DCW's How-To Ed, Mike Harris, 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.

Watch On

First, we Gear Up with one of the strangest cheap cameras we’ve ever seen: the Godox C100. This compact camera/light meter is cheap as chips and features a huge optical viewfinder.

In Focus we take a retrospective look at the flawed but forward-thinking Nikon 1 System and pose the question: Would things be any different if these compact interchangeable-lens cameras were released today?

In Trouble Shooting, James and Mike are put on the spot with a question about dual- and triple-base ISO. What is it? When would you use it? And is it essential?

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!
