Photo: Kara Murphy Just days after news came out regarding a drone collision with a firefighting plane working to control the wildfires in California, DJI announced that it will no longer enforce its No-Fly Zones, as reported by PetaPixel. The company shared the news in a blog post, saying that the update follows a similar change put in place in the European Union last year. For over a decade, DJI drone pilots have been somewhat limited in where they could fly drones, as the company's […]

Photo: Richard Butler We've spent a bit more time with the Leica D-Lux 8, an enthusiast compact camera that captured our imaginations last year. As part of our continued testing, we've put it in front of our standard studio test scene, to get a sense of what kind of image quality we can expect from the up-to 17MP crops it takes from a 21MP Four Thirds sensor.

Image: Adobe Adobe has announced that it's working on a feature for Photoshop called Live Co-Editing, which lets multiple people view and edit the same document at once. The concept will be familiar to anyone who's worked in a Google Doc with other people, though applied to photo or graphical editing instead of word processing. The feature is coming next week as a private beta, so it won't immediately be accessible to everyone. If you sign up for the beta and are accepted, you'll be able to […]

Photo: DJI DJI has announced a new drone, offering a folding design unique to its lineup. The DJI Flip is the company’s first foldable drone with full-coverage propeller guards, maintaining safety in a compact, portable package. The palm-sized drone combines the simplicity of the DJI Neo with the photo capabilities of the DJI Mini 3. Like both the Neo and Mini 3, it weighs less than 249 grams, so it's more accessible to fly than heavier drones since you don't need a license from the FAA. […]

Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm F3.5-6.3 @ 16mm | F6.3 | 1/160 sec | ISO 100 Photo: Richard Butler As part of our ongoing review, we took the Z50II traveling over the Christmas period, to see what Nikon's little APS-C model is like as a day-to-day camera. We found it small enough to take on a madcap 11-day trip to Mexico and the UK. The gallery was primarily shot on the retractable Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm F3.5-6.3 VR kit […]

Japan is a street photographer's paradise, but it's the rain that really transforms Japanese cityscapes into something magical. City lights reflect off wet pavement, creating depth and dimension that only exist when it rains, and everyone carries umbrellas, creating captivating shadows and silhouettes. This image, taken in Tokyo during a downpour last year, encapsulates the feeling of wandering through the city's intimate side streets and alleys on a rainy night. Panasonic S5II X and Panasonic […]

Image: Viltrox Companies like Viltrox and Sirui have been putting out Z-mount autofocus primes for a while and Tamron has released a few zoom lenses, but it's still easy to be frustrated with Nikon's selectiveness as to which third-party lenses are allowed on its system. And while the Z mount's design lets you adapt lenses from many other mounts, the adapters can be expensive if you want to use autofocus. Viltrox is looking to change that. Its new E-Z AF adapter lets you mount lenses made […]

While the airplane in question, the Quebec 1, landed safely with no injuries reported, the collision resulted in a large hole in its wing, leaving it grounded and […]

In 2022, we shared Lampert’s Lego Eiffel Tower photograph, which looked like it could be the real thing due to the use of forced perspective and other tricks. This time, he set out to recreate the Endurance, the ship used by Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew in the 1914 expedition aimed at crossing the Antarctic continent for the first time.

Image: Hollyland While wireless microphones have been getting smaller over the years, all thus far still have used transmitter microphones of rather noticeable size. The Hollyland Lark M2S bucks that tradition and offers a tiny solution for more discreet audio recording. Coming in at just seven grams (0.25 ounces) with a logo-free design, it promises to be a nearly invisible mic, as the Mission Invisible launch announcement suggests. The Lark M2S marks the sixth generation of the Lark […]

Images: Sandisk / Canon If you have a Sandisk SD card in your Canon EOS R5 II, you may want to check that it's compatible.

The exact model number of the cards will vary by region, but Sandisk's support site lays out which cards are and aren't compatible with the […]
