Grading Every Camera Maker's 2023 Performance

Grading Every Camera Maker's 2023 Performance

We want to wish a very happy new year to our podcast sponsor, OM SYSTEM! This morning, we published a story featuring tips from OM SYSTEM Ambassador Emilie Talpin on how to improve your macro photography. Macro photography is one of the most challenging, yet rewarding, genres of photography and Talpin helps us improve our own macro photography by sharing the lessons she has learned throughout her career. Read Emilie’s tips today on PetaPixel and check out the full line of OM SYSTEM cameras and lenses by visiting explore.omsystem.com/petapixel. As PetaPixel closed the door on 2023 and looked forward into 2024, it published multiple stories that looked back on how the major manufacturers fared in the past 365, grading each on what they were able to produce for enthusiasts on a classic scale of A through F. Using those as a springboard, Chris Niccolls, Jordan Drake, and Jaron Schneider offer their own input on how these companies did in the last year, highlighting what they did well, what could have been done better, and what each company needs to do in the year ahead to impress. Make sure you check out PetaPixel's grades on Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, the L-Mount Alliance, Micro Four Thirds, and the best of the rest to follow along with The PetaPixel Podcast team. We use Riverside to record The PetaPixel Podcast in our online recording studio. We hope you enjoy the podcast and we look forward to hearing what you think. If you like what you hear, please support us by subscribing, liking, commenting, and reviewing! Every week, the trio go over comments on YouTube and here on PetaPixel, but if you’d like to send a message for them to hear, you can do so through SpeakPipe. In This Episode
