Back in the June 2022 update I mentioned that Adobe added the ability to edit video in the Lightroom (cloud) family of apps. I got a chance to use it this week, and wanted to share how it worked. I captured a time lapse of the Milky Way using the built-in time lapse feature of the Canon R10. This allows you to configure all of the settings, fine tune exposure with test shots, then start the time lapse process of recoding a final MP4 video completely in camera. While not the preferred method for having ultimate control over the post processing, retouching, and video creation, it was super easy to set it and walk away while you are on vacation. The...

24-70mm f/2.8 lenses are the workhorses of choice for a huge range of photographers and filmmakers, as they offer a very versatile focal length range in tandem with a wide maximum aperture. Nonetheless, not everyone needs that f/2.8 aperture, and if you are willing to exchange that for f/4, you can get even more focal length range at a reduced price. For Canon shooters, one such lens is the RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM, and this great video review takes a look at the performance and image quality you can expect from it in practice.

The post Nikon Z7 vs Z7 II: Which Camera Should You Buy? appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Ana Mireles. In this article, I share an in-depth comparison of the Nikon Z7 vs Z7 II.

So if you’re struggling to decide between these two cameras, or if you’re on the fence...
