A world-beating camera phone the Z Fold 4 is not, but with its polished performance, S Pen support, powerful internals, and refined, durable styling, it's still the best foldable you can buy in the West.

The Avata is thoroughly confidence inspiring, both in design and experience.
The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K G2 is extraordinary value for money. There are plenty of mirrorless cameras that cost more than this and do a lot less from a filmmaker’s point of view.
The Xiaomi 12s Ultra is a landmark smartphone. Not only does it feature the very best camera we've ever used on a mobile, it also combines it with a compelling package.
This Yongnuo is entirely different, not only featuring autofocus but also boasting a customizable L-Fn (Lens function) button and customizable control ring. Its 85mm focal length and fast f/1.8 aperture make it ideal for portraiture and still life photography.
The levels of sharpness and contrast at f/1.2 are simply stunning. Wide-open sharpness is not only much better than in most competing f/1.2 lens, but it also edges ahead of many f/1.4 and f/1.8 lenses at their widest apertures.
The Google Pixel 6a is a very good phone that might rehash years-old camera hardware, but it updates the line's computational photography to keep things competitive. It also adds Pixel 6 and 6 Pro power, water resistance, a premium, playful design, and runs stock Android.
There’s a lot to love about this lens, which packs a wide f/1.4 aperture rating into a very compact and lightweight build.
Stretching from good wide-angle coverage to strong telephoto reach, and with the inclusion of Optical SteadyShot, this all-purpose lens works for a myriad of photo opportunities. Its handling, image quality and all-round performance make it a smart buy at the price.
At a glance, the Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM appears to offer most of the same advantages as its Canon and Nikon APS-C format f/2.8 counterparts, but at less than half the price.
Many will be disappointed that the GH5 II is not a bigger leap forward from the GH5. In reality, it’s probably not meant to be an upgrade, but a ‘refresh’ that keeps the GH5 concept fresh and competitive for new buyers. And it certainly does that.
At this price, including its kit lens, the Lumix S5 is the hybrid camera to beat. It offers stunning full-frame image quality, class-leading video performance and matches a camera that costs almost [...]

For DSLRs though, it delivers excellent all-round performance and image quality.
Having lost ground to Sigma and Tamron 100-400mm lightweight telephoto zooms, the Tamron SP 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di VC USD was the last man standing.
Ideal as a walkabout or travel lens, this standard zoom retracts to just 46mm in length for easy stowage and weighs a mere 130g.

Sony produced a fantastic camera with the RX1R II, making for excellent competition for its nearest rival, the Leica Q2.
If you’re looking for a dedicated point-and-shoot video camera that won’t break the bank, the Z30 offers arguably the best build quality in its price range and several video-centric bells and whistles that make capturing content a more enjoyable experience.
Sure it doesn’t have a super-fast aperture rating but the Nikon Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S ticks every other box on a photographer’s wish list for a super-tele prime.
A capable full-frame mirrorless camera at this price is hugely appealing for anyone looking to upgrade to a larger sensor, especially one that retains the size and weight advantages of the APS-C bodies they’re already using.

Designed for Sony’s APS-C format E-mount mirrorless cameras, this ultra-wide-angle prime lens feels a perfect fit, thanks to its compact and lightweight build.
Upon launch we called the Canon EOS R capable, customizable, but compromised. Two years later it's a much more appealing proposition, thanks to firmware-improved performance and a more competitive price tag.
