Nikon Not coming out with a new Camera until 2019?

Nikon said they are coming out with a full frame Mirrorless in Q1 of 2019, but does that mean Nikon is not coming out with a DSLR or mirrorless until 2019? I think this would a grave mistake because Nikon(and Canon) needs something to compete with the A7III.

Sony A7III 4k Video test

Buy the Sony A7III.

This is a 4k video test of the Sony A7III. This entire video was recorded in 4k with the on-board Mic in the Sony A7III. We have a 4k view of the city skyline of Madison as well as short clip where I move quickly in the depth of field to test the Autofocus of the A7III in video mode. Overall I think it performed extremely well.

Arsenal Photography App, Worth a look?

One of my friends directed me to the Arsenal Photography App at With Arsenal. It seems pretty interesting and is in the crowdfunding stages of the app. The pre-order is $185 and this project is a combination of hardware and a phone app that lets the camera automatically detect the surrounding environment and adjust the exposure to take the best photos. Most interesting is the fact that it can do stacking in-camera so you can see what the stacked image looks like out in the field instead of having to come back to your computer to do it yourself. This feature alone for me might be worth the price of admission. Let me know what you think.

Nikon 50mm F/1.8 vs Yongnou 50mm f/1.8 lens, which one is better?

One of the most popular lenses is the 50mm f/1.8 prime lens. Its cheap, fast, and takes casual photos very well. There are two options when it comes to this lens for Nikon users, the Yongnou 50mm f/1.8 prime at $77 and the Nikon 50mm F/1.8 prime at $216. So how do these compare. Check out the photos below to see for yourself and which one you would want.

Sony has been doing so well with their digital camera that they decided to try to revive what remains of the film industry by coming out with the Sony A7F. This camera is going to be $800 and includes the following features:

No Mechanical Shutter -- burst rate up to 12fps
10 shot batter
393 AF points - excellent AF system

Looks solid for film enthusiasts.

DJIA Phantom 5 rumors - Interchangable lens camera?

We now have rumors about the DJIA phantom 5 drone. The big news is that it is rumored to have an interchangable lens(ILC) camera on it. This could mean more focused aerial views of the ground, trees, perhaps even wildlife without having to be in a helicopter for normal people. I expect the price to be around $1400.
