About this episode
It's that time of year again at the B&H Photography Podcast . Now firmly established as a tradition, with the end of the year in sight and gifting season in full swing, we take an episode to talk about the most interesting—dare I say, best—cameras of the year. Our guests include podcast regular Levi Tenebaum and B&H SuperStore camera expert Georgina Diaz. This year, we start with an overview of mirrorless cameras announced in 2019, including the new full-frames from Panasonic , Sony , Leica and Sigma . We also mention the new APS-C and Micro Four Thirds format cameras such as the FUJIFILM X-Pro 3 , the Sony Alpha a6600 , the Nikon Z50 , and the Olympus OM-D E-M1X Mirrorless Digital Camera. Perhaps most interesting are the mirrorless medium format high-resolution cameras that were introduced, including the FUJIFILM GFX 100 and Hasselblad X1D II 50C. Jumping ahead to DSLR cameras, we see that Nikon and Canon updated their flagship models, Canon offering the EOS-1D X Mark II DSLR and Nikon, the D6 DSLR Camera . Canon also announced its compact mirrorless full frame, the Canon EOS RP . High-end point-and-shoots from Sony and Canon were released, as were three new waterproof tough cameras from Ricoh , FUJIFILM , and Olympus . After a break, we take on the subject of lenses and accessories and highlight a few lenses that caught our attention, such as the FUJIFILM XF 16-80mm f/4 R OIS WR , the Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS , the Nikon NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct lens , and several others. We wrap up the episode with a discussion of lights, tripods, drones, and other accessories. Our guests bring their expertise to this conversation as we compare new cameras to their predecessors, discuss specs, and get insight from the SuperStore floor regarding what have been the hot items from 2019. Join us for this timely and educational episode. Guests: Levi Tenenbaum and Georgina Diaz
