Measuring 1/2″ wide and 9″ long, this camera wrist strap is handmade from 8oz Austin double shoulder leather and comes in your choice of midnight black or chestnut brown. It’s stamped lengthwise with the name Wilde-Moon Leather, but can be personalized at no extra charge. This is an awesome accessory for any micro four thirds camera.
Panasonic Lumix LX100 Micro Four Thirds Camera
Not to be outdone by the Fujifilm X100T, Panasonic have announced their own micro four thirds camera: the Lumix LX100. It looks to be a sort of poor man’s Leica, which I mean in the best possible way. Equipped with a 12.8MP sensor and a super-fast 24-75mm f/1.7-2.8 Leica DC zoom lens, this is an impressive portraiture rig right out of the…

Fujifilm X100T Digital Mirrorless Camera
Fujifilm has announced their upcoming X100T camera, successor to 2013’s widely beloved X100S. It’s not so much a huge evolutionary leap as a well-considered refinement with significant improvements in all the areas that matter.
Olympus PEN E-PL7 Micro Four Thirds Camera
The upcoming Olympus E-PL7 is a selfie-friendly micro four thirds camera, with its 180° flip screen, touchscreen shutter release, and 3-axis in-body image stabilization. Of course, it also has other awesome stuff you’d expect from a modern Olympus shooter: 16-megapixel sensor Wi-Fi (e.g. you can send photos to your iPhone for editing in VSCO Cam) TruPic 7 image processor Manual control dial…
SpiderHolster Black Widow Camera Holster
In case the name didn’t already give it away, the SpiderHolster Black Widow is an easy-access holster…for your camera. More specifically, a lightweight point-and-shoot or micro four thirds camera. It attaches directly to your own belt or to the more specialized Black Widow Belt (pictured above, sold separately). From there, it’s a simple matter of screwing the included mounting pin into your…
Brinno Construction Time Lapse Camera
The school I work at built a new playground over the summer. We wanted a simple way to record the process in order to build a time-lapse video after it was built. The Brinno BCC100 Construction Time Lapse Camera was the absolute perfect tool for the job. It runs off 4 AAA batteries that last 78 days. It records onto an included 4 GB SD…
Barton 1972’s Braided Leather Camera Straps
Hong Kong-based company Barton 1972 makes a lot of cool camera straps. The braided leather models are particularly stylish, and they have a sort of soft stretchiness with lots of surface area, so they’re also quite comfortable to wear. Perfect for micro 4/3 cameras. There are several braided straps to choose from: Braided Style ($79) — Depending on how tall you are,…
Sony a5100 Mirrorless Camera
Sony has announced their upcoming mirrorless camera, the a5100. The tl;dr is that it’s basically the a6000 in a more compact package. The a5100 has no electronic viewfinder or any physical control dials to speak of, but it does contain the same 24.3-megapixel CMOS APS-C sensor and BIONZ X image processing engine as the a6000. In other words, it still focuses on…
Panasonic LUMIX GH4 Digital Camera
The features that set the Panasonic LUMIX GH4 apart from its much cheaper competition aren’t the 16MP micro four-thirds sensor, WiFi connectivity, weather-sealed body, fully-articulated rear LCD, or even its excellent battery life. It’s the fact that Panasonic managed to squeeze 4K video recording (!) into such a compact package. The non-video specs are still perfectly respectable, but I wouldn’t pick it…
Olympus TG-3 Digital Camera
For photographers who treat their cameras like the delicate equipment they often are, our current recommendation is the Olympus E-M10 mirrorless camera. But if you need a shooter that can better withstand the elements and still capture amazing shots, you should check out the surprisingly affordable Olympus TG-3. This 16MP all-weather point-and-shoot is tough enough to handle being dropped from 7 feet…
Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mirrorless Camera
If you liked the Olympus E-PL5 camera, you’ll love the new(ish) Olympus E-M10. Despite its slim profile, the E-M10 produces quality images on par with entry-level DSLRs. Compared to the E-PL5, the E-M10 has better manual dials, better image stabilization, and the addition of an electronic viewfinder, all without adding much more bulk. It also has the added benefit of Wi-Fi connectivity,…
Hard Graft’s New Camera Straps
Hard Graft has just added two more straps to its camera accessory collection, something I wrote about a while back. The Instant Camera Strap ($127) is for the photographer who needs no bells or whistles. It’s a simple, non-adjustable leather strap lined with a strip of non-slip wool where it rests around your neck or shoulder. The Re-Process Camera Strap ($166), on…
Shoko Miyamoto’s Camera Straps
Yesterday I stumbled across Shoko Miyamoto’s Etsy shop, where she sells a bunch of handmade camera straps. Her shop lists about 80 straps of varying fabrics, colors, and sizes (all of which are $33 + $3 worldwide shipping). These are my favorites: Glen Check Dark Blue (DSLR | Mirrorless) Green Mix Tweed (DSLR | Mirrorless) Brown Chidori Wool (DSLR | Mirrorless) She…

Leica T (Type 701) Unibody Digital Camera
To develop their new T-series camera, Leica teamed up with the design team at Audi, and boy is it a beaut. Each camera body is milled from a single block of aluminum and hand-polished for 45 minutes—no seriously, you can watch the entire process—resulting in the most Apple-like camera I’ve ever seen. Almost all of the Leica T’s functions are controlled via…
CameraSync for iOS
These days, who wants to plug their iOS device into a computer to back up photos anymore? All of mine end up on Dropbox anyway, so why not cut out the middle man and upload the photos directly? This is where CameraSync comes in handy. Once you’ve set it up with your Dropbox account (other options include Flickr, Amazon S3, Google Drive,…
Tap & Dye Camera Wrist Strap
When our friend Ben Brooks reviewed the ONA Bowery bag, I was drawn to the photo of his camera because of the beautiful leather wrist strap attached to it. The next day, he put up a short review of that strap, which turned out to be made by a company called Tap & Dye. This wrist strap is made from full-grain cowhide…
