Think Tank CF/SD And Battery Wallet Review:

Sometimes when I go out to take pictures, all I want to do is bring just one camera and a lens mounted to it.  Nothing else.  But we’re not in the film days anymore, which means we rely on batteries to get through the day.  We also have memory cards that are pretty tiny, and can often get lost pretty easily.  So, I did a little research to see if I could find some sort of a case for both these items, so I wouldn’t need to take a bag with me on days when I just want to concentrate on the essentials, and I ended up coming across the Think Tank CF/SD And Battery Wallet.  This wallet is what I’ll be talking about today.

Billingham S4 Camera Bag Review:

With mirrorless on the rise, Billingham decided to start a new line of bags specifically catering to the needs of these users.  This new line of bags is called the S Series, and there are currently three models.  I already reviewed the smallest one, and the middle one.  If you have a smaller kit, you may want to read my S2, and S3 reviews instead.  However, if you have a larger mirrorless kit or you want something for even a DSLR set up, the S4 is probably a better fit, and it’s the bag that I will be talking about today.

Happy New Year everyone!  I imagine some of you had a very late night ;).  I sure did, so I’m going to keep today’s post short and sweet.  Tomorrow, I’ll be posting my Billingham S4 review for those who are interested.  Now, I’ll be talking about a really cool setup that I’ve been using for the last couple of weeks in addition to the 50mm Summilux-SL that I’m reviewing.  I’ve been shooting with the Canon EOS M5, and it’s actually a really cool camera.  There’s a lot to love about it, and some things I think Canon should work on but overall, I can definitely see it as a strong competitor to cameras such as ones in the Fuji X-Series.  I have a bunch of lenses on loan with it but one in particular has really been so much fun to use with the EOS M5: the Canon EF 50mm f1.2L USM Lens.

Sony RX100 V Digital Compact Camera Review

Sony RX100 V Digital Compact Camera Review:

The Sony RX100 series has always been popular in the high end compact camera world because it’s pretty much perfect in its class to a lot of photographers.  It has tons of useful features, the image quality is excellent, and all of this is stuffed into a body that is compact enough to fit in one’s pocket.  To top it off, Sony currently sells previous versions of the RX100 along with the latest version, so this makes the RX100 series available to a broader range of customers.  So, with a camera this good, it’s hard to imagine Sony actually making a worthy upgrade but apparently they have with the new RX100 V, which is what I’m reviewing today.
