Sony Alpha Repost: Youth Sports Photography Made Easier with the Sony a6700 and 100-400mm Lens.

BY Sony Alpha Universe October 30, 2026 Sony Alpha Universe

Youth sports can be some of the most rewarding subjects to photograph. They can also be some of the hardest. The action changes direction constantly, players move quickly across a large field, and the best moments aren’t always the obvious ones. A celebration on the bench, a quick look between teammates, or a quiet moment before the next play can end up being just as meaningful as the goal itself. That’s where the right combination of reach, autofocus and portability can make a real difference. In this Sony Alpha Universe […]

Canon EOS R8 Mark II vs EOS R6 Mark III: Which New Canon Full-Frame Camera Should You Buy?

BY Joe Donoghue October 23, 2026 Gear

Canon has made the full-frame mirrorless decision a lot more interesting. The new EOS R8 Mark II is no longer simply the lightweight entry point into full-frame. It now has in-body image stabilization, improved auto-focus, 40 fps electronic shooting, better ergonomics and uncropped 4K60 video oversampled from 6K. At the same time, the EOS R6 Mark III sits a step above it with more resolution, dual card slots, a larger battery, stronger video tools and the kind of durability and workflow features that matter once photography becomes more serious. So […]

DJI Osmo Pocket 4 vs Pocket 4P: Which One Is Right for You?

BY Joe Donoghue October 16, 2026 Video

Pocket cameras have changed the way a lot of us think about video. You no longer need a full camera rig to get stabilized, high-quality footage, and you don’t need to choose between something portable and something capable. DJI’s Osmo Pocket line has become popular because it gives creators a camera they can actually carry all day. With the Osmo Pocket 4 and the newer Pocket 4P, DJI now gives you two very capable options that look similar at first glance, but are actually designed for slightly different users. The […]

How to Plan a Better Travel Story Before You Leave: Travelling to Panama with regional flights. What’s in my Bag.

BY Joe Donoghue October 9, 2026 Travel

The more I travel with a camera, the more I realize that good travel storytelling starts before the trip. It’s easy to think about travel photography as something that happens once you arrive. You pack your favourite camera, throw a few lenses in a bag, bring enough memory cards and hope the right moments happen in front of you. That works sometimes. But I’m heading to Panama with my family soon, and this trip has forced me to think more carefully about what I’m bringing, what I want to capture […]

Fall Landscape Photography: Cameras, Lenses, Gear and Tips for Capturing Autumn at Its Best

BY Joe Donoghue October 2, 2026 Landscapes

There is something about fall that makes people want to pick up a camera. The colour changes quickly. Morning fog hangs over lakes and fields. The light gets softer. Sunsets come earlier. Forest floors fill with texture and contrast. And here in Canada, the season can go from green to peak colour to bare trees in what feels like no time at all. That short window is exactly what makes fall landscape photography so rewarding. Whether you’re heading into Algonquin Park, photographing a favourite trail close to home, or just […]

Sony Alpha Repost: Creative Filmmaking in Motion with the Sony FX5

BY Sony Alpha Universe September 25, 2026 Sony Alpha Universe

Some of the best filmmaking happens when the plan changes. A shift in natural light, an unexpected movement from your subject, or a composition you discover only after you start shooting can completely change the direction of a scene. For filmmakers working this way, the camera needs to keep up without constantly pulling attention away from what is happening in front of the lens. That is exactly what director and cinematographer Christina Ienna set out to explore with the new Sony FX5. Working outdoors with dancer Tyler Angell, Ienna kept […]

Why Print Your Photos? A Guide to Canon and Fujifilm Photo Printers at Henry’s

BY Henry's September 18, 2026 Gear

We take more photos than ever. They live on our phones, memory cards, hard drives, cloud storage, and social feeds. But there is still something completely different about holding a photograph in your hand. A print slows you down. It gives an image a sense of permanence. It turns a photo from something you scroll past into something you can frame, gift, display, scrapbook, sell, or simply keep. And if you’re the kind of photographer who enjoys being involved in the entire creative process, owning a photo printer lets you […]

Summer Is Over. Now What? How to Turn Your Summer Photos Into Something More

BY Joe Donoghue September 11, 2026 Get Inspired, Start Here

Summer has a funny way of filling our phones, memory cards, and hard drives faster than we realize. Family trips. Cottage weekends. Camping. Weddings. Road trips. Backyard barbecues. Wildlife encounters. Sunsets. Kids jumping off docks. Maybe even a few photos you forgot you took. Then September arrives. Schedules fill up again, school starts, evenings get shorter, and suddenly those hundreds, or thousands, of summer photos are sitting untouched. This is actually one of the best times of year to go back through them. Not just to organize your files, but […]

The Best Video Cameras for Every Kind of Storytelling in 2026

BY Henry's September 7, 2026 Articles

Choosing a video camera used to be mostly about budget. Today, it’s much more about workflow. A YouTube creator working alone needs something very different from a documentary filmmaker chasing a story through unpredictable conditions. A podcast studio has different priorities than an event filmmaker. And someone producing short films may care far more about codecs, dynamic range, rigging and colour than they do about portability. That’s why “best camera under $3,000” lists only tell part of the story. A better question is: What kind of stories are you trying […]

Point-and-Shoot Cameras Are Back: The Best Compact Cameras to Buy in 2026

BY Henry's August 28, 2026 Articles

For a while, it looked like smartphones might completely replace the point-and-shoot camera. Then something interesting happened. People started wanting cameras again. Not necessarily big mirrorless systems with multiple lenses, batteries and a backpack full of accessories. They wanted something smaller. Something fun. Something they could throw into a jacket pocket or travel bag and actually enjoy using. Compact cameras have come roaring back, and the category in 2026 is more interesting than it has been in years. Some offer huge optical zoom ranges your smartphone simply can’t match. Others […]
