Fujifilm X-H2S Review for Wildlife and Bird Photography

Mathieu — Thu, 06 Oct 2022 14:50:59 +0000

Fujifilm waited a while before updating the original X-H1, a camera released in 2018 with good intentions but at the wrong time. It had too little to offer considering its high price tag (which was the same as that of the much sought-after Sony A7 III, released in the same ...

Sony A1 for Bird Photography (with Bird AF Review)

Mathieu — Mon, 08 Nov 2021 20:40:40 +0000

I was “this close” to giving up on the Sony A1. The usual places from which I rent my equipment still hadn’t received it at the time of publishing this article. At other companies, it was never available. One of them even stopped responding to me after saying they could ...

Here we go again: a new firmware comes out, promising improvements in the autofocus department, and I’m back taking pictures of my favourite birds with the Panasonic G9, which at this point I believe is the mirrorless camera I’ve tested the most for this genre. Since its release in 2017, ...

A few months ago, our reader David asked if I could test an unusual combination: the Nikon Z50 with the Nikkor 300mm f/4E PF ED VR and the teleconverter 1.4x. He wanted to move away from his Panasonic gear without losing the lightweight advantage of micro four thirds. I liked ...

Fujifilm X-T4 and Birds in Flight Review

Mathieu — Wed, 26 Aug 2020 16:26:51 +0000

I’ve tested most of the high-end Fujifilm cameras for birds in flight, from the original X-T1 to the surprising X-Pro2. The X-T4, released in 2020, is not all that different from its predecessor in terms of its specifications, but it represents the best performance Fujifilm has to offer thanks mostly ...
