Through the cacophony of forest sounds, your ears home in on a buzzy, almost garbled ascending song. Perhaps you recognize it immediately, or maybe you need to confer with one of the trusty internet databases or apps. You train your eyes on the canopy, scanning for movement of any kind, when you see it: the cerulean warbler, a small rowdy songbird with wings slightly splayed from the body.

After the smartphone revolution, it appeared that the days of the compact camera were done. How wrong we were. It’s true that a few years back, point-and-shoot options were few and far between. There were just a handful of options on the market, and some industry titans even left the market entirely. Despite the long-rumored demise of the compact camera, it seems that photo enthusiasts still desire a dedicated device without the distractions that come with a smartphone.
What is a compact or “point-and-shoot” camera? Just because a camera is “

In this article series, we will take a look at five different production styles and come up with suggestions for camera accessories suitable for that style. This article will cover a range of different camera bodies and should provide a foundation for building out your camera package.

A global shutter (or fast readout speeds), genlock capability, and timecode input are key factors to look for when selecting a camera for your VP video capture. Let’s review these specifications and highlight several cameras that incorporate these key specs.

It's not every day that a piece of photography history passes through B&H. Sure, every camera and lens carries a little bit of the past with it, from a DSLR made in 2015 to an old rangefinder from the 50s. History lives in the images they've captured and the hands they've been passed through. That said, there are some cameras and lenses that stand out among the rest. Especially when they come bearing the serial numbers 0000001, 0000002, and 0000003.

Editing is an essential piece of the photography puzzle. We all strive to get it right in camera, but even back in the glory days of analog photography, much of the magic happened in the dark room. Today, we have even more tools at our disposal, from photo management software to programs like Adobe Photoshop where we can make drastic changes to our work.
What we consider too much in terms of editing is up to the artist and their creative vision. What matters more is being able to make the edits you wish to make in the most efficient way

I love the Sony A7 IV. That might be a strange way to begin a review of the A7 V, but an important fact to mention. When I first put my hands on a Sony camera years ago, I loved the customization they offered, and of course, I loved the glass.
