Vision Research has announced a new model in its Phantom TMX ultrahigh-speed camera lineup, the TMX 5010. The new camera is an ‘entry-level’ slow-motion camera. By ‘entry-level,’ we mean less expensive than the TMX 7510 and TMX 6410 cameras, but estimates still put the TMX 5010 at costing between $60,000 and $80,000.
The Phantom TMX 5010 features a backside-illuminated…

Mt. Fuji’s 5 Best Landscape Photography Locations
July 27, 2021
I have been visiting the surrounding areas of Mt. Fuji for the last ten years and would have to say the easiest way to get around quickly is in a hire car. Most of the best viewing points are from the lakes and hilltops. The distances to each lake with public transport are…

The 2020 Olympics in Tokyo may be devoid of fans this year, but photographers are still in attendance and companies like Canon and Nikon still have rooms filled with camera gear from floor to ceiling to support them.

Mirrorless or DSLR? That is the question. It’s a great time to be a photographer considering a new camera purchase.
