Richard Wong 2024-06-07 | How does the Panasonic Lumix GH7's inbody image stabilisation perform?

I roasted myself! Osaka Street 65:24 Photo (Lumix S9 with 26mm f/8)

Richard Wong 2024-05-27 | During the recent Lumix Summit event, I took the new Panasonic Lumix S9 with the new Lumix S 26mm f/8 lens to the Osaka streets and took some photos on a beautiful morning. After I came back to New Zealand, I had a look at my photos and thought it would be fun to roast myself a bit and critique my own photos.

Panasonic Lumix S5II/x. FW3.0/2.0 Image Stabilisation Test

Richard Wong 2024-04-10 | Firmware 3.0 for the Lumix S5II (2.0 for S5IIx) adds the new E-Stab HIGH setting which not only allows more steady footage, but also includes perspective distortion correction which get rids of the corner warping effect which is very common when shooting (and annoying!) when shooting with wide angle lenses. This is a side by side comparison video to show you the difference with and without this feature

Best Sony Standard Zoom lens? FE 24-50 f2.8 G vs FE 20-70 f4 G vs FE 24-70 f2.8 GMII

Richard Wong 2024-03-02 | The new Sony FE 24-50mm f/2.8 G has quite a small zoom range, only just over 2x, but the size and weight are smaller than the typical f/2.8 zoom lens. What is the performance of this lens? Is it worth considering? Could it be the best standard zoom lens for Sony E full frame users? I compared it with the Sony FE 20-70 f/4G and the Sony FE 24-70 f/2.8 GMaster II so we can see which is the best lens out of these three.

Richard Wong 2024-02-22 | Panasonic Lumix S 28-200 f/4-7.1 Macro OIS is the world's smallest 7x Zoom lens for full frame cameras! It's virtually the size of the Panasonic Lumix S 20-60 kit lens, only marginally taller.
So in this video we'll have a look at the performance, design, pros and cons of this latest all-in-one lens from Panasonic!

Unfair comparison: Viltrox AF 20mm f/2.8 Z vs Nikon 20mm Z f/1.8 S

Amazon: amzn.to/4bq1lZV (affiliated link)

Could this $158 Viltrox AF 20mm f/2.8 Z be the best budget Nikon Z lens in the market? I've compared it to the $1049 Nikon Z 20mm 1/.8 S and see what is the difference between this budget lens and one of the best 20mm lens in the market.
