8 March, 2014 – Phase One’s Future

10 Mar

On February 18, 2014 Silverfleet Capital announced their plans to invest in Phase One.  As happens in the photography industry this announcement sent the rumor mills into high gear.  Loyal Phase One customers were worried that Phase One may be following the path of its competitor which is now run by a VC firm.  Talk of changes and layoffs also were making the rounds.  So, we felt what better way to get the right story than to go to the source.  Kevin Raber caught up with Henrik Håkonsson CEO of Phase One, in Las Vegas last week at the WPPI show and had a chat with him on what this new investor means for Phase One.

4 March, 2014 – Fuji X-T1 Further Thoughts

04 Mar

 

The FujiFilm X-T1 is a handsome mirrorless camera in a small DSLR-like body. It offers a complete array of manual controls. But, this retro-style approach does not always work for my type of photography due to a couple of failings that limit the camera’s usability. Read Michael Reichmann’s Further Thoughts on the X-T1.

25 February, 2013 – Nobody Knows Anything

25 Feb

A common phrase in the motion picture industry is “Nobody knows anything……", meaning that what it takes to produce a hit movie is not always obvious. The same is true in the camera business when it comes to releasing new cameras. A new article by Michael Reichmann explores who does and who doesn’t get it.
