Three new Nikon lenses were announced tonight. Nikon is adding three new SLR lenses to their optics lineup: the AF-S Nikkor 24mm f/1.8G ED prime, a new AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR standard zoom; and the most exciting of the new lenses – the AF-S Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR – a hand-holdable super-telephoto […]
A few weeks ago I got a message on LinkedIn from Israeli camera strap maker, Miggo. They wanted to know if I was interested in trying out their current Kickstarter project, the “Storm Proof” Agua camera bag. As a confirmed camera bag whore, of course I said yes. Today is the last day for the […]
I took this photo a few weeks ago when I was in Northern California to photograph the annual Sea Otter Classic bike festival, in Monterey. Although I spent most of my life in the Bay Area, I hadn’t actually ridden there for a few years because I live in Utah now. But since Santa Cruz […]
If you read my camera reviews and buying guides regularly then you know many digital cameras now have built-in Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi allows you to wirelessly transfer photos and videos to your Smart Phone so you can share them to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. But what if you don’t want or can’t afford a new […]
I haven’t written much here about Fujifilm’s X-Series mirrorless cameras because they fall into a sort of gray area for me, between smaller mirrorless systems and DSLRs.

This Tuesday, March 3, 2015, was one of the best powder days I can remember. I was up before dawn and headed up the canyon to Alta with my DSLR and the new Sony 4k Action Cam. It was storm skiing all day long in Little Cottonwood Canyon and there was a lot of powder […]
It’s been nearly two years since Nikon introduced the D7100. Tonight, on the eve of the WPPI tradeshow in Las Vegas, the Nikon D7200 DSLR is announced. The D7200 is Nikon’s new top-of-the-line, Wi-Fi-equipped DX-format (APS-C sensor) enthusiast digital SLR. At first glance the D7200 may appear to just be a warmed over version of […]
I know a lot of my friends and followers indulge in risky outdoor behavior. Regardless of what kind of outdoor activities you enjoy, many of you probably like to document your adventures with video. One of the most popular ways to do this is with a POV camera (“POV,” stands for “point-of-view”). POV cameras are […]
The technology that goes into a modern professional-level camera lens is amazing. Anyone who’s used or owned a top shelf Nikon, Canon or other high-end digital SLR lens knows what I’m talking about. The optics, materials, and performance are amazing. Yes – they are expensive. But they’re worth the money. Skeptical? Check out this Nikon […]
