Fiilex released an advanced LED system studio light that boasts full-spectrum light and the ability to mount any Profoto modifiers. But is this LED light worth the spotlight?
Being a digital wedding photographer for the past decade, I have had the pleasure (and displeasure) of using pretty much every different kind of wireless flash system ever invented for these types of photojournalistic situations. Off the top of my head, I have owned or at least extensively used the following systems: Pocket Wizard Plus …

My job requires me to interact with amazing people and professional shooters of all kinds. Of all the things I see captured, automotive racing is one of the more fascinating subjects to cover.

The concept of stop-action photography has been around forever, of course, but it seems like people are getting more and more creative with it lately! Or just fun and silly… 😉 Here’s how we captured this popular type of image:
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.

Canon shooters, photography enthusiasts, aspiring pros, …are you on a quest for the ultimate DSLR? You’ve probably already upgraded once or twice. You traded in your Rebel for a 40D, or a 7D. You traded that in for a 5D, or a 5D mk2…
Have you ever gotten sucked into one of those crazy camera debates, either Nikon vs Canon or something along those lines, and people start throwing around the phrase “it’s just a matter of preference, and the “feel” of the camera” …And you realized you didn’t have any REAL, SOLID REASONS for preferring the “feel” of your Nikon D700? “It’s what I’m used to” is actually a pretty weak excuse, when you actually think about it. Just because I learned to drive on a Toyota, that doesn’t mean I should forget about all other car brands!
So, we finally have two affordable full-frame cameras from Canon and Nikon. A little over three years after Sony brought out their $1999 A850 beginner full-frame DSLR with a 24 megapixel FF sensor, Canon’s 6D is 20 megapixels and $2100, and Nikon’s D600 is 24 megapixels and also $2100.
The Fujifilm X-E1 has almost everything that made the Fujifilm X-Pro 1 popular, from its cool retro form factor to the highly-acclaimed APS-C X-Trans CMOS Sensor, but at a $1,000 price tag entry point.
