Supertelephoto lenses are tremendously useful, but they can also be quite expensive. If you are willing to sacrifice having a super-wide maximum aperture, Canon's RF 200-800mm f/6.3-9 IS USM lens offers a lot of the flexibility of a supertelephoto lens without the stratospheric price. This great video review takes a look at the lens and the sort of performance and image quality you can expect from it in usage. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Alex Cooke)

This excellent video review takes a look at what you can expect. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Alex Cooke)

Fujifilm was the focus of our recent video where we compared two of its camera models: the Fujifilm X100V and the X-T5, equipped with the 23mm f/2.0 lens.

In this social experiement, wanted to see if the average person could tell the difference between images of real people photographed by real photographers verses imaginary people created entirely with artificial intelligence. Take my quiz and view the results in what I call "Real vs AI Headshots." [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Patrick Hall)
