[A] very attractive choice for travel and general photography.

The R10 is a good camera, and its bigger sibling the R7 does not let the side down. It handles well, performs impeccably and is a solid, well-designed camera.
The Panasonic Lumix GH6 is a powerhouse of an MFT format camera, delivering the highest quality possible for both stills and videography.
The new Tamron 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD lens is a pure delight to use. It does its job admirably, without any glitches or vices getting in the way of enjoying our photography.
The Fujifilm X-T5 is up there with the best of them and is 'Highly Recommended'.
Sony has gone one step further here, and a lens stretching from an ultra-wide 20mm through to a short telephoto 70mm, focusing right down to almost half-life-size, is an amazing and versatile option for Sony A series users.
Reasonably priced, straightforward to use and with plenty of features under the hood to keep the photographer interested and able to develop their style, this small camera has much going for it.
The Canon R8 is a well-made, slick and efficient new mirrorless hybrid camera that delivers on handling and performance.
The Sigma AF 50mm f/1.4 DG DN Art lens is firmly in this group, and the Art lenses as a whole are aspiring to be the best lenses they possibly can be. Sigma's new lens is one that they feel justifiably proud of, and it comes 'Highly Recommended'.
If the viewfinder is not needed, then the Z30 is a very, very strong contender and well worthy of close consideration. In conclusion, the Z30 plus 16-50mm kit is 'Highly Recommended'.
As always, there is the conflict of interests involved in seeing a product that “I want” as well as considering "I need", and the Nikon Z fc very definitely falls into the highly desirable category of "I want".
The Leica M11 Monochrom is great, classic stuff and brings the highest quality ever into monochrome photography, at ISO values that film users could only have dreamt of. Highly recommended and perhaps for some an essential creative tool.
There is much to like about this compact ultra-wide lens and the icing on the cake is the high quality of the results. It handles beautifully and performs beautifully, all at a reasonable price.
No two ways about it, this is an extraordinary lens. Its performance is superb, it is far lighter than it could be expected to be, it has weather sealing and the price is realistic.
The X-S20 is a perfect example of what Fujifilm do best – light, compact but well-made and sturdy cameras that handle superbly and produce the highest quality of results. All this is at a competitive price as well.
The new Sony ZV-1 II is very compact, has a reasonably wide lens and is a capable vlogging camera straight out of the box. Refinements can be investigated as the user becomes more familiar with the options available.
The new Sony A6700 brings the quality and functionality of the crop sensor cameras right up to the same ballpark as the full-frame cameras. Although there are obviously still advantages to the full frame range, the crop sensor does have the edge in potential portability.
The Pentax K-3 III Monochrome is an amazing and brave camera. Amazing in that it unleashes the monochrome mindset and opens up a new avenue of creativity that just switching a colour image to monochrome cannot do.
The camera does what it says on the tin, creating a relatively low priced introduction to the world of interchangeable lens cameras.
The Leica M11-P follows the Leica tradition of producing beautifully made cameras delivering the highest quality, albeit at a high cost.
Compact, light, but fast and tough, the OM-1 Mark II is an excellent all-rounder. Given its tough exterior, weather resistance and svelte form factor, it could be the ideal outdoors camera, from wildlife to landscape to hiking and beyond.
It's big, it's heavy, it's incredible, yielding a fantastic amount of detail and virtually no noise.
There is no doubt this is a great lens to use and most of the time it ended up being used handheld.
It's a great lens and Highly Recommended. It goes a long way towards totally fulfilling its objective as laid down at the start of this review.
