What a waste of previous resources :)

There have been a lot of complains about how recent camera releases are not good enough and some even claimed a camera being “dead on arrival”. The chase for camera perfection is getting out of hand and honestly, quite pointless. The camera is just a tool, and seriously, the cameras we have today are so much more powerful and capable than any other cameras released more than 10 years ago. We should shift our focus away from demanding more and more and more and truly look into ourselves and ask ourselves – why are we not happy with our own photographs? Is the camera truly to be blamed?

We still ain’t 100% pure digital photographers yet! So here you have the first review of the new Ilford Ortho Plus film :)

Mattias Burling did something curious He didn’t test the new 75mm f/1.25 M-mount lens on Leica. He did mount it on the 16 years old Epson R-D1 rangefinder camera. You still find those gorgeous cameras on eBay (see here).

Nice cam, wish Epson would have continued making it!

Sony once had a great advantage when it comes ot AF performance. But both Canon and Nikon are now closing in fast!

Is this smartphone really as good or better than a Micro Four Thirds camera?

Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra boasts one of the best, if not the best camera in smartphones today. The S20 Ultra features 108MP main camera that has F1.8 lens and is optically stabilized. I managed to get my hands on a loaner unit from Samsung Malaysia and I thought why not make a quick comparison test against my own trusty Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III? I am genuinely curious to see how far has the smartphone consumer imaging technology has improved and what the gap is between a smartphone best camera versus a Micro Four Thirds system. Will the 108MP with advanced computational photography tricks win the battle?
