Nikon has posted their 5th teaser for the new Z6 and Z7 full frame mirrorless cameras coming this week from Nikon. In this video, the testers for this new system give their first impressions and being a marketing piece, they’re obviously all positive.

You can see the rest of the teaser videos here.

According to Nokishita, Zeiss will be adding to the Otus line of lenses ahead of Photokina. The new lens will be a 100mm f/1.4 Otus APO Sonnar T*.

The new lens will have an APO Sonnar design and a filter diameter of 86mm. The new lens will be available for both ZF (Nikon) and ZE (Canon) mount.

Color Management Can Be Easy

You are likely familiar with color management if you’ve spent time behind a camera or if you have invested a fair bit of your time in photography and videography. We often unconsciously perceive the absence of color management in everyday life. For example, we have all taken pictures, ordered prints and suddenly realized that they have a flaw, like a green cast. “That’s not what it looked like when I took the picture!” is the most common reaction.

The PhotographyBlog has completed their review of the Canon PowerShot SX740 HS.

The review seems to be a mixed bag, as Canon has selectively removed some features and added others.

The Canon PowerShot SX740 HS falls firmly into the “modest upgrade” category of camera releases, principally adding just two new features to a design that hasn’t really changed very much during the last few years. 4K video recording is the new headline grabbing feature, and for some people this will be reason alone to consider paying the full RRP for the latest model – for everyone else, we’d advise opting for last year’s inevitably discounted SX730 model instead, which only suffers in comparison by offering slower burst shooting rates – otherwise, it’s essentially the same camera.
