We're here to tell Fujifilm to stop beating around the bush and bring back film.

America is crumbling and the treats must flow. We've paused the tariff on podcasts to bring you this new episode of Sensor Noise. It turns out that in a hobby where the main brands manufacture almost exclusively in Asia means that US consumers will be hit hard by the latest round of insane foreign policy choices.

Please come to Andrew's photo shoot at the Leisure Club in Columbus, OH on April 27th! https://www.mixily.com/event/1106602240133015142

Huster’s Event

https://www.mixily.com/event/1106602240133015142

We ask a simple question: do you really understand what industry you're in?

It's a news-bonanza this week! We discuss the new releases from Lomography, Leica, Viltrox, Zeiss, Panasonic, Sigma, and more. Also, Andrew's photoshoot results and a self-hosting tech tangent.

On this episode we discuss OM’s newest cameras, Nikon and RED finally starting to unify their lineups, and Arthur's newest toys.

We're full of beans today. We discuss a bunch of news from nearly all of Canon's lines of business, some AI slop, and the results of Andrew's Video Adventure.

On this episode we discuss some confusingly named products from Leica and DJI, bits we missed at CES, our growing hatred for Meta platforms, and Andrew's upcoming video project.
