How the new EOS R6 V compares to its competitor the ZR ⚖️

Up until now, Canon’s V-series cameras have mainly been lower-end options aimed towards more casual creators. With the EOS R6 V, though, the company is competing with the likes of Sony’s ZV-E1 and Nikon’s ZR, providing an option between the entry-level vlogging cameras and its pro-grade ones designed to be operated by a team.

It’s an especially interesting competitor to the recent ZR, as they’re similar in several ways: both use the full-frame sensors found in the companies’ enthusiast-tier hybrid cameras, and both focus on letting you up your production value by shooting in Raw. There are pros and cons to each; the ZR has internal 32-bit float audio and a 4” display, compared to the EOS R6 V’s 3” monitor, but Canon allows for full sensor height “open gate” recording, and has full-size HDMI and SD card slots, versus the ZR’s micro-variants. But both clearly target the same market.

The EOS R6 V will be available starting at the end of June, and will retail for $2499, $300 less than the EOS R6 III. There’s also a version with special firmware features for recording stop motion, available for $100 more. The camera is launching alongside the RF 20-50mm F4 L IS USM PZ, a video-focused power zoom lens that will act as its kit option. The kit will cost $3699, $200 less than if you bought the camera body and lens separately. Are you excited about this release?

Unboxing the brand new L10 Fixed Lens Camera: a completely updated version of the LX100 series, with the company’s 26.5MP sensor along with its latest processor.

In addition to updated hardware, it gains a fully articulating screen, OLED viewfinder, and on-sensor phase detection. We don’t have details of battery life, but it uses the large battery used in the likes of the GH7.

We’re excited to see a completely modern enthusiast compact, especially as the L10 addresses many of the shortcomings we saw with the LX100 II.

Better still, its $1500 price tag feels pretty competitive in a time of spiraling pricing.

Are you excited for this release?

DPR Staffer thought her Sony a7 III still felt modern. Then she spent time with the a7 V. The image quality jump wasn’t the shock. The real difference was everything around the shot: stickier autofocus, smarter subject detection, a better screen, cleaner menus, and fewer little frustrations between her and the photo she was trying to capture. Older cameras can still make great images. But once you get used to a newer body that simply gets out of your way, going back can feel very different.

What are your thoughts when it comes to sticking with a model for an extended period of time compared to shooting on the most up-to-date version of your preferred camera? We realize there are many different situations and reasons for any scenario, but we would love to hear from you about your experiences. 👇

35 years ago this month Kodak launched the first commercial digital SLR. The Kodak DCS (Digital Camera System) combines a 1.3MP CCD sensor with a Bayer color filter array.

The sensor was an in-house Kodak chip, the KAF1300, a 21 x 16.6mm sensor, roughly comparable in size to the 1.6x crop sensors in Canon’s later APS-C digital camera. It delivered 1280 x 1024 px images, with both mono and color versions being offered. A cable then connected the camera to a shoulder-slung ‘Digital Storage Unit,’ which contained a 20 megabyte hard drive, lead acid camcorder battery and the ability to add options such as a JPEG compression processing board.

This allowed the camera to capture up to 156 uncompressed images or around 600 compressed photos. If you’re wondering why we’re describing it as the first “commercial” DSLR, it’s because the DCS was developed from a series of earlier, often government/military-funded digital camera projects. Kodak’s earliest DSLRs were created by its Federal Systems Division (FSD), which developed a camera based on a Canon F-1 body and a 1MP CCD sensor, as early as 1988.

The DCS’s lead engineer, Jim McGarvey, said the prominence of Nikon in the US photojournalism market led to the decision to built the original DCS around an F3, but both F-mount and EF-mount versions of later DCS models were produced, with varying levels of input and support from Nikon and Canon. It would be another eight years before Nikon introduced the first Japan-designed DSLR, the recognizably modern Nikon D1.

Scott Pilla (known as spilla in our DPR forums) has a love of the night. His photography journey began with a peaceful walk around his university. Over the years that followed, he came to appreciate how that time of day can make a difference in one’s photography. Here are a few of his photographs and what’s in his gear bag. Check out the full interview with Scott on the web and drop us a message if you’re interested in sharing your own stories 📸

Photographing 🚀 presents distinct challenges; you get one shot at a seconds-long window, the environment is extreme and the flexibility for creativity is limited.

Photographer has made this his specialty, and for Artemis II, the first crewed Moon mission since Apollo 17 in 1972, the pressure was unlike anything he had experienced before. Despite that pressure, Sanders came home with some striking images and videos of the launch, including an unplanned moment of a newly engaged couple celebrating in front of his lens. To learn about what it takes to create images worthy of the moment, we sat down with Sanders to talk about his background, gear, logistics and more.

Catch the interview over on the site and check out Jared’s behind the scenes video where he breaks down his process on his YT channel.
