One of the busiest seasons as we prepare for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas!

Lots of people are dusting off their cameras or using cellphones to capture family moments.

We just had The Photography Show & The Video Show online from September 17th to 20th 2022. The next one will be March 16th to 19th 2024

Stacked Sensors:

Camera's with Stacked Sensors have come to Photography in 2022. This is a huge innovation to the digital camera world. This Stacked CMOS sensors technology which enables ultra-fast readout times is one of the most important innovations in the imaging sensor world and being implemented in more camera models these days.

These ultra-fast readout speeds stacked sensor technology makes it possible to increase the max shooting speed and minimize the rolling shutter effects. Another advantage that was made possible by the stacked sensor is the 'no blackout' or 'blackout free' viewfinders.

At the moment there are 7 cameras that utilizes the Stacked CMOS sensor, five of them have full-frame sensors, one is Micro Four Thirds (OM System OM-1) and the last one, Fujifilm X-H2S has an APS-C sized sensor.

IBIS:

Minolta was the first camera manufacturer to introduce "in-body image-stabilization" to their DSLR line in 2004. Followed by Pentax introduced IBIS into their DSLR line in 2006. Olympus introduced IBIS into their DSLR line in 2007. Panasonic first added IBIS to their system in 2013. Sony’s first use of IBIS in a mirrorless was in the A7II in 2014, and the first for a full-frame/35mm-sized sensor. Fujifilm held out until 2018. Nikon first used IBIS in a system in 2018 and Cannon was last to the party with the Canon EOS R5 in 2020.

IBIS "in-body image-stabilization" a relatively new technology within cameras that aims to stabilize your sensor to provide both stable, shake-free video footage and sharp still images when shooting handheld at longer shutter speeds.

I found this great article by Nasim Mansurov on Lens Stabilization vs In-camera Stabilization.

The History of Photography:

Photography is moving faster than a speeding bullet these days. New cameras and technologies are coming out at a record pace. We cannot understand the future of photography without respecting the past. I found this great article by Hannah Rooke that chronicles the history of photography.

The French inventor and photographer Joseph Nicéphore Niépce created the world's first permanent photo, in 1826 which still survives today. It was made using a camera obscura and a pewter plate covered in light-sensitive bitumen, dissolved in lavender oil. It's said that the exposure took several days to complete, and it had to be lit in a very particular way to see the image. It was this process that led to a collaboration with Louis Daguerre to develop the Daguerreotype process.

This is widely known as the first permanent photograph ever taken (Image credit: Getty Images)

My uncle was a photography historian, my father was a music historian, and I am a historian for both these art forms. I also am fascinated by the history of spots and show business. Until you understand where you have come from, you cannot understand where you are going.
