The Vivo X100 Pro has shot almost all of my B-Roll and outdoor footage this year. It’s a monster camera system, and it’s dramatically sped up my video production. It’s one of the absolute best mobile photography options available today, and it embarrasses similarly priced options from Apple and Samsung.
While I love this camera system, there’s one MAJOR issue that is SUPER frustrating to work around… Continue reading “Vivo X100 Pro: A BIG Problem with my Favorite Phone Camera”
FIGHT FOR BLOOD!!!
There’s an interesting fixation on dedicated cameras which seems to exist at the bookends of photography.

I really didn’t want to spend money on an old point and shoot, but while cleaning out a box of old gear, I found my old Samsung Galaxy Camera. The battery had turned into a spicy pillow, but prying it out, I was able to track down a replacement and get the camera working again.

X100 Pro! It’s time for a showdown!
The X100 Pro TECHNICALLY launched in 2023, but it’s already shaping up to be one of the best phones of 2024! I did not have the same feels about the X90 Pro at this time last year.
This might be the closest I’ve come to awarding a one-year upgrade for a 2024 phone… Continue reading “Vivo X100 Pro vs X90 Pro: Worthy of a One-Year Upgrade?”

The X90 Pro long term review!
Revisiting a phone that I maybe did not pay enough attention to at the beginning of the year. Now that the Vivo X90 Pro is running Android 14 BETA 2, has my opinion changed? As new phones come out in the second half of 2023, this could be a MONSTER device to shop on a good sale…
