Carl Zeiss today uploaded a number of sample photos captured with its new Batis line of full frame lenses for Sony's FE mount. Of the 7 images taken with the 85mm f/1.8 and the 4 with the 25mm f/2, one in particular is causing quite a bit of discussion among Sony shooters.
Apple made quite a splash last year when it announced its new iMac with a 5K display, but something much bigger could be on the horizon. A page on the LG website briefly referred to an 'iMac 8K' announcement by Apple -- one that hasn't happened yet.
The rumor mill is saying with relative certainty that Canon is planning to …
Update: Oops. It turns out the camera was already named and shown by Canon last month. Please see the update below.
CES 2015 came and went, and there is still no mention of the large-sensor, large-lens PowerShot camera that Canon started teasing late last year. However, a new photo put up on Canon Netherlands' PowerShot page appears to show a camera that doesn't officially exist yet -- could this be a first glimpse of the upcoming PowerShot for pros?
Earlier this month, a leaked product page revealed a number of features that will be found in the upcoming Lightroom 6. One of them was an HDR merging tool that combines multiple exposures into a single HDR image. Here's a first glimpse at how the feature will work.
Lightroom 6 is coming soon, and a leaked product listing is giving us a good idea of what we can expect in the latest version of Adobe's popular tool for photographers.
Update: We have removed the photos after receiving a takedown request from the photographer.
Less than a week after an unretouched photo of Cindy Crawford leaked onto the Web, a set of untouched photos from an ad shoot featuring Beyonce has emerged as well. Just like with the Crawford photo, the new images are causing quite a discussion online about the role Photoshop has in creating perfection for advertisements.
An unretouched photograph of Cindy Crawford has leaked onto the Web, causing a fresh new wave of discussion and debate about Photoshop and what women's bodies really look like.
A newly leaked document by the Federal Aviation Administration may offer a first look at upcoming regulations for drones, and the laws discussed appear to be somewhat favorable for photographers who fly camera drones.
Rumors say we will be seeing a special version of the Nikon D810 for astrophotographers announced sometime this week. Those rumors appear to have been confirmed by a French website that accidentally published a news article about the camera early before pulling it offline.
Canon's soon-to-be-announced entry-level DSLR cameras have leaked onto the Web a couple of days before their official announcement. New photos and specs offer a first glimpse at the Canon 760D and 750D.

Another photo of the soon-to-be-announced Canon 11-24mm lens has leaked onto the Internet. This lens was first outed back in September 2014 when a different photo popped up briefly online before being taken down.
It looks like the rumors were spot on. A sneak peek of the not-yet-announced Canon 5Ds full frame DSLR camera has leaked onto the Web. The photograph above shows what the high-resolution 50.6MP camera will look like.
Here's the first leaked photo of the upcoming Panasonic GF7, the followup to the GF6. As you can see, the company is going after a much more "retro" look with this camera line (as is popular in the industry right now).
The camera is rumored to have a 16-megapixel Four Thirds sensor, an ISO range of 200 to 25600, and a 1.04-million-dot tilting LCD screen that swings open 180 degrees.
Samsung is rumored to have a new NX500 mirrorless camera up its sleeve. We now have a better idea of what the camera will look and be like thanks to a newly leaked graphic.

Fuji has generated a great deal of customer loyalty and satisfaction with its "Kaizen" ("change good") policy of frequent and significant firmware updates that beef up existing cameras with exciting new features. Nikon may soon follow suit.
An apparently leaked press release suggests that Nikon will soon be launching a new program that gives Nikon DSLR owners the ability to download "advanced firmware updates" that add "new functionality" to their cameras.
Do you recognize the DSLR seen in the photograph above? Reader Florian Feuchtner spotted the camera in a Connect Station product photo posted to Canon Austria's Facebook page yesterday. What's strange is that the design doesn't seem to match the backsides of any current Canon DSLR.
The first leaked photographs have emerged showing the Nikon D5500 DSLR and two new lenses: the 300mm f/4 and the 55-200mm f/4-5.6.
If you thought that 41-megapixel camera in the Lumia 1020 was a bit... excessive... then you're probably going to find the newest rumors about the 1020 followup a bit crazy. Apparently Microsoft intends to pack even more megapixels onto the next camera's sensor, making it far and away the highest resolution camera phone in the world.
We weren't kidding when we said the Sony rumor mill was roiling. Hours after more details surfaced about Sony's upcoming 'pro' FF E-Mount camera (possibly called the a9), an intriguing list of specs for a Sony a7 replacement appeared online.
