BY Joe Donoghue July 10, 2026 New Gear

Two Canon mirrorless cameras without lenses on an orange background, showcasing front lenses and grips.

Canon has done something bold. Rather than trying to build one camera that does everything, they’ve built two cameras for two very different creators. The Canon EOS R6 Mark III is designed for photographers who occasionally shoot video. The Canon EOS R6 V is designed for filmmakers and content creators who occasionally take photos. While they share Canon’s latest imaging technology and outstanding image quality, these cameras aren’t simply different versions of the same body. From the moment you pick them up, it’s clear they were designed with completely different workflows in mind. So […]

There’s something raw about street photography. No controlled lighting. No perfect setups. No second chances. It’s real life happening in front of you at full speed, and your job is simple: recognize the moment before it disappears. But street photography in 2026 has evolved into something much bigger. Today’s creators are no longer choosing between stills and video. They’re blending both. Capturing cinematic moments, spontaneous human interaction, urban energy, and turning everyday streets into visual stories worth sharing. Whether you’re shooting stills, filming content, or learning how to do both, […]

For a lot of photographers, wedding photography begins with a single moment. Maybe it’s the first dance.A nervous smile before the ceremony.A father seeing his daughter in her dress for the first time. And then it happens. That first click… clicks. Suddenly, photography becomes more than just taking pictures. You realize you’re preserving moments people will remember for the rest of their lives. The pressure feels real—but so does the reward.

Street photography is one of the most accessible, challenging, and rewarding styles of photography you can explore. You don’t need a studio. You don’t need elaborate setups.

Macro photography opens up a completely different world. It’s where tiny details become massive subjects.

BY Joe Donoghue April 10, 2026 Community

More often than not, it’s a combination of intention, execution, and attention to detail that sets a great image apart from the rest. The recent ROM Wildlife Photo Contest showcased exactly that. We’re thrilled to celebrate the winners from across Ontario and the incredible level of talent submitted. From striking wildlife encounters to thoughtful compositions, this year’s contest was a reminder of just how powerful photography can be […]

Start Here: Moving to Mirrorless — What to Do with Your Lenses

BY Joe Donoghue March 27, 2026 Lenses, Start Here

Most photographers find themselves in a similar position when moving to mirrorless. After years of building a kit around a DSLR system, the camera body may change, but the lenses — often trusted, familiar, and still capable — remain. With modern mirrorless cameras offering significant advancements in autofocus, image quality, and video performance, the question becomes less about whether to upgrade, and more about how to adapt. Should existing lenses be carried forward with an adapter, or is it time to invest in glass designed specifically for mirrorless systems? Start […]

Costa Rica Travel has been on my photography list for years — a place where every corner is alive, every landscape feels like it’s breathing, and the wildlife looks like it was designed for a nature documentary. This trip isn’t about overpacking or carrying a full studio on my back. It’s about shooting fast, light, and on the move while still getting professional-level results.

BY Joe Donoghue September 26, 2025 Autumn
