Welcome to the latest episode of Bokeh Face: The Digital Camera World Podcast!

This week, James and Mike Gear Up with the Panasonic Lumix L10. It’s got the looks, it’s ‘kind of’ got the form factor, and it’s even got Film Simulation-esque LUTs. But is it really in any danger of taking the Fujifilm X100VI’s retro compact camera crown?

Then they take an In Focus look at gimbal cameras such as the DJI Osmo Pocket and Insta360 Luna, discussing the startling effect they’ve had on both the vlogging camera industry and the video industry as a whole.

Finally, in Trouble Shooting, the Bokeh Face boys tackle budget lenses. What constitutes a budget lens? What are James and Mike’s top picks? And are budget lenses actually ever any good?

Welcome to the latest episode of Bokeh Face: The Digital Camera World Podcast!

02:02 We take an In Focus look at screenless cameras such as the Camp Snap 2 and Flashback ONE35 V2. Why do they exist? Who are they for? And are they just a novelty or a genuine way to reconnect with photography?

15:26 Then we Gear Up with the Canon EOS R6 V, the latest in an increasingly busy lineup of R6-series and video-centric cameras. Confused? Don’t worry, James and Chris rattle through the lineup, pick apart each camera’s differences and suggest their ideal applications.

30:25 Finally, in Trouble Shooting, Chris tackles the sometimes simple, sometimes technical, but always important subject of white balance. Find out why RAW files are so important when it comes to white balance, why auto white balance can’t always be relied upon, and how white balance can be a force for creativity.

Welcome to the latest episode of Bokeh Face: The Digital Camera World Podcast!

This week we're taking an In Focus look at flash (02:26). Is the pop-up flash dead? Here's how it happened, why it happened, when the on-camera flash aesthetic came back and what companies like Godox and Viltrox are doing about it with pocket-sized hotshoe flashguns.

Then we Gear Up with the latest generation of drones that feature 360 cameras – the DJI Avata 360 and Antigravity A1 (14:48). Does this really change the game for imaging, or does it only change it for existing drone shooters?

Finally, in Trouble Shooting we look at how to buy a macro lens (27:45). What do you need to be aware of, what options are available, should you buy second-hand… and could you even get away with a broken lens?
