The Canon EOS R5 Will Cost ‘Under $4,000’: Report

One of the last bits of information that Canon has withheld about the thrice-teased EOS R5 is the price. Will it cost upwards of six grand, like this (likely unreliable) rumor claimed, or will it come in closer to the price of the 5D Mark IV at launch ($3,500). Fortunately, it will be the latter.

Sony Will Unveil a New Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera in June: Report

The Sony a7S III has been anticipated for so long that it's become a myth in and of itself. It's the unicorn camera. A symbol for infinite delay and a victim of impossibly high expectations. But if the latest round of reports from "trusted sources" are to be believed, it's finally almost here.

A Tale of Two 24-70s: Nikon Z-Mount vs F-Mount Lens Comparison

First, a little backstory. For much of my young career, I shot Canon. Be it the 1D, 1D2, 1DS, 1D3, 1DS2 and 1DS3, let’s just say I had a thing for the ergonomics of that chassis.

Mirrorless 24-70mm Shootout: Which Lens Wins in Sharpness vs Expense?

It took a little while, but we finally have the "desert island" 24-70mm f/2.8 lens for every major full-frame mirrorless system on the market, with some lovely crossover as well thanks to the L-Mount Alliance and Sigma's continued support of E-mount.
