Today I’m going to pick out a few items that I personally would be very happy to find in my stocking on December 25th.  

As the mirrorless (or compact system) camera segment has mushroomed over the last few years, one company has stood out from the rest for consistently releasing high-quality, stylish cameras that produce gorgeous images: Fujifilm.   Today I’m reviewing the rugged, durable X-T1, a camera capable of taking gorgeous images in the most demanding of circumstances.  

Today I’m going to offer you some photography tips to help you make the most of those priceless holiday moments, like the visit to Santa’s grotto, the kids unwrapping presents, and of course everyone’s favourite, Dad asleep with the remote in his hand.

Since the release of the original wearable camera, GoPro has been a go-to for the outdoor action crew who want to capture videos of their wild exploits.
