I’ll be the first to admit that I used to not be very fond of using my smartphone for vacation photos. While photos from a smartphone are decent, I’ve always liked the image quality on a point and shoot camera or my mirrorless camera way more and would only trust my memories with them. That’s … Continue reading
When you think action camera, you usually think of a GoPro. That’s all fine and dandy considering that they are the most well known company out there for action cameras but they’re not the only ones who make them, nor are they the most affordable either. There are other makers of action cameras out there … Continue reading
Over the past month, I’ve had the pleasure of using the HTC A9 which in my opinion, had a very good camera on it. Though the phone was not a flagship, it certainly had a near flagship level camera on it. (You can check out my sample photos from that device here and here). Last … Continue reading
I posted up some photo samples from the HTC One A9 more than a week ago that you can take a look at here. Since then, I’ve taken even more photos with the HTC One A9 because so far, the photos I’ve been taking from it have looked pretty darn good. This updated rear camera … Continue reading
Last week I did a review on the HTC One A9, but didn’t really cover the camera all that much. You can check out that review here. Now that’s I’ve had some time to play with the camera and take some photos of it, I have a better understanding of how good it really is … Continue reading
Digital photography with a real camera is still a thing, despite the belief that everyone now only takes photos with their smartphone. While it’s true that smartphone photography is more convenient and easily accessible, I still believe that it can not take the place of a good, dedicated shooter. Sure it might be a hassle … Continue reading

Mid range smartphones are a thing as not everyone can afford the latest and greatest smartphones. Sure you can wait it out and then buy last years model for cheaper but some people just want what’s new, even if it’s not the most powerful. The HTC Desire 626 is just such a device. It borrows … Continue reading
I’ve always been a believer in the dashcam, but availability in the US isn’t quite as widespread as you may think. A lot of places only sell action cams, which yes you can use those, but they don’t have the dedicated features you want from a real dashcam. And when you do find a dashcam, … Continue reading
Over the holiday, I was able to really put the Sony Xperia Z3 through its paces, especially the camera. The thing that I really loved about the Xperia Z3 was the fact that it has a dedicated camera shutter button so using it as a camera came as naturally as you would use a regular … Continue reading
When it comes to action cameras, one name come to mind, and it’s not Polaroid. Basically the GoPro line of action cams is considered the Bentley of action cams, but for regular folks, a GoPro is a bit overkill, especially if you consider how much these go for. Some people just want an action cam … Continue reading
Since I have the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 here with me at the moment for review purposes thanks to Samsung, I decided to test out its camera in a situation which is usually quite unfavorable for smartphone cameras. These are images I shot at night time during a local car show event with lighting from … Continue reading
Remember Polaroid instant cameras and how awesome it was to being able to instantly develop what you shot? Those days are pretty much gone thanks to digital. However, there is still a niche for those cameras and Fujifilm still makes instant cameras and film for them. Recently, a friend of mine from Japan showed me … Continue reading
Yeah, you see that little button on the side of the updated Canon PowerShot N? It’s a Facebook button that will automatically upload photos for you straight to Facebook via Wi-Fi connection. The PowerShot N features a 2.8-inch capacitive, tilt-touch panel LCD, 8x optical zoom and a 28mm wide-angle lens, packaged with a 12.1-megapixel High-Sensitivity … Continue reading
I came across this new social media camera called theQ Camera while browsing my usual photography blogs. It’s touted as the worlds first social media camera and it has a few rather interesting stand out features. On the spec side, theQ features a 5MP sensor with a wide 24mm f/2.4 lens, manual rotation focusing, and … Continue reading
If you have a DSLR and a few extra lenses, you probably also have a camera bag you carry all of it in. The thing is, there are times when you don’t really need to carry all that equipment around and just want something lightweight and comfortable to carry around your camera and maybe a … Continue reading
