Mirrorless Camera News

The Fujifilm X-T20 is a mirrorless system camera with a 24MP sensor that was developed by Fujifilm. This “X-Trans CMOS III” sensor is already used in Fujifilm’s top-of-the-line X-T2 and X-Pro2 mirrorless cameras. To optimize detail reproduction and sharpness the sensor doesn’t use a low-pass filter: it uses the unique “X-Trans” RGB pattern instead of the standard Bayer pattern.

As the popularity of mirrorless cameras continues to grow, it’s no surprise that prices have come down while features and value-for-the-dollar have increased. Enter the new Fujifilm X-T30—a small powerhouse of a compact mirrorless camera with a rather affordable price tag of $899 (body only).

Does size really matter? To be clear, we're referring camera sensors here so don't let your mind go elsewhere. Or as photographer Anthony Gugliotta poses the question more specifically, "do your really need a full-frame camera or is a crop-sensor model enough."

We recently featured a quick tutorial explaining how to use Tone Curve post-processing tools to rehabilitate poorly-exposed photographs. But most photographers prefer getting things right in the camera, and that's what you'll learn how to do in the next six minutes.

If you were considering buying Nikon's much hyped Z7 and Z6 cameras, now's about as good a time as any. For a limited time, these two new full frame mirrorless cameras come with a free FTZ lens adapter from several online retailers including Amazon and Adorama.

One of the first characteristics many photographers consider when evaluating a lens is how it renders out-of-focus portions of an image. Often referred to as background blur or bokeh, this attribute imparts a unique look and feel to an image that can be very visually appealing.

So you just purchased a new camera and it's time to undertake the task of configuring it properly to suit your particular style of shooting so you "can grab the most out of the sensor." As a Shutterbug reader you've no doubt done this before and know that the menu contains of myriad of default settings you may want to change.
