Bokeh Face: Nikon drops out of 'Big Three' in Japan! Who joins Canon and Sony?
Data from Japan puts Nikon out of the ‘Big Three’. Plus, two new Sigma lenses, and buying a camera from overseas: Is it ever really worth it?
The new episode of Bokeh Face: The Digital Camera World podcast is now live on our YouTube channel and available to stream from Spotify, Apple Podcasts and all your favorite podcast services.
New episodes of Bokeh Face are released bi-weekly, every other Friday, so our next episode will be released on October 02.
DCW's Content Director, Chris George, joins me, James Artaius, DCW Editor in Chief, for our usual format where we discuss a burning issue in the world of imaging, dive into the kit bag to examine what we've been shooting with lately, and then troubleshoot a technical or creative camera issue.
You can watch the episode in full below:
In this episode, we Gear Up with a pair of tasty new Sigma lenses, including an impressive ‘world first’ *for Sigma* via the company’s smallest-ever zoom lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras.
In Focus, we discuss Nikon’s fall from the ‘Big Three’ camera manufacturers (according to data from Japan). The question is: Who has joined Canon and Sony's exclusive club?
And in Trouble Shooting, we weigh up the risks and rewards of buying a camera from overseas. Is it ever worth it? What can go wrong? And when all is said and done, are you really getting that big of a bargain?
We'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback on the show, along with any questions or troubleshooting queries you might have, so please get in touch with us at bokehface@futurenet.com. We hope you enjoy the episode!
