Leica SL Review

Introduction The Leica SL is a high end 24MP full-frame mirrorless camera that has an astonishing ‘EyeRes’ high-resolution viewfinder, an incredibly high level of build quality and weather sealing, and unconventional though effective controls. Perhaps most significantly, this is the first non-rangefinder style 35mm full-frame digital camera Leica has made, and the company’s first full frame […]

Nikon D5600 review: making connectivity a snap?

The D5600 is the company’s mid-range DSLR and it’s the smallest and best-connected, yet. Nikon has been on something of a roll, making solid DSLRs with good ergonomics, dependable metering, some of the best image sensors, often very good (often industry-leading) autofocus and a JPEG engine that gives results that lots of people like. However, falling […]

Hasselblad X1D-50c First Impressions Review

The Hasselblad X1D-50c is a 50MP mirrorless medium format camera and is an important product for the storied Swedish company. Hasselblad is a company with a long history of making high-end cameras. Its boxy 6 x 6 format cameras (latterly dubbed the ‘V’ series) were beloved of generations of photographers and perhaps reached their apogee […]

Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 Review

The Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 is the fifth in the company’s industry-changing video and stills ‘hybrid’ lineup. With its 20MP Four Thirds sensor and deep video-centric feature set, it looks likely to pick up where the GH4 left off as a favorite of indie filmmakers and photographers whose interests venture into the realm of motion picture work. […]

Canon EOS 77D Review

Introduction The Canon EOS 77D (9000D in Japan) is a lightweight 24MP APS-C DSLR that offers impressive Dual Pixel Autofocus, good external controls and WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. It slots between the Rebel T7i and EOS 80D, and can be thought of as the successor to the Rebel T6s; if the name doesn’t make that obvious, the specifications […]

Canon EOS Rebel T7i / 800D review

The Canon EOS Rebel T7i / 800D is the latest incarnation of Canon’s hugely popular mass-market range of DSLRs. This latest model is built around a 24MP sensor that uses Canon’s Dual Pixel AF system to offer improved autofocus in live view and video (more on that later). At its core, it shares a lot […]

2017 Roundup: Interchangeable Lens Cameras $500-900

The $500-900 category (based roughly on US MSRP) features quite a few strong offerings, some of which should satisfy first-time camera buyers with easy-to-use interfaces and point-and-shoot style functionality. Others are aimed more at seasoned-enthusiasts, offering direct manual controls and high-end features. At this price point, all of the cameras use either Four Thirds or […]

2017 Roundup: Interchangeable Lens Cameras around $500

Entry-level interchangeable lens cameras have never been so affordable or more capable. There are plenty of choices around the $500 mark that will take better pictures than most cameras ever made. They don’t always have the very latest sensors or the premium build quality of their more expensive midrange siblings – and their controls tend […]

Canon EOS M6 Review

The Canon EOS M6 is a compact 24MP APS-C mirrorless digital camera with twin dial controls and a touch screen interface. Starting at $779 for the body, it takes the guts of the EVF-equipped EOS M5 and puts them in an updated version of the M3 body. It sits in Canon’s M lineup between the […]

2017 Roundup: Consumer Long Zoom Compacts

Bridge and travel zoom cameras are two of the very few categories of compact cameras to survive the smartphone. Whether it’s a travel zoom, which puts a 25X-30X zoom into your pocket, or a bridge camera which offers even more zoom, phones just can’t compete. While there are now enthusiast-level long zoom cameras with 1″-type […]
