Our week started off quiet, but then on Tuesday Sony dropped news of the a9 III: The world's first full-frame global shutter camera. What is global shutter? What does this mean for flash and lighting? How are the images? We asked these questions and more - so don't worry, read on, we got you covered. This week the DPR editors also argued and threw things at each other as we debated what were the best cameras you could buy today under $1500. In the end, we landed on some gems. One of my personal favorite reads this week was a primer into how to get into photographing Fashion Week. You'll never look at center stage the same way again after this read.
Okay, enough rabble-rabble, let's get on with the show! — Shaminder |
