The Fuji X100s Review: Brutally Simple & Highly Effective (Even If You Didn’t Want to Admit It)

The Fuji X100s. Better, Faster, Stronger.

Best New Cameras and Photo Gear — 8 Products for the Photographer’s Daydream

ChaseJarvis_SonyRX-1_creditpopularphotography
PhotoKina, the photography industry's extravaganza of products and announcements, went down last week. Every two years, the tribes gather in Cologne Germany to showcase the latest and greatest and give us a peak into the future. I did not attend this year. To be straight-up, I'm not a big fan of trade shows. No offense to anyone who digs the gadgetry and flood of products and promotion, but these fluorescent-lit extravaganzas sort of give me... read more ›
