Mirrorless Cameras

Olympus PEN-F with 17mm f1.8 lens I had the special privilege of playing with a pre-production PEN-F for the last few weeks, before the official announcement. A big thanks to Olympus for giving me a chance to use the camera. The following are my impressions of this beautifully retro and full modern digital camera. The…

Since posting his Fujifilm X-Pro2 review, Patrick La Roque has followed up with a short series of articles called Six Days in Tokyo which, as the title suggests, are all about his trip to Japan for the 5 year anniversary of the Fujifilm X series...

It's been a while since I've taken any night shots. It's not something I do
that often, not for any particular reason (other than fear of getting
mugged!) Anyway, over the weekend I had the chance to take some pictures of
the Grand Canal area of Dublin City after dark. I had my Sony A6000 with
me, along with a sigma 30mm and 19mm lens, and my somewhat ancient
Manfrotto tripod. 

Today, Gordon Laing of Camera Labs published his full review of the Fujifilm XF 90mm f/2 portrait lens for the Fuji X system. Instead of writing a stand-alone review of the lens, he uses another portrait lens, the XF 56mm f/1.2, as a point of comparison throughout the article. In particular, he concentrates on the out-of-focus rendering of both primes, their autofocus performance for sports...

Despite being over two years old, the Olympus OM-D E-M1 remains one of the most capable cameras for a diverse number of genres, from the more “tame” varieties such as wedding or events to those that put the high-end features of the camera to the test, such sports, adventure or wildlife...

We’ve seen lots of hands-on and official videos about the new Fujifilm products announced a few days agobut new media and articles keep surfacing on the web. The one we came across this morning was published by X-Photographer Jeff Carter. He had the chance to test the new XF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 lens for motor sports...

Having recently reviewed the M.Zuiko 300mm f/4 ourselves on MirrorLessons, we can’t help but wonder what other photographers and reviewers have to say about this telephoto prime. Unless you have experience in wildlife photography, it isn’t the easiest lens to use, but you can get good results with patience and perseverance as the following articles show.

Leica introduces the Leica X-U, its first “tough” camera for underwater and extreme conditions

Today Olympus announced their most advanced digital Pen to date, the Pen F. Instead of repeating the news here as well, we thought it would be more interesting to compare the key differences between the Pen F and its direct competitors on the mirrorless market. We’re starting with the Panasonic GX8 since it is the only Micro Four Thirds camera as of now to share the same 20MP sensor.

Mathieu Gasquet of MirrorLessons gives his first impressions about the new Olympus Pen F.

Mathieu of MirrorLessons compares the Zeiss Loxia 21mm f/2.8 with the Batis 25mm f/2 for the Sony FE mount.

Portrait photographer and visual artist Tom Nguyen recently travelled to Florida for his Christmas vacation. Although he brought along his Sony A7r II for a photography gig, he mostly relied on his two Panasonic Lumix cameras, the LX100 and G7, for his travel photography. He used to own a GH4 but found that he preferred the G7 for its size, ergonomics, button placement and full array of features. Having used the camera myself on a couple of occasions, I would agree with his statement!
