If you’re after a hybrid camera focused towards video, especially high frame rate 4k, the Lumix GH6 becomes one of the most compelling models around.
The Nikon Z 28-75mm f2.8 is a valuable addition to Nikon's Z-Mount line-up, that’s wisely pitched between their entry-level Z 24-70mm f4 S kit zoom and the high-end Z 24-70mm f2.8 S.
The OM-1 proves there’s not just life left in the Micro Four Thirds format, but also for a brand we thought would never grace a new camera body again.
If you can stretch to the Sony, it’s worth spending the extra, but if your budget is tighter, the Sigma is more affordable while still delivering very respectable results.
So the Z 24-120mm f4 S is the perfect choice for those wanting more reach than the standard 24-70mm lens and value a constant f4.0 focal ratio.
The Mavic 3 is, undoubtedly, the best drone in its class.
As such the RF 100-400 is easy to recommend if you want long-reach from a native RF zoom without breaking the bank or your back.
A serious fault that Sigma hopefully can remedy. But other than that Sigma has designed a very compelling super-telephoto zoom which clearly earns a Highly Recommended - with the caveat that you need to find a good copy!
This makes the Nikon Z 40mm f2.0 an interesting proposition on Nikon's lens road-map and earns it a clear recommendation.
In terms of an all-rounder, the A7 IV becomes the one to beat [...]
The Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 DC DN is the zoom many cropped mirrorless cameras have been waiting for: the range may be fairly standard, but the constant f2.8 aperture, potential for shallow depth-of-field results, and corner sharpness are all a step-up over basic kit zooms [...]
The FE 70-200mm 2.8 G Master II improves on its five year old predecessor to become not just the best quality telephoto zoom for the Sony mirrorless system, but arguably the best overall on the market.
It continues this story, so the Canon EOS R3 is Canon's most powerful and impressive camera to date, exuding sheer confidence.
The Nikon Z MC 50mm f2.8 is a well-featured, small and light macro lens which also doubles up as a standard lens for other photographic applications.
Nikon's Z MC 105mm f2.8 VR S is a very good macro lens which also doubles up as a light telephoto. It produces very sharp images with almost no field-curvature or colour aberrations and can confidently be used wide open and in challenging contra-light situations.
The GFX 100S is Fujifilm’s most compelling digital medium format camera to date, taking the advances of the earlier 100 and squeezing them into a body that’s considerably more compact and less than two thirds the price.
Ultimately the Sony 14 1.8 will greatly appeal for traditional landscape, architecture and astro as well as low light and video work. Not only does it deliver the goods across the board, it’s considerably more portable than its only rival and roughly the same price too.
Only a year after the launch of the Air 2, the new Air 2S doesn’t just swap out the camera and make some tweaks to the software, which would have been enough to stay top of the pack in this size and weight category.
Ultimately the Alpha 1 is a jack of all trades and impressively a master of many of them all too, but you have to ask yourself if you really need a camera that does so much at such a high level.
The Sony 50mm f1.2 G Master becomes the best quality standard lens for the e-mount to date, delivering the razor-sharp details and smooth rendering we’ve come to recognise from Sony’s premium lens series.
[I]t makes a great way of transitioning into FPV in a way which isn’t too much of a culture shock for people with a background like me [...]
Sony's FE 90mm f2.8 Macro G OSS is a very good macro lens which also doubles up as a light tele-photo.
Ultimately the Sigma provides a compelling alternative to bigger, heavier and more expensive zooms while maintaining decent results, but compare closely to the similarly-specced Tamron 28-75mm f2.8.
