In what is quickly becoming a bi-annual tradition, the PetaPixel Podcast team welcomes Camera Labs’ Gordon Laing back onto the pod to play proctor! It’s time for the midterms: how is every camera maker doing so far in 2025? Well, that is, if they decided to show up and take the test.
To celebrate the summer, DxO is offering a great deal for the PetaPixel Podcast listeners. You can get 25% off any DxO software, including Nik Collection 8, by using the code JULY25 at checkout. This is a limited-time offer for new customers, valid until July 6th, so, if you want to unlock some serious creative potential, head over to dxo.com and check out Nik Collection 8. Use code JULY25 to save 25%!
Once again, the team provides their grades, from A through F (except in one case where Chris gives an “L”) to each major camera maker (and some lens makers) and provide their reasons for each. While you’ll have to listen to the podcast to get their explanations, below are all of the mid-term grades from Chris, Jordan, Gordon, and myself. The four of us will be back in November to give our final 2025 grades, but many of these brands are already poised to take high marks regardless of how they finish out the year. Others… have some work to do.
