Three years ago I dragged my Sony 200-600mm G lens through a foggy Texas wetland trying to photograph a great blue heron at 580mm equivalent focal length.

A crisp, well-lit facecam keeps them watching, following, and subbing. I have spent the last several months testing webcams, PTZ cameras, and mirrorless setups across … Read more

I have spent the better part of three years filming property walkthroughs, listing announcements, and neighborhood showcases for Instagram Reels and TikTok. When agents ask me what gear actually works for solo filming, I tell them the same thing every time: the best cameras for real estate Reels are the ones you will actually carry … Read more

I tested all 10 of these webcams across 30 days of actual Twitch streams, switching between evening game sessions and morning IRL chats with my chat. The difference between a $60 cam and a $250 cam became painfully obvious in my first low-light raid night with friends, so I am breaking it down here for … Read more
