There are various super fast 50mm lenses out there. We talk glass with f/0.95.
Christopher Frost compares 50mm f/0.95 lenses from Mitakon, TTArtisan, Brightin Star, and Laowa. Enjoy.
Three of the lenses in the video have beem reviewed previously by Christopher Frost:
Here is a new Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS review for you. The RF 100-500mm is a remarkable lens, with many enthusiastic reviews.
At a glance:
Dustin Abbott posted his exhaustive Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS review. From his conclusion:
[the RF 100-500mm] builds on the very strong foundation of the EF 100-400L II while offering some real improvements. Most notable is the additional 100mm of zoom range. The fact that the RF 100-500L reaches 500mm makes it a bit of a unicorn, somewhere between the 100-400mm and 150-600mm lens range. That extra 100mm of reach means that more photographers will feel like they can get sufficient reach without resorting to using a teleconverter and allows them to benefit from the smaller, more portable body style of the 100-400mm type lensAll […] aspects of performance are generally excellent. The build and handling is good, the autofocus is excellent, and, as noted, there aren’t really any flaws in the optical performance. My chief criticisms center on the surprisingly small maximum aperture on the telephoto end and the only partial compatibility with extenders (from 300-500mm only). I suspect both of these flaws are probably the sacrifices that were made at the altar of keeping the lens compact. But the price point of about $2900 is going to be the primary gatekeeper.
As usual Dustin Abbott’s reviews come with sample images, comparison charts, and all the information you might want to know. Dustin’s reviews are what I look for when I am about to purchase new gear. As usual Dustin Abbott also releases a complete video review. See below.

A somewhat different digital camera comparison. Which camera gives you the best feeling when you hold it in your hands?
Coming from the folks at DPReview TV, the video review below is about:
Outside of technical stuff like image quality and autofocus, there are some cameras that just make you happy when you hold them. To celebrate great ergonomics, Chris Niccolls runs down his top five handling digital cameras of all time.
Spoiler: No 1 is a Canon. Enjoy.
Here is a new Sony a7 IV vs Canon EOS R6 comparison review. Maybe the most exhaustive comparison review we ever featured.
Sony a7 IV at a glance:
Canon EOS R6 at a glance:
Coming from our friend Mat at Mirrorless Comparison, the Sony a7 IV vs Canon EOS R6 review doesn’t let a question unanswered. Don’t look further if you want to learn about how these two cameras compare. From Mat’ conclusion:
In terms of autofocus, the two cameras are on the same level. You need specific situations to see a small advantage for one or the other, but overall they deliver an excellent level of speed and precision, and a similar keeper rate.
The R6 maintains an advantage with in-body image stabilisation (photos especially) and continuous shooting speed. I also prefer the Canon ergonomics, although the Sony is much better than before, and offers more customisation.
Concerning image quality, the main difference is the higher resolution of the A7 IV, which adds a bit more noise at high ISO, but has nothing to fear when it comes to dynamic range.
Then, there is video, where I think the A7 IV has the edge. Not only does it deliver more latitude with HDR and Log profiles, but it also has more codecs to offer, higher bitrates and can record for longer without overheating. The latter remains Canon’s weakest point.
The only real advantage for the R6 when it comes to movies is the possibility to record 4K 60p with a small sensor crop, whereas you need to accept a 1.5x crop on the A7 model.

You can dive into the Sony a7 IV vs Canon EOS R6 comparison also by watching the video-version of the review. The video review comes in two parts, the first comparing both cameras for photography, the second for video making. Enjoy.

DPReview TV posted a new video where they discuss the good and the bad of Sony cameras. Since here we all are big Sony fans I thought I might share it with you ;-)
Here is the table of contents for those in a hurry:
More Sony stuff covered here.
From the beloved series “unfair yet interesting comparisons”, here is a new episode. A lens selling for $500 compared with a lens that costs $26,000.
Film Riot compares the Rokinon 35mm T1.5 Cine DSX with the Arri 32mm Master Prime. A Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro was used for the comparison. You might be surprised to see that the inexpensive Rokinon performs well in many areas. Enjoy.
