Introduction In the part 1, I have introduced the purpose of the tests I am doing. In this 1st part, I have genuinely compared the Samsung S20 Fan Edition FG (“S20 FE” in this post) with an APS-C camera (Nikon Z50) and an old but respected full frame Nikon D750. The point of these tests is to evaluate how far I can…

Some years ago, in 2012, I have identified several kinds of cameras which were not existing, whilst there is certainly needs for them. I am not saying manufacturers should design and sell them, I have no idea whereas they can make money out of them, and I understand easily they prefer to focus on other topics more valuable to their business.…
A few years ago, the main reason to buy and use DSLR where mainly the following: Better images quality Optical view finder Great control of the depth of field (thanks to bigger sensor and faster lenses) Better controls and ergonomics Faster AF and many images per second Access to a full photographic system of lenses, flashes and other accessories Nowadays, thanks…
The digital revolution may have began around 1999 or 2000 with the first real DSLR of Nikon and Canon. Almost 15 years later, evolution will continue, every quarter great cameras, software, or new web services are released, but I am more and more believing it is the end of the digital revolution. And that's good news for photography because we may…
I am positively impressed by the quality and the numbers of new products released in 2012, and the compact cameras are becoming even much better. However, I am still missing a few ones: The wide-angle compact There are not really any small compact 16-35 mm (Eq. Full-frame), which is very sad because that would be a great zoom for a tiny…
You want a small camera but you know what you are doing and demand the best: great image quality, great controls, total management of ISO/aperture/speed. The cameras makers like you, no doubt we are a kind of cash cow for them. New cameras are released every quarter and you have the choice: Fuji X-10, Canon S100, Canon G1-X, Sony RX100, Samsung…
New DSLR, new mirrorless, new high end compact, new point and shoot, new smartphone. Every week will start with some good news with photographer. Sensors' capabilities are now outstanding in low light, in high contrasts for landscapes, and for depth of colours for portraits. Other cameras' performances are also always improving in terms of Autofocus, how fast the camera will shoot,…
Light field camera has moved from a technical concept to a mass consumer product recently. Basically, the concept is allowing you to focus after shooting, and theoretically to manage your depth of field (DOF) as you wish, so pretty much one can consider as a real innovation. DOF's management has always been a real challenge for many photographer. I don't have…
You want to follow the herd, you need - with some excellent reasons - a mirrorless. Well, actually there are so many options, I felt it was important to over simplify the landscape just to explain it with simple words. I don't claim having right, I am just giving my basic opinion about main mirrorless cameras. So let's start the show:…
