    Talking shit about cameras is best done over drinks.

    PetaPixel’s Chris Niccolls and Jordan Drake are once again recapping the year’s best and worst cameras over made-up drinking games. This is my favorite annual camera nerd tradition, and it’s now running 10 years (and three YouTube channels).

    No spoilers, but I’m here to say the Nikon Zf was shunned — and after 10 years Chris’s excellent hair is aging better than his alcohol tolerance.

    Nope, I’m just not ready for microtransactions for my camera.

    Sony has an upcoming gridline tool for its Alpha cameras that seems helpful for commercial photographers. But unlike free firmware updates, this one will cost $149 when it launches in March — just to add four custom grid overlays to their cameras.

    It seems nifty for pros doing school pictures, but dang, I don’t look forward to more paywalled camera features that squeeze pros.
