The Sigma FP2 is a tiny full-frame modular body aimed at pro videographers and becomes a tempting option for those who value a small modular body with plenty of rigging options within the L-mount system. It looks and feels solid, operates confidently and delivers great results.
The instax Pal 2 is a compact, fun camera designed to take everywhere and capture and share spontaneous moments.
The Tamron 12-20mm f2.8 is a fully featured ultra-wide-angle zoom lens with a constant bright aperture in a compact, lightweight design.
In my view the Lumix L10 becomes the best premium compact camera if you’re shooting both stills and video.
The OM System PEN is a good-looking and fairly affordable rangefinder-styled camera for those wanting to take their photography beyond a phone or as an everyday companion to a larger model.
I think Canon’s done a good job at equipping the R8 II with the extra features most people desire without the greater heft and complications of higher-end bodies.
Here's a camera that may not have prolevel video or autofocus, but which looks good, has a viewfinder, is dust and splash resistant, and has some of the best stabilization around. That's a combination that's not only tempting, but rare at this price point.
The Sigma 85mm F1.2 DG DN becomes one of the best short telephoto prime lenses for Sony or L-mount owners, matching or even outperforming rivals that cost much more. Optically, it's as good as any 85 1.2 that I've tested, including those costing double the price.
But ultimately, if you want this kind of range from a new all-in-one camera with performance that can genuinely handle sports, wildlife, and action, there is currently nothing to rival the Sony RX10 V.
Nikon's small and very light Z 24-105mm f4-7.1 offers good to very good optical properties and covers a versatile range from wide angle to moderate telephoto with its 4.4x zoom.
From the handling to the final output, it's a refreshingly different and enjoyable pure photography experience, and one that I feel justifies its price against increasingly sophisticated full-frame cameras.
[T]he Panasonic Lumix S 40mm f/2 punches above its weight for a lens this size, weight, and price, and it becomes my favorite general-purpose prime lens for the L-mount system.
The Z 70-200mm f2.8 VR S II delivers very sharp images across the frame with a slight softening at 200mm, and has a slightly improved bokeh, minimal color aberrations, and strong flare resistance.
The Lumix TZ300 marks the welcome return of Panasonic’s enormously popular travel zoom series of compacts, packing a long zoom range and large sensor into a pocket-sized body.
In my early tests it’s certainly very sharp across the frame, although like most modern wide-angles employs a software profile to correct the barrel distortion.
The Canon RF 7-14mm Fisheye may be an unapologetically specialist lens but remains a welcome addition to the EOS R lens catalogue, delivering both diagonal and fully circular Fisheye images on full-frame systems.
In my test, the optical quality was also improved over the older 16 mil, although it still benefits from stopping down for the sharpest results in the corners.
The Canon 7-14mm f/2.8-3.5L STM fisheye zoom may be an unapologetically specialist lens, but remains a welcome addition to the EOS R lens catalog, delivering both diagonal and fully circular fisheye images on full-frame systems.
The Instax mini EVO Cinema may be Fujifilm’s most expensive instant camera to date, but becomes their most desirable too.
The major upgrade over its predecessor is a higher resolution sensor, roughly matching the photo resolution of Sony’s A7 IV and V while supporting higher resolution video than both Sonys or the R6 II.
[W]hile the Mark III isn't groundbreaking, it remains an attractive and enjoyable camera to use and crucially meets a more affordable price point than many recent releases.
The Leica M EV1 essentially gives you an M11 with a built-in electronic viewfinder.
Tamron equipped their new 16-30mm f2.8 Di III G2 with an improved zoom-range, made the focus drive very fast, and added a focus set button plus USB-C port.
The FE 100 f2.8 A macro GM becomes not only Sony's best macro lens to date, but the best macro lens that I've personally tested on any system.
