Camera Gear Podcast Posts

Now that the Sony FX5 is officially announced, we dig into the specs and capabilities of this new cine camera. Is this a replacement for the FX3 or a totally new slot in Sony’s lineup? Also, AI is threatening to take our jobs as camera gear podcasters.

We go deep on the Insta360 Luna Ultra gimbal camera and discuss our experiences testing it hands-on. Will this camera earn a spot in our everyday carry bags, or is it more of a fun novelty? And is this the perfect camera for Lucas to capture slow-motion video of his dogs?

Note: Insta360 sent us a Luna Ultra for review. We also purchased a Luna Ultra ourselves from B&H Photo. No money changed hands, and Insta360 did not have the opportunity to listen to this episode prior to publishing. We strive to provide our most honest hands-on impressions of all products we review.

We take a look at some Sony news and rumors this week, with a possible FX5 cinema camera on the horizon as well as a new bridge camera that we wish had an even larger zoom range. Also, Fuji might have a new film simulation on the way, which has Lucas wondering what camera he’s going to have to buy to get access to it.

We had the chance to take a PYXIS 12K for a spin and share our hands-on perspective and findings about this camera in particular and cinema cameras in general. We were surprised by a few of our findings, and we’re left with the question: is this our next camera purchase?

It’s an exciting day for travel cameras, with Panasonic releasing the new compact Lumix L10, and Camp Snap dropping an exciting new updated version. We take a look at both of these new cameras and debate whether we’d pick either of these as our next travel camera.
