This conversation is based on some recent events. Its time to have a conversation about credibility, investigative journalism and most importantly - sources. You can't state opinions and pass them as facts.

Camera companies have been struggling with sales since cell phones have pretty much replaced them in the consumer market. They are now struggling to sell products to a niche group of serious enthusiasts and professionals. This year we are seeing a hail mary from the likes of Nikon, Canon, Sony, Panasonic and Olympus - its a last ditch effort to tell us we need new cameras. But there's one thing they're all overlooking. Jaron and Ted break this down for you. Too bad we don't own a giant camera corporation.

This week Ted has been at the Panasonic press event in Austin, TX to get a hands-on with the new S1 and S1R, full frame mirrorless cameras. Jaron used them in Barcelona a few weeks ago. Join us to hear some thoughts on this new system and the direction of Panasonic in the mirrorless camera market. Music is from Epidemic Sound.

Why aren't cameras more expensive? Most people think they should be a lot less. We are in an age now where the photography industry is struggling to stay alive with too many cameras and too few buyers. The race has been on to give you more value for your money, but an interesting side effect has emerged. They all basically do variations of the same thing. Nothing is driving the industry forward. Sony and Panasonic have exceptions to this, but Jaron and Ted argue they should be driving this even harder.

Shooting on film… forces you to slow down. Makes you more creative. You think about your shots. But does that actually make you a better photographer? Maybe it does? Maybe it doesn't? There are interesting arguments on both sides. In this episode, Jaron and Ted discuss both. Music is from Epidemic Sound.

This video deals with the idea of photo sharing. As popular as it seems - Instagram has become a big source of frustration with their ever changing algorithm and one dimension of use (the stream). In the early 2000's, Flickr and 500px were the hubs for photography, but as they grew and sold to corporations they failed to retain the interest of their users and are no longer what they originally intended. So where does this leave us now? What are the options? The Influencer industry has grown, but in many ways is still the wild west. In today's show we'll talk about this…

How much does your camera really matter in making photographs? This is a controversial topic discussed before on the Art of Photography. In this podcast we will discuss where this importance lies. Music via Epidemic Sound Check them out here: https://goo.gl/v5wWKr
