    5 companies make "Kodak" cameras • Instax Mini Evo Cinema • Travel lenses: is convenience worth compromise?
    Feb 20 2026
    Welcome to Bokeh Face! In this episode:We go In Focus on Kodak in 2026. How is it beating all the other camera companies, does it have better brand recognition than Canon and Nikon, will we get another mirrorless Kodak system and how come there are five companies making "Kodak" cameras?Then we Gear Up with perhaps the nuttiest camera Fujifilm has ever made, the Instax Mini Evo Cinema. Are Eras the new Film Simulations for video, will we see them come to X and GFX cameras, how does Taylor Swift fit in, does a camcorder need to print photos / does an instant camera need to shoot video, and how does this camera compare to the Camp Snap CS-8?And closing the show with Trouble Shooting, we discuss superzooms and travel lenses. Are these all-in-one optics really worth it, or does the convenience merit the compromise in terms of optical quality? How good can an 18-400mm lens really be? ⏰ TIMESTAMPS ⏰0:00 Kodak has made some terrible formats!1:33 Kodak is back in a big way2:05 In America, Kodak WAS photography – but then it disappeared3:33 Not a Kodak history lesson, but… here's a Kodak history lesson 6:28 Kodak had 2025's best selling compact camera9:33 Transition film to digital, cameras to phones, back to cheap cameras11:54 Will Kodak make another mirrorless interchangeable lens system? 12:43 How much equity is in the name?

    Canon R6 III vs Nikon Z6 III vs Sony A7 V • Why are DSLR lens sales rising? • Where do you start with video?
    Feb 6 2026

    Welcome to this week's Bokeh Face podcast!


    We take an In Focus look at the fact that DSLRs are apparently dead – so why are DSLR lens sales increasing? There are many reasons – one of them being the ways that Canon and Nikon are locking down their mirrorless mounts…


    We Gear Up with the Canon EOS R6 Mark III, a pro-caliber camera that detonates the old definition of 6-series bodies. We compare it to the Sony A7 V and Nikon Z6 III, and ask whether the market for midrange cameras actually exists any more.


    And in Trouble Shooting, we help the would-be hybrid shooters who ask us where to start with video. It's arguably harder to learn videography when you come from a photo background, so we give you a crash course in the basics!


    ⏰ TIMESTAMPS ⏰

    0:00 What the heck is a partially stacked sensor?

    1:09 DSLRs are dead… so why are DSLR lens sales on the rise?

    3:09 (Actually, DSLRs are NOT dead)

    4:27 Price check: trinity mirrorless glass vs trinity DSLR glass

    6:39 Canon and Nikon's closed mirrorless mounts

    7:58 By restricting mirrorless, Canon has prolonged the life of DSLR lenses

    8:55 There are still significant lenses you can't buy for mirrorless

    10:27 Sigma says (some) DSLR lens sales going up

    15:15 Using DSLR lenses on mirrorless "upscales" their performance

    18:48 Meet the Canon EOS R6 Mark III

    19:30 Has flagship tech squeezed out midrange cameras?

    25:43 Canon won't like us saying this…

    26:38 Canon EOS R6 Mark III vs Nikon Z6 III

    31:01 Who has the best autofocus?

    34:16 Canon EOS R6 Mark III vs Sony A7 V

    38:48 Where should you start with video

    41:09 Just shoot in 1080p?

    43:48 Framerates, PAL vs NTSC, 25p vs 30p

    46:43 TLDR

    48:46 Don’t shoot RAW (unlike photography)

    50:07 Log and LUTs

    54:30 Sound is more important than video

  • 8K cameras: fool's gold? • Leica Q3 Monochrom • Does your memory card really matter?

    8K cameras: fool's gold? • Leica Q3 Monochrom • Does your memory card really matter?
    Jan 23 2026

    Welcome to the latest Bokeh Face podcast!


    In Focus this episode, James and Chris debate whether anyone truly needs an 8K camera. You don't need it today and it has a knock-on effect for your lenses, memory card, computer, storage, workflow… but is future-proofing your footage worth it?


    Then in our Gear Up segment, we play with Leica's Q3 Monochrom – a $7,800 camera that only shoots in black-and-white and can't change lenses. And yet, it might just be the best camera that anyone has ever made for street photography…


    And wrapping things up in our Trouble Shooting section, we discuss whether your memory card really matters. Can you just buy the cheap $10 one off Amazon, or should you invest in an expensive $200 card? Here's why there's more to memory cards than just the format.


    ⏰ TIMESTAMPS ⏰

    0:00 Will people be rewatching this podcast in 30 years?

    1:43 Do 8K cameras actually matter, or is it the megapixel race all over again?

    2:33 Canon brought 8K to the masses

    3:55 Like 100MP stills, 8K video might be most useful for cropping

    4:40 Your camera might resolve 8K, but what about your lens?

    5:27 8K future-proofs your footage…

    8:15 … but there's consequences to your lens, memory card, SSD, cloud and computer

    10:08 Panasonic was staunchly anti-8K until 2025

    11:34 Heat dissipation is a problem

    14:45 Investing in a camera today? Think 5, 10 years down the line

    17:49 Meet the Leica Q3 Monochrom

    18:46 Why would you buy a camera with a fixed lens that only shoots black-and-white?

    20:18 Some unsurprising cons

    22:40 Advantages of a black-and-white sensor

    24:45 Shooting at high sensitivities (with ISO200,000 sample images)

    26:36 Leica Q3 Monochrom specifications

    29:11 Content Credentials

    32:29 The growing trend for cameras that only shoot black-and-white

    34:28 Does your memory card matter?

    35:55 Should you buy that cheap card on Black Friday?

    37:58 Pros and cons of high-capacity cards

    39:19 SD cards just won’t go away – and for good reason

    40:47 SD vs CFexpress demonstration

    43:30 My camera’s got two different cards – does it matter which I use?

    44:39 Overheating also applies to memory cards

    50:53 Older cameras may not even support new card tech!
