Thinking of getting the A9 and the 200-600mm for my wildlife photography & film work, I am coming from Nikon DX on the D500 and the AFS 300mm 2.8 Non VR, I have been 23 years with Nikon but feel the Sony A9 will deliver better results for fast moving…

Mike G says:
It amazes me that no manufacturer has made a large sensor (say 1", m43, or APSC size) point and shoot, other than one expensive model by Leica. All of the weather sealed options have the very small sensors (1/2.3 or 1/1.7) that were relevant 10+ years ago. I always thought…

We have the Lumix FZ300. After hearing raves about this camera as a great point and shoot, we have been trying to use it on a tripod. It simply will not focus any closer than about 2'-0", maybe 18" in macro mode. I have taken the camera to Mike's Camera,…

Camera weather sealing, do we need to worry?
One of the benefits of the Olympus and Lumix Micro Four Thirds cameras is their superior weather sealing. Most models from these two manufacturers are so good I no longer even think about putting them away in inclement weather. Having such faith shooting in rain or snow for the last…
Lumix S5 Full-frame Camera Released
My Lumix history Many of you know I’ve been a big fan of Panasonic Lumix cameras for many, many years. At one time I was even one of their ambassadors. However, my affiliation with Panasonic ended about a year and a half ago mainly due to issues with their autofocus…
Photo Tips from the Field: Birds in Flight
Capturing exquisite photos of birds in flight is a popular discussion across the internet. Many photographers wanting to improve their wildlife photography skills often turn to our avian friends for practice and inspiration. Getting that crystal-clear, fast-moving bird, with details in every feather, is like a gift from the photo…
Did Olympus throw in the towel too early?
Leaders in the mirrorless world When Olympus announced they were quitting the photography business, many were taken by surprise. Especially me. I had just heard that in Japan, Olympus and Sony were tied at 39% of the market share in the mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras category. It gave me tremendous hope that…
