This week on the PetaPixel Podast, Chris Niccolls, Jordan Drake, and Jaron Schneider are here with a special episode as they took to the Photography Stage at the BILD Expo in New York City for a live recording! The trio discuss every camera brand's 2024 so far and what the new camera releases say about how they see the industry now and into the near future. Plus, they take questions from the audience including questions about their favorite cameras ever, what the future of HDR is, and the status of the "promised" PetaPixel BBQ sauce.
