169: State of the Camera Industry: Part 2

Full Stack Creator ·

2026/08/11

Most camera companies make something great in 2026, which is why choosing one has become so hard. After covering Sony, Nikon, and Canon in part one, we looked at the brands taking less obvious paths. Fujis are cameras people actually want to carry. Great JPEGs, fun film simulations, and a commitment to APS-C and GFX instead of full frame. Lumix offers some of the best value in hybrid cameras now that its autofocus has caught up. Leica is having incredible sucess with the Q series. OM

167: Reaction to the Sony FX5

Full Stack Creator ·

2026/07/24

Based on early reviews rather than hands-on use, this episode assesses how the Sony FX5 moves beyond the FX3 with internal RAW, Open Gate, CineAlta tools, a larger articulating display, and a detachable EVF. It also weighs important trade-offs: no internal ND filters, Open Gate initially limited to RAW, 32-bit float tied to the handle, and incomplete anamorphic support. The result is a strong fit for Sony-based freelance cinema shooters and crews, but a less natural choice for hybrid

The Canon R6 V is a capable camera that raises some questions about how much form factor maters and how much should your existing gear ecosystem shape the decision. Where does Canon's R6 V sit in the video and photo lineup, and most of all, who is this camera for?

2026/06/13

Recorded at Apple Park with Adam Lisagor, this conversation gets into what stood out from WWDC26 beyond just the feature list. It covers the looser, more human feel of this year’s keynote, what it’s like shooting in Apple Immersive Video, and why Apple’s new Photos tools feel both exciting and a little uncomfortable. Spatial Recompose, Expand, and Cleanup open up a bigger discussion about AI, photography, memory, and how much a photo can change before it stops feeling real. The conversation

Apple’s latest Photos app updates bring a new level of AI powered editing directly into the iPhone experience, including tools for spatial reframing, extending the edges of an image, and removing more complex distractions with Cleanup. In this interview, Apple’s camera team explains how these features use depth estimation, Gaussian splatting, private cloud compute, and new image models to make advanced edits feel simple while still preserving the original photo as much as possible.

163: The Great Frame Rate Debate

Full Stack Creator ·

2026/05/28

Frame rates are one of those video settings that can seem more complicated than they need to be, partly because different creative worlds use them differently. Movies are still usually associated with 24fps, which comes from the history of film and the minimum frame rate needed to create convincing motion without wasting film stock. Over time, that look also became tied to narrative filmmaking, because we are used to seeing scripted stories presented that way.For online video, 30fps often
