RØDE, the Australian company that has nothing to do with Norway or Denmark, has just announced the successor to its popular Wireless Go microphone, the RØDE Wireless Go II. This new gadget isn’t just a successor to the original, but it expands the Wireless Go family. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Wireless Go continued being sold next to the Wireless Go II, as a cheaper option. But is it worth paying an extra $100 for the latest and greatest?...

At some point in the past couple of weeks, you might have read that Xiaomi’s MI MIX Fold, which belongs to a line of phones you might have never seen in the wild or even heard off, will use the world’s first liquid lens in a smartphone. Or perhaps you have seen a leaked video or watched the keynote in which it was announced.

It’s been about half a year since I wrote about the task-management, wiki, note-taking, life-management, all-in-one app Notion. At the time I was using it mainly for my numerous blogs and YouTube videos. At the time I was singing the praises of Notion. But, as with any of my other reviews, I can only ever recommend a product if it passes the test of time. In this article I will be discussing my last six months as a user of Notion....

Up until recently, you needed to have 1000 subscribers and 4000 public watch hours in the past year to be able to enable ads and make money on YouTube. That is no longer the case. Wait, let me rephrase that slightly, it is partially no longer the case. <div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> </div></figure> <div class="gb-button-wrapper gb-button-wrapper-35f9c619"> <a class="gb-button gb-button-e6f43305" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsI0-Q8XvCuGPw1RPtH8nbA?sub_confirmation=1"><span class="gb-icon"><svg xmlns="https://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 576 512" width="1em" height="1em" aria-hidden="true"><path d="M549.655 124.083c-6.281-23.65-24.787-42.276-48.284-48.597C458.781 64 288 64 288 64S117....

Apple has just announced its first three devices running on Apple Silicon. The numbers they are touting sound pretty amazing. So, should you, someone who uses creative applications for video and photo editing, go out and buy a new MacBook Air/Pro or Mac mini as soon as they launch? Let’s have a frank discussion about the Apple M1. The short answer to the opening question is a definite no. The long answer also boils down to what is a solid no with a few very rare exceptions....

This might come as a surprise to you but photography isn’t exactly the cheapest of hobbies out there. Out of all the things I do it has certainly been the priciest by a long shot. My camera alone cost about three times as much as my electric guitar did. And a camera alone isn’t even all you need to get going. <div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> </div></figure> <div class="gb-button-wrapper gb-button-wrapper-df60224f"> <a class="gb-button gb-button-a4adaed8" href="https://www....

If you know me you should know that I like talking about cameras. More often than not you’ll find me complaining about things I don’t like but today, for a change, I’ll be taking a look at a camera that actually intrigues me. I don’t actually own it and I’m not passing this off as a review but I’m still entitled to my own opinion. Everything I know about this camera is based on what the manufacturer has released and reviews I’ve watched and read....

Modern televisions have a resolution of 3840×2160 pixels which is commonly referred to as 4K. A common resolution among smartphone screens is 1920×1080 pixels. We call that resolution Full HD, FHD, or 1080p. The Nintendo Gamecube displayed video games at a resolution of 720×480 pixels or standard definition which is often shortened to SD or 480p. On my desk, I have a Fujifilm X-T4 which has a 3.69 million dot electronic viewfinder (EVF)....

The Zeiss ZX1 is finally up for pre-order. Yes, you read that right, the Zeiss ZX1, which was announced two years ago and subsequently all but forgotten about, will apparently ship sometime in the foreseeable future. Let me tell you why I think the Android-powered Zeiss ZX1 is a terrible idea. <div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> </div></figure> <div class="gb-button-wrapper gb-button-wrapper-bdc7af72"> <a class="gb-button gb-button-34a64be4" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsI0-Q8XvCuGPw1RPtH8nbA?sub_confirmation=1"><span class="gb-icon"><svg xmlns="https://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 576 512" width="1em" height="1em" aria-hidden="true"><path d="M549....
