  • 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.

  • Fujifilm GFX100RF

    Yes, you have to pay a lot of money for the privilege of owning one, and yes, you have to accept some practical limitations. But the reward is phenomenal image quality in a remarkably portable package.

  • Sony a6400

    The Sony Alpha 6400 is without doubt the most Jekyll-and-Hyde of all the cameras I’ve reviewed recently. On the one hand, it’s impossible to praise its new autofocus technology highly enough – this really was a glimpse of the future.

    The Sony Alpha A9 III’s global-shutter sensor brings amazing speed and unique advantages for sports shooters. However, its image quality lags behind its peers, making it very much a niche product.

  • Xiaomi 13T Pro

    The Xiaomi 13T Pro is a really nice phone, with a triple camera system, it has a great main camera, a good 2x telephoto camera, and a good enough ultra-wide-angle camera, and it’s a definite improvement over last year’s 12T Pro.

  • Google Pixel 9a

    I’d certainly say that this is one of the best mid-range phones out there at the moment, and I’d probably recommend it to most, with some caveats.

  • Rollei 35AF

    In many ways, the Rollei 35AF is a nice recreation of classic Rollei 35 compacts from the 1960s and 1970s. It takes decent photos, too.

  • Vivo X100 Pro

    The Vivo X100 Pro is an incredible camera phone with a telephoto macro camera. It has changed my product photography, as I no longer need to bring a full-size camera with me to events.

    This is quite easily one of the best performing smartphones on the market for photography, with a one-inch sensor and four Leica Summilux lenses really setting it apart from its rivals.
