Reviews

  • Fujifilm X-M5

    A lovely little camera capable of delivering some excellent results. If you like using a viewfinder, it’s not for you, but for hybrid shooters and smartphone upgraders, it’s a well-priced winner.

  • Fujifilm X-H2S

    It’s a sensational camera that offers remarkable performance in a smaller and more affordable package than its full-frame competitors.

  • Panasonic Lumix S 24-60mm f/2.8

    So it’s great that you can now get a nice f/2.8 zoom at a more affordable price. The Panasonic Lumix S 24-60mm F2.8 is a large-aperture standard zoom for use on the firm’s full-frame mirrorless cameras.

  • Sony FE 50-150mm f/2 GM

    I believe the lens will be worth the asking price for many pros shooting with Sony bodies, as it could mitigate the need for carrying a 70-200mm f/2.8 and several fast primes, such as a 50mm, 85mm and 135mm.

  • Canon EOS R8

    Quite simply, it delivers great images shot after shot. Rarely have I used a camera that I’ve enjoyed so little, yet which has impressed me so much with the pictures it produced!

  • Canon PowerShot V1

    The Canon PowerShot V1 is very capable as a high-end compact camera for video and vlogging. But its ultra-wideangle zoom limits its attraction for general-purpose photography.

  • OM System OM-5

    Of course, there are those that think “full-frame” is the be-all and end-all, but for people who value lightweight and travel rather than a sore back at the end of the day, then the OM-5 is worth its weight in gold.

  • Nikon Z5

    Far more advanced than its “entry level” billing – and still a capable, reliable full-frame camera of quality feel, decent specs, and ever-expanding range of good lenses. Fantastic at its price point.

  • DJI Mavic 3 Classic

    As much as I like the DJI Mavic 3, the DJI Mavic 3 Classic would be my pick of the two drones. I don’t really have a need for the 162mm camera and the 24mm camera does a great job for stills and video.

  • Fujifilm X100VI

    The X100VI is, without doubt, a gorgeous and highly desirable camera, and one that that remains up there with one of the most beautiful digital cameras ever made.

  • Sony a1 II

    If you’re looking for a high-resolution, professional camera, this body should definitely be considered. It’s immensely capable, and Sony’s ergonomic improvements make it far more comfortable for long shoots.

  • Panasonic DC-ZS99

    If you want a long-zoom compact that will fit in your pocket, then this is a great option. It’s a shame there’s no upgrade compared to its predecessor though.

  • Sigma 300-600mm f/4 DG OS Sports

    With its combination of zoom range and fast aperture, it actually presents very good value in comparison to the other lenses in this area, and if this is the kind of lens you need, it is a really compelling proposition.

  • Fujifilm X-T5

    Ultimately, nothing else on the market can quite match the all-round package that the Fujifilm X-T5 offers enthusiast photographers at the price. If you’re not tied down to an irrational fixation with 36x24mm, it’s pretty much perfect.

  • Sigma BF

    Ultimately, photography is a creative pursuit. Sometimes it’s fine to buy and use things just because they are pleasing and inspirational – not necessarily because they are technically the ‘best’.

  • Sony a7S III

    It doesn’t take long with the A7S III to be seriously impressed. Its 9.44m-dot viewfinder is incredible, and Sony’s new touch interface addressed one of our longest-running gripes.

  • Leica Q3 43

    Leica’s original 28mm Q3 was excellent, but the addition of a superb 43mm f/2 lens elevates the Leica Q3 43 even further. It’s a stunning camera that offers sensational image quality – at a price.

  • Nikon D780

    The D780 arrives a bit late for those who’ve already jumped ship to Nikon’s excellent Z-series, or other full-frame mirrorless system, but this doesn’t take anything away from what is a sensational camera that’s built to a professional standard and is a sheer delight to use.

  • Sony ZV-E10

    Based on price alone the ZV-E10 should prove a very popular camera. Its video credentials certainly surpass those of its chief rival at launch, the Canon EOS M50 Mark II – the go-to camera for most YouTubers.
