New: Nikon Z6 III Review

November 15, 2024 By Dan Finnen

While I spend most of my time writing about analogue film cameras, I still shoot digital mirrorless for professional work. The Nikon Z6 has long been my workhorse main camera, and when the Z6 III came out I was frustrated that most of the comparisons being made were with expensive contemporary cameras like the Z8 […]

New: Polaroid Now+ Review

November 25, 2021 By Dan Finnen

The Polaroid Now from last year was… shall we say, a bit rough. However, I’m thrilled to say that the new Now+/Plus (I wish these cameras had names that were more different) is actually a very solid camera. If you want something new, or you do a lot of self-portrait work, this is the camera […]

New: Polaroid Round Frame Review

July 13, 2021 By Dan Finnen

At last, Polaroid round frame film has returned! I take a deep dive into its current color iteration. It’s been a while since I’ve reviewed Polaroid’s new generations of color film, and they’ve been steadily improving the formula. One word of caution with both round frame and any other Polaroid film – don’t store it […]

New: Canon Rebel 2000 Review

December 29, 2019 By Dan Finnen

It’s hard to believe now, but the first half of the first decade of the 21st century (that’s a mouthful) was dominated by film. The SLR cameras from this era are some of the best 35mm ever made. Fortunately, because they’re not (currently) interesting to collectors, they’re cheap and plentiful. The Canon Rebel 2000 is […]

New: Nikon One Touch L35AF2 Review

December 5, 2019 By Dan Finnen

I’ve been on the hunt for a great, affordable pocket Nikon 35mm camera that doesn’t break the bank, and I’ve found a winner in the Nikon One Touch, also confusingly labeled the L35AF2 (but not on the camera body, that’d be way too easy). The One Touch is fantastic for travel and street photography, but […]

New: Canon G5X Mk II Review

October 24, 2019 By Dan Finnen

There’s nothing like a high-quality raw one-inch pocket camera to take with you on the road, and I’ve spent the past few weeks testing out the new Canon G5X Mk II, taking it to Ireland and beyond. Despite the limitations of the smallish sensor when compared to the grain-free results you can get from APS-C […]

New: Nikon One Touch Zoom 90s Review

January 4, 2019 By Dan Finnen

I really want a great pocket 35mm camera, but I really don’t want to pay a crazy amount for it. To begin my quest, I’ve purchased a bunch of cheapies off of eBay to see if I can find a diamond in the rough. First up to get the review treatment is the Nikon One […]

New: Polaroid OneStep+ Camera Review

September 10, 2018 By Dan Finnen

Just in time for the holiday season, Polaroid Originals is back with a new camera! This time they’ve combined the chocolate of the affordable and accessible OneStep2 with the peanut butter of the bluetooth powered control of the I-1. While not replacing my SLR 680 anytime soon, the OneStep+ is a great camera for people […]

New: Polaroid Originals SX-70 Instant Film Review

August 19, 2018 By Dan Finnen

SX-70 is 600’s cranky older brother, and it’s taken me quite a bit of trial and error to finally get a review together for Polaroid Originals’ version of this format. SX-70 requires a ton of light and uses cameras that not only lack built-in flash, but are also decades older and thus, more prone to […]

New: Nikon N90s Camera Review

March 25, 2018 By Dan Finnen

I’m finally getting around to reviewing my backlog of Nikon film SLR cameras! First up is the trusty ol’ Nikon N90s. This 90s-era camera can be had for peanuts today, and works great with decades’ worth of lenses. I still prefer the excellent Nikon F100, but you can’t go wrong with this guy. Read the […]
