Black Friday 2019 is but a memory, and by all accounts customers dropped a ton of cash: According to Adobe, shoppers spent $7.4 billion that day, a 19.6% increase on last year. Among the big sellers were Frozen 2 toys and FIFA 20. The shopping season though, has just begun.  Check out the best Cyber Monday …

Nevermind Black Friday, Target is rocking Cyber Monday with great deals on Apple’s iPad 10.2 and Nikon’s D3500 dSLR bundle, plus major price cuts on Beats Solo3 Wireless headphones, and even more rewards for Target RedCard and Target Circle holders. Target’s Black Friday ad came out a while ago, giving us an early glimpse into likely Cyber Monday deals. And now the giant red bull’s-eye …

I picked the Nikon D3500 as my favorite “entry DSLR” in our camera gift guide this year. To reiterate:  Nikon and Canon’s cheap DSLRs are usually offered in aggressively priced kit bundles this time of year, making them great gift choices for the newbie photographer who’s ready to move beyond a phone. Nikon’s entry-level models will deliver sharper photos, thanks …

Nikon’s not exactly late to the mirrorless party. It was there in the early days with its Nikon 1 series, an odd line based around a 1-inch sensor which eventually fizzled away. But it is the last company to bring an APS-C enthusiast model to a market segment dominated by the Sony A6400 and Canon EOS M50, and to a …

Fujifilm follows up its 50-megapixel mirrorless medium-format GFX 50S and 50R models with the 102MP GFX100, both the least- and most-Fujifilm-like camera the company’s delivered in quite a while. It’s pure Fujifilm in the way that matters: X-T3-like autofocus with fast-for-its-class continuous shooting, 4K video capture, plus the desirable five-axis sensor-shift image stabilization capability that it briefly debuted in last year’s …

Sigma’s the only company that announced a full-frame mirrorless camera in 2018, but it hasn’t started selling it. When the company talked about it at Photokina in September, it didn’t provide much detail save to say it would be out this year. Now that’s slipped to 2020, but the company did state a resolution for the new version of its Foveon …

Olympus‘ Micro Four Thirds OM-D E-M1X is the first pro camera i’ve picked up without bemoaning my lack of upper body strength.  A sibling to the great E-M1 Mark II, it’s designed to attract professional action and wildlife photographers looking for a light(er)-weight alternative to an SLR or even an APS-C mirrorless. While it’s not that light at more than …

Digital photography has changed a lot over the past two decades, with clunky DSLRs giving way to sleek smartphones. Over the next 10 years, expect a similar evolution as the science behind the art changes. Much of the technology in use today represents the breakthroughs of the first generation of digital cameras. Film was stripped away and digital image sensors …

If you take your smartphone photography seriously, it might be time to change your habits. That’s because of improvements to a core camera technology: the raw photo format. Photographers with SLRs and other higher-end cameras have known for years the advantages of skipping ordinary JPEGs and instead shooting raw, which means using the unaltered data directly from a camera’s image …

Adobe released updates for its Lightroom software Tuesday to support the latest phones from Apple, Google and Samsung, and to try to address a little of customers’ never-ending desire for better performance. Lightroom CC and its cousin, Lightroom Classic CC, now are tuned to properly handle the color and correct lens problems of Apple’s iPhone XS, XS Max and XR; …
