While mirrorless cameras push the boundaries of autofocus and AI, there is a massive resurgence of interest in “vintage digital.” Specifically, the debate between the older CCD sensors and the “modern” CMOS sensors has reached a fever … Read more
In the fast-paced world of 2025, where mirrorless cameras are pushing 60 megapixels and AI autofocus can track a bird’s eye through a dense forest, there is a quiet rebellion brewing. It’s a movement back to basics, back to tactile controls, and back to a specific “soul” in image making. I’ve been revisiting a lot … Read more
In the fast-paced world of 2025, where camera sensors are pushing triple-digit megapixels and AI autofocus can track a bird’s eye through a hurricane, it feels almost rebellious to pick up a camera from 2004. Yet, here we are, standing in the middle of a serene forest, holding the Canon EOS 20D. Two decades ago, … Read more
