I’ve recently been reviewing a range of the latest cameras from several manufacturers, including Sony’s A9 III and A1 II, plus the Canon EOS R1. Aside from increased use of AI to enhance auto focus capability, another thing they’ve in common is eye-watering price tags. These days it isn’t just photographers’ creativity being stretched by such tools; it’s their wallets.

I’ve recently been having a play with the OM System OM-3, a lovely looking mirrorless digital camera with a satisfyingly tactile operation. But one that takes as its inspiration an analogue SLR from the former Olympus some four decades earlier. And prior to that the same manufacturer was re-imagining its own analogue PEN series from the 1960s. It’s not alone of course.

The launch of the ‘video first’ Canon R50 V vlogging camera, among others, has got me thinking. I noticed it happening more or less immediately after the pandemic. Perhaps you did too. With increasing frequency each press release I received heralding a new camera launch replaced the word photographer, videographer – or both – with the non-specific ‘content creator’. At first, I assumed this was just the latest ‘buzz word’ being trotted out by keen-as-mustard marketing teams.

Caught between a roller bag or a hard case? With my freelancer 'hat' on, I've written about a possible solution here 😉👇
The solid-sided Tenba Roadie Roller Air Case 21 is both. So, is this a good option for either cabin or hold storage, as the fancy takes us? https://t.co/LXkQDj2ud8
Rock 'n' roller (bag)! A recent freelance kit review here 👇
A camera-stashing, airline compliant roller bag that converts into a backback, or vice versa, sounds flexibly convenient in theory. But how does using the Vanguard VEO Select 55BT pan out in practice? https://t.co/2U7FPgtRVe
My latest gear review 👇
The suitcase-sized Vanguard Supreme 53D rolling hard case claims to be almost indestructible while housing up to 14 pro-sized cameras and lenses. So, is this leviathan of storage really the big deal it claims? https://t.co/EwnwdVwPeT