And the best part? It's possible this a7 replacement will arrive officially within the next few days!
Not long ago an image of Canon’s upcoming 11–24mm f/4L lens leaked out for the world to see, but many thought it might be fake... possibly because they didn't want to get their hopes up. Today, however, hopes can soar, because it seems Canon Germany's website accidentally posted the lens, all-but-confirming that it does indeed exist.
Holy product leaks Batman! Info and photo leaks don't get much more comprehensive than this. In what they're actually titling the official introduction post, Canon Rumors has posted four higher res product shots of the Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM II alongside full specs, pricing, and a detailed description of the lens from top to bottom.
At this point, it would be a formality for Canon to even announce the darn thing. But if you want to save the surprise for the official announcement of this Unicorn lens, we don't suggest you read on.
The rumor mill is abuzz with speculation, but we have the first full scoop on the GoPro HERO4.
As many have reported, the two big features that are appearing are 4K video recording at 30FPS and a built-in touch display.
Two weeks ago we told you that HTC was reportedly working on an action cam. Today, those reports were further cemented by a a teaser website, a teaser video that hints at an October 8th release, and leaked images of the purported device that have popped up online.
Samsung will reportedly be announcing a new NX mirrorless camera tomorrow at Photokina, but photos and specs have already made their way onto the Web. The Samsung NX1 is set to become the company's new top-of-the-line mirrorless model.
More photographs of the Canon 7D Mark II have emerged just days ahead of its official announcement. Unlike the previously leaked photograph of the front side (shown above), these new views show that there will indeed be some physical differences between the upcoming camera and its predecessor, the Canon 7D.
The Canon 7D Mark II wasn't the only upcoming Canon product to be leaked today before its official announcement: we're getting glimpses of three new lenses as well. Here are the first published images of upcoming Canon 24mm, 24-105mm, and 400mm lenses.
You get a leak! And you get a leak! Everybody gets a leak!
It looks like somebody (or a few people) in the know at Sony were feeling very generous this morning because we woke up to not one, but two separate sources of leaked photos showing a very exciting new product from Sony: the next QX, smartphone-mounted 'lens camera.'
And it's exciting because, in this case, the term 'lens camera' doesn't really work anymore. This isn't a whole camera contained in a lens... it's more of a smartphone-attachable E-Mount that will let you swap out lenses!
It seems the major rumor sites were duped about the upcoming Canon 7D replacement. According to a new Canon Rumors report published last night, previously reported specs for the Mark II were incorrect. Fortunately, it seems they've gotten their hands on some new specs that they're "90% confident" are accurate this time around.
Okay, maybe leaked is a misnomer here -- some publications have even come out and said they believe Sony (and others) are leaking stuff on purpose -- but regardless, we just got our first peek at the followup to Sony's a5000 mirrorless camera courtesy of Digicaminfo.
And what's more, that first peek comes with a full list of specs. If you're the type that likes to keep some things a mystery, we suggest you don't read on.
In a move some will inevitably say was planned by Nikon, but which certainly looks a lot more like a mistake from our end, UK tech website Expertreviews has published (and quickly removed) their entire Nikon D810 review ahead of the official announcement, which is expected late tonight.
The GoPro Hero3+ might be the king of action cams by some people's estimation, but that doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement. To that end, some Hero4 specs as well as a release date (range) have appeared on a small website called DGISE, and the specs at least seem to track with previous rumors.
Well that was quick... only seven months after the E-Mount a3000 made its debut, it looks like Sony already has a followup ready to release. And thank to sonyalpharumors we get to look at a few product shots of the camera and what looks to be a full official list of specs.
The DSLR megapixel war has slowed down dramatically over the past few years as companies focus on low-light capabilities and other components of the cameras. But it looks like someone forgot to tell the smartphone market.
In about a month's time we might have a new contender for world's thinnest interchangeable lens camera. Leaked images and specs from earlier today indicate that Samsung is working on a new camera dubbed the NX mini, and this cam is going to be tiny indeed.
If rumors are true, Sony's a6000 -- the replacement for the NEX-6 and 7 cameras -- will arrive tonight around 11pm Easter Standard Time. Of course, that didn't stop the rumor mill from getting some info ahead of time, so if you want to see some specs and a few pictures, read on. Otherwise check back later tonight.
Rumors, leaks, and sneak peaks dominate headlines in photo gear news. More often than not, the appearance, specs and even price of a new piece of gear (this applies particularly to cameras) is known well before its manufacturer announces it themselves -- a fact that should come as no surprise to frequent PetaPixel readers.
