I went into my kid’s school a couple months back and spoke to the year group about manufacturing. Honestly it was the most rewarding speaking gig I’ve done all year. It was about the process of making my AI clock and I have a ton of pics from my factory visit to Shenzhen…
Upon getting the press release fro the new TTArtisan 50mm f1.8 Neo lens, a few curious questions went through my mind. First off, I really wondered why it didn't have weather resistance. Even at $89, I think the company could've raised the price a bit and still added it in. But…
The other day, I read something on Reddit about a whole autofocus lens assembly needing replacing because of the millions of accusations that were done. It was the first time that I've ever heard of it. And it cost the photographer over $1,000. Situations like that are why we cr…
After taking the Sony a7RVI into the real world, shooting everything from street scenes to BMX riders to a baseball game, did we finally find a camera that can truly do it all?
One of the latest benefits that we're giving our members are a mystery box of presets for Lightroom or Capture One. Yup, and we worked hard on them too! We're one of the only publications working to help you make images that AI can't really create. In 2025, I started to do thing…

“The average paid newsletter costs $10 per month or $100 per year, according to analysis of thousands of publications hosted on Beehiiv.” KDO memberships start at $3/mo. and I haven’t raised prices since 2016. You folks are getting an incredible deal!
Camera brands have been developing impressive camera and lens technology. Panasonic is one company that has offered some wonderful options, especially those who want a good camera for travel use. Here is a look at the three options from Panasonic that can help.
