Flying soon? We take a look at how the Canon RF15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM and the RF24-105mm f/4L IS USM fare for travel photography.

The move to a mirrorless system is inevitable, but is the Canon EOS R5 the camera that will convince people to switch over?

In Nikon’s current slate of mirrorless cameras, the Nikon Z 50 is the best one thus far. This is not a slight towards the quality of their other mirrorless cameras, especially as a proud owner of a Z 6 myself. But for its price and feature set, the Z 50 is the perfect camera for budding photographers.   Upon receiving the Nikon Z 50, one thing was made apparent; this camera is tiny. I’ve previously mentioned how the Z 7 had a smaller body compared to DSLRs — the Z 50 is even smaller. It is essentially a further shrunken-down version…

Let’s begin with this: the Canon EOS RP is a surprising model that deviates from Canon’s usual EOS releases ; it doesn’t come with a new sensor or a dark-oriented focusing system. Instead, it is a full-frame mirrorless camera that costs less than other benchmark models such as the Canon EOS M5 and the Sony A6500. At S$1,699, Canon has done away with the notion that a full-frame camera with decent image quality should cost you an arm and a leg. Compared to its DSLR counterpart (6D Mk II), it is significantly cheaper and seems like the perfect camera for…

Home surveillance and monitoring are still on the minds of Singaporeans even with how safe the country has been. According to The Economist’s 2017 Safe Cities Index, Singapore ranks second just behind Tokyo, Japan, which clinched the world’s safest city spot. To alleviate concerns of homeowners,  Arlo launched their new home security camera onto the shores of Singapore – the Arlo Ultra. The device is the top-of-the-range out of their camera system line-up, and the Arlo Ultra has the capability to capture a 4K resolution video with High Dynamic Range (HDR) so that users can get the sharpest detail possible…

On Monday, 17 June 2019, Canon launched its first instant camera printer – available in two models – for its Mini Photo Printer lineup which includes a fresh logo and a revamped branding for the range. The rebranded iNSPiC line stems from the words ‘inspiring pictures’, precisely encapsulating the intentions of the new additions. The iNSPiC [C] and iNSPiC [S] series join the line-up as pocket-sized instant camera printers that combine image capturing capabilities with the instant gratification of compact mini printers. The iNSPiC cameras were carefully designed to be stylish and lightweight – the perfect must-have for parties and…

Every waking moment, another full-frame mirrorless camera is released. Not one to miss the boat, Canon steps up their game and delivers its very own Canon EOS R, equipped with the also new RF mount. The Canon EOS R is basically the dream of every (Canon-loving) photographer just two years ago — lightweight… capable… coming with edge-to-edge focusing… and even lenses that dwarf the existing EF lineup… Truly an immaculate piece of equipment. Yet, I didn’t think much of it, other than a sneak peek of what Canon has to offer in the mirrorless world. It didn’t seem to be…

NETGEAR’s recent wireless camera product, the Arlo Pro 2, has been making waves in the surveillance camera world ever since it was launched in 2017. It is notable that Arlo has established itself as a name for its reliable range of surveillance camera systems over the years. The second-generation Arlo camera comes with better video resolution, motion detection, and easier installation. While Arlo cameras are known for being the world’s first 100% wire-free, weatherproof security cameras, the Arlo Pro 2 prizes itself amongst the rest for its customisable features that makes it ideal for different households and organisations to personalize…

Equipped with a high-resolution electronic viewfinder and the first ever on-sensor phase detect system, Nikon has released its first ever full-frame mirrorless camera – the Nikon Z 7. It comes jam-packed with features that seem impressive enough to tick off every photographer’s dream camera specs, such as its 45.7 megapixels sensor, 493 on sensor phase detect system, a blistering 9 frames per second, and a 3.6 million dot electronic viewfinder. Would it live up to our expectations? We put it to the test and here’s what we found: Body and Handling Due to the absence of a mirror box, the…

Home to a stabilized 4K camera, the Sony FDR-X3000 action camera has taken a slice of the market from its biggest competitors. How does it still stack up against its fierce rivals after almost two years of its release? Hang on tight to your adventure pants while we break it down for you!  Stabilisation Released in the late September of 2016, the FDR-X3000 turned a lot of heads when it brought Sony’s BOSS (Balanced Optical Steady Shot) stabilisation to the table. This technology allows the EXMOR R CMOS Sensor and the 17mm ZEISS lens (35mm equivalent) to be able to move…
