I have to say, I wasn’t a huge fan of the original Sigma fp or its high-resolution sibling, the fp L. [...] But now the Sigma FP2 fixes a lot of this, thanks to its faster partially-stacked sensor and tilting screen.

In fact, it gains some very significant additions, which promise to make it the best Canon camera yet for those buying into full-frame for the first time.
If you’re in the market for a supertelephoto lens for your Sony camera, then this is a fantastic option.
The Sony FE 600mm F6.3 GM OSS is a superb ultra-telephoto prime that combines stunning image quality with unprecedented portability. It costs more than a similar-spec zoom, but it’s much lighter.
At this price point there is no other mirrorless camera that offers in-body image stabilisation. Similarly, at this price, there is no other mirrorless camera that offers weather-sealing.
It’s small and easy to carry, focuses quickly and accurately, and delivers very respectable image quality.
The Sigma 85mm F1.2 DG | Art delivers stunning image quality at a sensible size and price. It’s quite heavy, and demands impeccable technique at f/1.2, but portrait photographers will love it.
If you’re in the former camp and want a really good one – this is a great example of the genre.
With in-body stabilisation, familiar controls and a competitive price, the Canon EOS R6 V is an excellent choice for photographers moving into video. But the screen isn’t great and there’s no EVF.
Fisheye lenses are often primes, meaning that you only get one focal length. Having a fisheye zoom means you can either go for a full circular image, or an image that covers the whole frame in one lens.
Crucially, the optical performance is very impressive. The lens produces sharp results at all apertures, including towards the corners, while distortion, chromatic aberration and flare are controlled very well.
Delivers excellent image quality and fast autofocus. The lightweight design makes it a versatile, great-value ultra-wide zoom for travel, landscapes and everyday use.
This is a lens that proves that you can create an f/1.2 lens and not have it cost an absolute fortune. A bit of a marketing gimmick, sure, but if f/1.2 is what you really, really want, then it’s worth contemplating buying.
This is Panasonic’s new 40mm f/2 prime lens for L-mount cameras, and perhaps the perfect combination for use with the smaller Lumix S9 cameras, as well as other Panasonic cameras, if you’re looking to make your camera setup smaller.
The Osmo Pocket 4P’s additional camera makes it more versatile and practical to use than its predecessors.
Being deliciously simple to use, the Instax Mini 13 is a good way for anyone who wants to experiment with analogue, have a little nostalgia in their lives and/or have fun at parties and so on to get started with.
The DJI Lito X1 is an excellent first drone, but it has enough features and imaging capability to keep users happy once they have mastered the basics.
The Leica M11 Monochrom is a specialist camera that is not for everyone. It’s obvious limitation – that it only records in black and white – will delight some and make no sense to others.
The Xiaomi 17T Pro is an impressive mid-range handset, and a very good choice for photographers who don’t want to pay the extra for a flagship Android phone.
I’ve never been moved to actually buy a dedicated macro lens, but the Tamron 90mm F/2.8 Di III Macro VXD is well placed to change that. It has impressive sharpness with very few optical flaws, handles nicely, focuses quickly and is significantly cheaper than its competitors.
With its particular balance of features, the SL3-P becomes the most versatile model within the current SL range, and therefore arguably makes the most sense to the widest audience.
With its 35-100mm f/2.8, Tamron has created a brilliant portrait and documentary tool. The lens covers all the most common portrait focal lengths in a single, fast zoom, and does so very well.
The Panasonic Lumix L10 can stake a realistic claim to being the best zoom compact camera yet made for enthusiast photographers. You get a versatile, large-aperture, optically-stabilised lens, coupled with a very decent sensor.
The new design might be rather unoriginal, but the build of the OPPO Find X9 Pro is still superb. At a much lower price than the main competition, it offers great value overall and specifically for photography.
