344 Canon’s New Disposable Camera
Watch this on video | Join us on Discord for more TFOP chat!
There has been a lot of hype recently about a new Canon Camera. Is it genuinely innovative? Does it move dials or change games or shift paradigms? Will it help anyone? Time to dive in. Adrian is unreasonably excited, Jeremiah considerably less so - he wants to destroy a bunch of them. Maybe Chris can help us find a balanced view!
This week we discuss the Canon V1.
Picks of the week:
Mystery woman with loads of celebs
Davinci Resolve Fusion training
Xiaomi modular optical system

342 A New Vivien Maier?
Watch this on video | Join us on Discord for more TFOP chat!
A mystery to solve! A collection of color slides and unprocessed film from the 1960s and 1970s was discovered in the 1980s. The images, separated from their photographer, were meticulously developed by two Bay Area historians. Recently they ran a kickstarter to help them fund the project of processing, curating and investigating all the images - including an objective to identify the photographer!

339 What To Buy?
Watch this on video | Join us on Discord for more TFOP chat!
Following the Photo Show and a recent article in Amateur Photographer about swapping EF lenses for RF lenses, it's time to ask the question - what should we buy? Maybe a small LED light, or an anchor plate? A tripod? An enormous telephoto lens?
It's different for everyone, of course, but here are our thoughts!
Picks of the week:
Sebring Works - Thor Rebel
World's largest camera
