This week, Fujifilm announced a new mirrorless camera to improve upon their previous small form-factor body, the X-S10. The new Fujifilm X-S20 offers a 26 megapixel APS-C sensor in a compact body with fast frame rates and AI-based subject detection autofocus. It’s an excellent choice for photographers looking for advanced features in a small form factor.
We’ve been using the Nik Collection suite of plugins for over a decade, and they are our go-to filters for fine-art image processing. We’ll take a look at the new features in the latest release, which we both agree is well worth the $79 upgrade price. Our patrons can tune in to our bonus video this week and get a tour of the new features.

This week, we go WAY back to the 1860s and feature the photography of Juliet Margaret Cameron (1813-1879). Cameron picked up photography in its very early stages (glass plates and all) and had the benefit of being in the social circles of many of England’s most prominent intellectuals at that time. Her unique portrait style makes her a photographer worth learning more about, which you can do here.
Leica recently announced their newest monochrome rangefinder camera, the 60-megapixel M11 Monochrom. This camera only captures black and white images, and retails for just under $9200 USD.

This week, we got a raft of product announcements:
We then took to answer a listener question about using manual focus portrait (and other) lenses on mirrorless cameras via a mount adapter.
