Welcome to Bokeh Face! In this episode:

We take an In Focus look at medium-format mirrorless cameras, discussing whether or not they should be seen as the pinnacle of digital-imaging quality and something all photographers should aspire to own.

Then we Gear Up with Caira by Camera Intelligence, a camera (or half of one) with a Micro Four Thirds sensor and mount that attaches to a smartphone. The two combine to deliver dedicated camera imaging power with the intuitive functionality of a smart device. Oh, and it’s infused with Nano Banana AI. Controversial? Yes. Warranted? Let’s discuss…

Finally, in Trouble Shooting, we delve into the rather dry but incredibly useful world of custom buttons. What are they? How do you set them up? Are they worth the effort? And what are their use cases?

Welcome to Bokeh Face! In this episode:

We take an In Focus look at Yashica’s “chassied-up” FX-D 100, 300 and S300, fixed-lens compact cameras that look – to the untrained eye – like the sexy, old-fashioned SLR cameras of yesteryear, while touching upon the huge range of retro-style compact cameras available from other brands. But are they capable little cameras or little more than a gimmick? And who are they actually for?

Then we Gear Up with OM System’s brand-new OM-3 Astro, a dedicated astrophotography version of the retro-cool OM-3 with a modified Infrared Cut Filter. Following a discussion about previous astro cameras such as the Canon EOS 20D and Nikon D810A, James and Chris discuss why astro-centric cameras exist and why some photographers choose them over a still-capable standard offering.

Finally, in Trouble Shooting, the Bokeh Face boys tackle the best lenses for portrait photography, delving deeper than the tried-and-tested 85mm, by exploring a few strategic alternatives – and a few curveballs – along with examples of their use cases.

Welcome to Bokeh Face! In this episode:

We take an In Focus look at spatial photography – and virtual reality in particular. Where is the technology right now? Why is Canon leading the way in terms of specialized VR optics for mirrorless cameras? How does VR compare to augmented reality? And where is VR imaging headed in the near future?

Then we Gear Up with OM System’s incredible range of Micro Four Thirds super-telephoto lenses that make it such a tantalizing prospect for wildlife photographers. We discuss whether or not a small MFT sensor is really that big of a deal when the payoff is a 2x crop factor that puts you closer to the action, and the dramatically reduced weight and size of the system’s bodies and lenses.

Finally, in Trouble Shooting, we reveal our top tips for street photography, including key compositional techniques, how to make the most of natural light, and why you might want to stop relying on that 35mm prime and consider mixing up your choice of focal lengths.
