  • Affordable Travel Cameras
    Jun 30 2026

    We consider a fun purchasing challenge this week as we try to figure out what affordable travel camera one of our friends should buy for his son in preparation for an upcoming trip. Also, we strategize about how to stop the epidemic of people posting ungraded log footage on social media.

  • Blackmagic PYXIS 12K Test Drive
    Jun 23 2026

    We had the chance to take a PYXIS 12K for a spin and share our hands-on perspective and findings about this camera in particular and cinema cameras in general. We were surprised by a few of our findings, and we’re left with the question: is this our next camera purchase?

  • Canon R6V and Cinelux Sixteen
    Jun 16 2026

    We take a closer look at Canon’s new R6V and debate how it compares to the R6 III, C50, and Nikon ZR. Is this a promising new vlog camera, or just a less photo-capable R6 III? Also, the Cinelux SIXTEEN brings a new meaning to the phrase “hybrid camera”.

    Jun 9 2026

    It’s an exciting day for travel cameras, with Panasonic releasing the new compact Lumix L10, and Camp Snap dropping an exciting new updated version. We take a look at both of these new cameras and debate whether we’d pick either of these as our next travel camera.

  • Sony a7R VI
    Jun 2 2026

    Sony has announced the a7R VI and we take a look at this latest entrant in their high-resolution camera line. Is it a worthwhile upgrade over the a7R V, and is it a true hybrid camera or really only for photography? We debate the answers to these questions throughout our discussion.

  • Insta360 Mic Pro Hands-On Review
    May 26 2026

    We got the chance to test the new Insta360 Mic Pro wireless lav system, and go deep on all of the features and our experiences using this new mic. Also, is it worth using a phone app to check white balance in the field?

    Note: Insta360 sent us the Mic Pro for review prior to the product launch. Insta360 did not have any editorial control over the contents of this episode and did not have the opportunity to review the episode prior to release.

  • 3D Printed Cameras
    May 12 2026

    We look into the world of 3D printed cameras and explore the various options for printing our own medium-format film camera. Also, the Smartflex LF 4x5 camera caught our eye again, and it looks like an even larger version may be on the way.
