It’s pretty obvious, but the Xiaomi Mi 11 is (almost) the complete package, and yet another reminder that there’s absolutely no need to spend excruciating sums on the latest Apple or Samsung handset. Do your wallet a favour, save hundreds and consider picking up a Mi 11 instead.
The Samsung S21 is a fabulous smartphone and it comes packed with everything you could possibly want from a flagship. However, with a four-figure cost that zooms past its already-expensive rivals, it’s a tough sell, especially during the current period of economic instability.
A fantastic camera, consistent and responsive flight controls and impressive object avoidance and tracking make this DJI’s best consumer drone to date.
This camera is not worth the expense if your interest is only in photography, but as a hybrid stills and video camera it’s way ahead of the competition.
[T]he G7 X II is on course for being my favourite camera of 2016.
The Panasonic G80 is pricier than the G7 was at launch, but this feels like a big step up with its weather sealing, bigger viewfinder, sensor-shift stabilisation and posher kit lens.
The EOS 250D continues that heritage nicely – it takes great images and supports a wild number of lenses that will allow it to grow with learning photographers. It’s usable, and its guide mode provides an easy way into the jungle of f-stops and shutter speeds.
The A6600 is a dream to use. Comfortable, fast and mounted with a good number of body controls; this is a camera that experienced photographers will get to grips with in no time.
Great images, great battery life, a top-notch movie mode and excellent usability – the Nikon D780 gets pretty much everything right for the price.
There’s no denying the allure of a full-frame SLR. Noise levels are lower, details tend to be sharper and shallow depth-of-field effects are more pronounced.
If you already own the D3500’s predecessor, the D3400, this is not a worthwhile upgrade. There simply aren’t enough improvements to justify the faff.
The best compact on the market? [...] Certainly, it’s one of the most powerful.
What a piece of kit. [...] We’re optimistic about the future of the L-mount, and the kit lens that came with our review camera is certainly good enough to take the fight to Nikon and Canon’s pro lenses.
There’s no denying that the RX100 IV is a hugely impressive camera. At this price it really needs to be.
It might be small, light and consumer-friendly, but we can see the M6 Mark II being comfortable in the bag – or indeed pocket – of many professionals.
As with the EOS 70D, this is a dependable all-rounder and, when the 70D disappears entirely, it’ll be the right Canon SLR for amateur enthusiasts.
The Nikon D3400’s key rival in this space is the Canon EOS 1300D. Both are entry-level SLRs with broadly similar features.
Point the Nikon D5 at unfolding action, hold the AF button down and start shooting and you’ll be amazed at its fantastic hit rate. Sharp image after sharp, well-exposed image are pulled at incredible speed onto its memory cards, ready to be published anywhere.
For the average person, cameras like the Q2 are objects of lust that will almost likely never be seriously contemplated as a purchase, but if you’re here hoping to read that this is an expensive toy for those with too much money you’re only half right.
The G7 is the clear victor for video capture, and its fast, flexible, touchscreen-operated autofocus system is the best of the bunch, too. That makes it at least as good in our view, and equally deserving of a Best Buy award.
There’s no doubt about it – the a7 is an extraordinary camera. Full-frame quality in such a small, light and reasonably priced package is a stunning achievement, and a watershed moment for CSCs.
Very few people – and hardly any hobbyists – need the EOS-1D X Mark II. [...] And that’s before you consider just how many people need to film 4K at 60fps.
The D750’s superior autofocus, noise performance, video mode and articulated screen make it well worth the extra cost compared to Nikon and Canon’s entry-level full-frame SLRs for those who can afford it.
The LX15 may be competitively priced, but [the price] is still a lot to spend on a compact camera.
