Nikon D7100 Field Review: Breaking The Mold, Again
Nikon seems to be the champion of “trickle-down features”. What does that mean? Over the ~4 generations of Nikon DSLRs that have come out in the past decade or so, Nikon has had the habit of taking flagship features from their high-end pro cameras, and putting those features in the more affordable model cameras. When the Nikon D300 came out along side the flagship D3, it was a $1800 camera with roughly the same autofocus system as a $5,000 camera.

Weekly Lightroom Edit: A Muted Abstract Seascape
Sometimes as a landscape photographer, your images and your vision don’t match perfectly. Especially when you’re shooting in RAW and processing in Adobe Camera Raw, a serene and beautiful sunset can wind up looking pretty drab on your computer because of how flat Adobe’s initial defaults are.
Nikon’s Awesome Rebates Extended until March 30th!
This actually happens quite a lot, in fact many of Nikon’s rebates are almost perpetual throughout the year. However these most recent Nikon rebates were pretty significant compared to in the past, and so it is with much excitement that I can share this good news with you!

Canon Develops A New High-Sensitivity 35mm 1080p Sensor For Video!
The pixels are 19 microns square, which is 7.5x times the size of a regular full-frame 35mm DSLR sensor such as in the Canon 1DX. That’s what you get when you design a full-frame sensor dedicated exclusively to 1080p video capture! Apparently, this thing can make the light of a full moon look like broad daylight.

When the Nikon D7100 was announced, I was definitely impressed by pretty much every one of it’s features. Namely, this is by far the most affordable camera body to EVER have flagship autofocus, of any DSLR manufacturer ever.
