The Sony a6500 surprised everyone when it was announced only six months after the a6300. Though nearly identical in appearance and specifications, the new camera adds 5-axis stabilisation and a larger buffer memory while improving the overheating issue when recording in 4K. These and a couple of other small improvements make the a6500 the flagship APS-C mirrorless camera for the E-mount system. Following more than two months of testing, we can finally present our complete review of the camera to you.
Sony FE 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G OSS Review
The 70-300mmm G lens is the longest telephoto lens you can currently find for Sony APS-C and full-frame mirrorless cameras. This may not be the case for long, however, as Sony is committed to releasing more lenses for the E-mount system and rumors about a possible 100-400mm have already surfaced. Either way, a 70-300mm lens is a must-have zoom in every interchangeable camera system so let’s have a look at how good the Sony version is.

Fujifilm X-T2 Complete Review
I admit that we took our time finishing our review of the Fujifilm X-T2. We bought the camera last September but then multiple other things kept pushing the completion of this full review to a later date. In a way, this is positive though, as it has allowed me to have a more comprehensive experience with the camera.
Dreaming about landscape photography on Trappist-1
I have always been fascinated by astronomy and the eternal question: are we alone in the universe? NASA’s discovery of seven earth-like planets in the Trappist-1 system yesterday is exciting news to my eyes and ears. Although concrete information about the habitability of these worlds is still out of our reach, it’s a little grain of hope that I welcome as the best news of the year so far.
After scanning through various articles and videos that explain NASA’s discoveries, I started to imagine what it would be like to take photographs on one of these planets from a photographer’s point of view. Well, if you are a hopeless dreamer as I am, here are a few interesting things to fantasise about.
