  • Is the future here?
    Mar 25 2024

    Will the new global shutter Sony A9III set the photography world spinning? Dan is one of the first pros to get his hands on one, and it looks like it is a gamechanger. As in, all of the rules just changed, especially with off-camera flash. Learn more about this major new camera and what it might mean for the future. And find out what made Michael call a hopefully small group of pedantic photographers "dumb@$$es". (Hopefully, you're not in that group.) :)
