Started my journey into photography/video over 15 years ago and have worked independently with various styles/companies. I'm a big tech enthusiast and enjoy working with the latest gear.

Sony uses 2 different sensor sizes in their cameras. Full-frame (36x24mm) APS-C (23.5×15.6mm) The APS-C sensor is 1.5x smaller, whereas full-frame is the same size as film back in the day. Both sensors have their own pros and cons, and in this article I’ll explain the benefits of each system. What is a Full-Frame Sensor? Why is it called full-frame? Because a full-frame sensor measures the same as film (36x24mm). It’s a size everyone was familiar with when digital cameras were first created, so it made sense to continue with it. All lenses and systems were designed around this size.…
I have been using both cameras since the day they were released. The Sony A7 IV is a full frame beast, combining the best of the A7 line at an affordable price. The new A6700 has all the latest features but in a super compact body. At the bottom of the post you will find a summary of the 5 biggest differences between the two, and which one I prefer for certain scenarios. 1. Image Quality Sensor: Sony A6700: APS-C sensor with 26 megapixels Sony A7 IV: Full frame sensor with 33 megapixels The A7 IV has a bigger, full…
There are over 100 different lenses to choose from for the Sony A6700. I’ve been shooting with APS-C cameras for many years and the lenses are substantially lighter, smaller and cheaper. With so many options it can be quite difficult to figure out which one to get. The 4 Best Zoom Lenses: Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8 DC DN Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD Sony 70-350mm f/4.5-6.3 G OSS The 4 Best Prime Lenses: Sony 11mm f/1.8 Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN If you buy…
The newly announced Sony FE 300mm f/2.8 GM OSS is the lightest 300mm ever made. It’s half the price and weight of the 400mm f/2.8 and way better than anything out right now from competition. You won’t be able to get your hands on one until spring though. Sony FE 300mm f/2.8 GM OSS Key Features: 1470g (3.24 lb) 12.4 x 26.4cm (4.88 x 10.4″) dimensions 40.5mm filter size (drop-in) 11 diaphragm blades Paired with a 1.4x or 2x converter, the 300mm looks like an exciting lightweight option to replace the much bigger 400/600mm, but that depends on your style.…
The Sony A9 III was just announced along with the lightest 300mm f/2.8 ever made. Fun fact, they both cost exactly the same. The new A9 III is the world’s first full-frame camera to feature a global shutter, but it doesn’t stop there. Sony A9 III Key Features: 24.6MP Sensor Global shutter 120 frames per second (blackout-free) 1/80,000 maximum speed (that’s 80 thousand) 4K 120p with no crop 10-bit 4K 60p oversampled from 6K Pre-capture (up to 1 second) 8.0 stop stabilization Flash Sync at any shutter speed (even 1/80,000) 4-axis 3.2″ LCD screen 9.44 million-dot EVF AI Intelligence Chip…

For photography, this is an excellent travel/all-in-one choice if you are okay with the weight and size. It’s video where this lens truly shines.…
Canon has announced the super-telephoto RF 200-800mm f/6.3-9 IS USM, an exciting lens for extreme wildlife and bird photography. You’ll be happy to know that this lens is not as ridiculously priced as its reach! It costs $1899, making it an amazing price/performance piece of glass. And no, this is not an L lens, despite being white. Canon RF 200-800mm f/6.3-9 IS USM Specifications: 5.5 stops Image Stabilization 2050g (4.5 pounds) Compatible with 1.4x and 2x converters USM Focusing Motor 0.8m closest focusing distance Weather sealed 95mm filter thread At this price, the 200-800mm is probably going to be the…
