Following yesterday’s reports from Canon Rumors and EOSHD about delays in shipping of the EOS R5 to retailers, Canon has released a statement to set the record straight. There is no delay, says Canon. The first shipment is going out this week, as promised. The statement was prompted primarily by a report published by EOSHD

[embedded content] Photographer and occasional PetaPixel contributor Usman Dawood has put together a video and camera showcase that seeks to prove a simple, possibly overlooked point: the best beginner camera for aspiring professionals isn’t a high-end APS-C system… it’s a used Canon 5D Mark II. The recommendation might seem absurd to some readers—the camera is
There are some pretty epic video taken with high-speed cameras: from the smell of rain to light’s “sonic boom.” But have you ever seen you’d see the movement of light? Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne managed to capture a light beam bouncing between a strategically placed set of mirrors. They
Nothing is as thrilling as the moment when all of your planning and preparation to get “the shot” pays off, right before your eyes.

Your best

Multiple outlets with inside information are reporting that Canon is holding back and/or delaying shipments of the new EOS R5 and EOS R6 cameras as a result of the overheating issues that early reviews have been reporting. This could be a sign that a recall is in the works. While a recall might seem like
[embedded content] During the a7S III announcement, Sony made much of the heat dissipation technology that allegedly allows the camera to record 4K/60p video internally for over one hour. The implication was clear: “our camera doesn’t overheat.” But at least a couple of reviewers have had a different experience… This “controversy” began with a video
[embedded content] Are your lenses not quite wide enough to get that landscape shot you want? Or perhaps your camera’s resolution isn’t quite high enough to print it as big as you want to? Well, that’s where stitched panoramas come into play. The process is fairly straightforward and offers a lot of advantages over just
Today Sony announced its third-generation video-centric full-frame mirrorless camera, the Sony A7S III.

Capture One has jumped into the preset game with the release of the Beyond Collection: two new ‘style packs’ that allow you to apply “the feel and character” of various film and black & white “looks” to your photography, with some customization options throw in for good measure. The style packs aren’t technically “presets,” hence
[embedded content] Moments ago, Ted Forbes over at The Art of Photography uploaded a video that you probably saw coming: a deep-dive on the brand new menu system that Sony debuted with the Sony a7S III. If you’re wondering how the menus have changed, and what Sony did (and didn’t) address, this is a great
Canon Europe has released the Advanced User Guide for the recently announced Canon EOS R5 mirrorless camera. Yup, that’s right, the whole thing as a downloadable PDF file.

Last week, I went out to photograph the comet NEOWISE before it disappeared. I had never seen or photographed a comet before, and it far exceeded my expectations! I filmed my process along the way, including several tips for star photography (and of course comet photography too). Here’s the video, which we just published on YouTube:

Kodak’s stock skyrocketed severalfold today, and it had nothing to do with the company’s long-established business in the world of photography. News broke that Kodak had secured at $765 million loan from the US government to shift its attention to producing ingredients for generic drugs. The Wall Street Journal reports that Kodak received the first

I shot with the Leica M10-R on a bright day in the Angeles National Forest. Sunny conditions were an opportunity to photograph high-contrast scenes. In this image, I was able to recover substantial detail in the shadows of the foreground. The vast majority of new cameras today are marketed with an emphasis on their technology
Since its announcement in August of 2016, the Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro 1:1 VC USD has been a popular macro lens for Canon EF, Nikon F, and Sony A-mount cameras.

[embedded content] The European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO VLT) has captured a world’s first: the first ever image of two giant exoplanets orbiting a young ‘Sun-like’ star 300 light years away from our own. The photograph could provide important information about the formation of our own solar system. The groundbreaking image—which is discussed
[embedded content] Dave Pardue over at Imaging Resource has just finished filming a crop-sensor IBIS shootout that you definitely want to check out. Using a specially-built four-camera “rig”, he shot the Panasonic GH5, Fuji X-T4, Olympus E-M1 III, and Sony a6600 side-by-side (by-side-by-side) so you can see exactly how the stabilization in each camera compares.
[embedded content] Up until now, most of the overheating hyperbole has been hypothetical. It’s based on documentation that Canon has released. But how closely does it represent the real world? Well, the fact that Canon has apparently patented an active cooling EF to RF adapter should be a big clue. But if you needed some

With all of the focus on the RF-mount and the debut of the EOS R5 and EOS R6, it’s easy to assume that Canon has given up on the EOS M lineup. But according to the most recent reports, that’s not true. Canon’s in it “for the long haul,” with new features and at least
