I have spent the last three months putting eight of the most talked-about camera drones through their paces on soccer pitches, mountain bike trails, and even a local skate park, all to find the best camera drones for sports photography our team could recommend this year. Sports photography from the air is no longer a … Read more

I tested eight of the most popular indoor security cameras with local storage over the past three months in my own home, my sister’s apartment, and a friend’s small studio.

Six years ago I bought my first action camera for a whitewater rafting trip and ended up with a blurry, waterlogged mess. Things have changed. Today you can grab a budget action camera that shoots clean 4K, survives 30 meters underwater, and includes more mounts than GoPro bundles with its flagship. After spending the last … Read more

I tested 10 of the best zoom lenses for the Canon R7 over six weeks across birding trails, urban street walks, and a multi-day travel trip. The R7’s 1.6x crop factor changes everything about how lenses perform on this camera, turning a modest 100-400mm into a serious 160-640mm wildlife tool. If you shoot with the … Read more

Freezing a split-second moment at a soccer match or basketball game demands more than a standard kit lens. The best lenses for sports photography pair lightning-fast autofocus with long focal lengths and wide apertures so you can capture tack-sharp action even when the light gets tough. I have spent the last three seasons shooting everything … Read more

I have spent the last decade shooting weddings, dimly-lit concerts, and the occasional aurora chase, and I can tell you one thing with absolute certainty: the best mirrorless cameras for low light stills in are nothing like the ones I used five years ago. Sensor technology has caught up with our night-owl ambitions, and the … Read more
