional camera, I decided to give it a proper test-drive at the Detroit Lions vs. San Francisco 49ers NFL game at Candlestick Park in San Francisco.

Despite being hammered by a paralyzing recession, 2009 turned out to be a surprisingly exciting year for photography gear. And as Technology Specialist for PDN magazine and Editor of the PDN Gear Guide, I had the lucky job of being able to test much of it.
Though year-end lists are always a very subjective matter, the following is my rundown of the stand-out professional “Gear of the Year” for 2009.
