May 22, 2017 by Ken Leave a Comment

Iphone’s are the cameras of the future. You do not see a whole lot of people in today’s world using big cameras for their day to day camera usage. Most smart phones are between 200 and $800 and they can take pictures that are comparable to $80,000 Hollywood cameras. The question is, is it even worth it in today’s day and age to spend thousands of dollars on overpriced cameras when you have something that is almost as good for a fraction of the price right in front of you.

Key Takeaways:

Iphone does its best work when it is used outside or in places with a lot of light and can be zoomed out.
Alexa is the best camera by far to use in low light situations. The Alexa stayed nice and sharp even when there wasnt much light.
The iphone is also limited on the colors it picks up if youre taking photographs. Alexa saw many different colors and shades versus the iphone.

“It comes as no surprise that a camera which costs the same amount as a small house on the outskirts of Nashville performs better than something that we carry with us everywhere we go.”

Top 3 Sony a6500 Cages Under $100!

May 17, 2017 by Ken Leave a Comment

3 stars, 1 star off for not being able to add my HSS flash because of bar. Then tried a wireless trigger, nope no fitting that. Another star off for only having 1/4″ holes at base (probably not issue for you) but my monopod etc has 3/8th so needed another adapter. I can see why cages are designed more for film, but they should keep in mind the a6500 user purchased to do a little of both. Otherwise excellent build quality for what amounts to a iPhone protective case for the a6500 in functionality.
