Show Notes
We go deep on the Insta360 Luna Ultra gimbal camera and discuss our experiences testing it hands-on. Will this camera earn a spot in our everyday carry bags, or is it more of a fun novelty? And is this the perfect camera for Lucas to capture slow-motion video of his dogs? Note: Insta360 sent us a Luna Ultra for review. We also purchased a Luna Ultra ourselves from B&H Photo. No money changed hands, and Insta360 did not have the opportunity to listen to this episode prior to publishing. We strive to provide our most honest hands-on impressions of all products we review.

We consider ways to rekindle appreciation for the gear you already have, although we all know we’d really rather buy that new lens or switch to a new camera system. And on that subject, Sigma’s new 50-120mm f/2.8 DC OS lens fills out an interesting trinity of APS-C zooms from Sigma. If you enjoy the show, we’d welcome your support on Patreon.

We take a look at Sony’s new 400mm f/4.5 and 600mm f/6.3 E-mount telephoto lenses and compare them to some of the zoom options in the E-mount system. Also, is the Sony RX10 V the perfect casual birding camera? If you enjoy the show, we’d welcome your support on Patreon. It’s only $3 per month and helps us keep the show running.

Nikon’s new Z5IIC is their newest compact and low-cost full-frame camera, but does it stand out against its competition? We take a close look at the details and try to decide. Also, Insta360’s new Luna Ultra “Stage Mode” firmware and telephoto lens seem to set it up for success for filming concerts and live events, so we put it to the test to find out if the new add-on lens is worth it.

Canon just dropped the R8 Mark II and we discuss what this means for Canon’s overall lineup, especially for shooters just getting into full-frame. Also, the Camp Snap 110D and Fuji Instax Pal 2 are two new affordable fun cameras, but which one is more appealing? If you enjoy the show, we’d welcome your support on Patreon.

We dig through our inbox and cover some listener mail from recent episodes. Also, Fuji came out with a 400mm telephoto that sits oddly close to some of the other lenses in their lineup, and OM System has (finally?) come out with a new PEN camera that has our interest.
