There’s a lot to like about this lens. It can be used in a wide variety of situations and produces sharp results with attractive bokeh.
Some people will absolutely love it, despite [...] serious failings.
Inevitably, it also lacks certain features that a few people will genuinely need, such as open-gate video recording. But nothing can take away from the fact that it’s just really, really good.
For those seeking something they can easily carry in their pocket that will give them more advanced controls and better results than a smartphone, the G7 X Mark III is a serious contender.
The Lomo MC-A is a stylish, metal-bodied gem. Despite the cramped viewfinder it’s still a worthwhile purchase that offers proper manual controls and solid optics.
The optical quality of the glass will take many by surprise, and the long zoom will definitely help you capture images that were previously out of reach. As a result, the 200-800mm is likely to appeal to both upper-end enthusiasts and semi-professional users.
The sensor and LCD screen sizes might seem positively prehistoric these days, but in its day the E-1 was a ground breaker, and even today it is unexpectedly enjoyable to use.
The DJI Mini 5 Pro is a genuine leap forward for ultralight drones. It offers the kind of imaging power, intelligent automation and safety features that were once reserved for much heavier, more expensive models.
It includes all the same features as the entry-level X-M5 and places them into an SLR-styled body that’s very similar to the previous X-T30 II, but now with a film dial on top.
Sony has done a great job with the FE 100mm F2.8 Macro GM OSS. It builds on the success of the FE 90mm Macro G OSS and adds several meaningful upgrades that macro enthusiasts will appreciate.
In fact, being able to reach 2.8x magnification while maintaining good image quality makes it one of the most adaptable macro lenses I’ve used.
Astonishing value with 6K60p RAW video, superb autofocus and class-leading screen, designed with a gimbal friendly body.
It employs a near-identical body design to its predecessor, the Mark II from 2023, but gains a new, higher-resolution 32.5MP sensor, rather than 24MP.
A cheap, pocketable, and easy to use digicam. Yes, images are snapshot quality, but at this price point, most users wanting to switch things up from a phone will be content.
The Fujifilm X-T50 is a very attractive camera indeed. [...] The [...] X-T50 is another winner.
It feels like yesterday that Nikon entered the full-frame mirrorless market with the Z6 and Z7, but it is over six years ago.
In many ways, the Leica M EV1 is a more practical camera than the M11 rangefinder that it’s derived from. But without an optical viewfinder, a little of the M mystique is lost along the way.
It’s great to see Leica trying to revive the enthusiast zoom compact camera with the D-Lux 8.
It’s hard to admit, but it’s a lens that will cover everything, and without much compromise. In fact it’s so good it was even able to convert me, a long term superzoom sceptic.
The Canon RF 85mm F1.4L VCM is an excellent addition to the RF lens line-up, offering a strong blend of features for both photographers and videographers.
In some ways this new model is significantly modern, while in others it might leave potential users wondering what Hasselblad was thinking when the engineers decided what to include and what to leave out.
This means it promises stunning image quality to match any full-frame camera in a body that, if exactly not pocketable, will certainly fit into a small bag. It’s not hard to see where the attraction lies – indeed on paper, it looks like one of the best Sony cameras.
This is a camera that’s a realistic option both for demanding professionals and even some committed enthusiasts.
