  In the world of photography, there has always been a fierce competition between camera manufacturers to produce the best and most innovative cameras. One of the most popular brands in the industry is Canon, and their 5D Mark II camera has been a favorite among photographers for over a decade. However, with the rise of mirrorless cameras, such as the Nikon Z5, many are wondering if the 5D Mark II is still usable.

This fundamental difference between the two cameras has a significant impact on their respective strengths and weaknesses. [...

Last week, I visited Yeouido Park in Seoul, South Korea to capture the beauty of spring through my Nikon Z5 camera. The park was filled with the soft pinks, purples, and whites of the blooming plum blossoms and azaleas, signaling the arrival of spring in Korea. As I walked along the paths of the park, I was enchanted by the gentle beauty of the plum blossoms.
