  • Canon EOS Rebel T6i (750D)

    The Canon EOS 750D/Rebel T6i marks the tenth generation in a series that started way back in 2003 with the 300D/Rebel. However, each revision hasn’t always brought significant improvements.

  • Pentax K-3 II

    The Pentax K-3 II is a fairly minor update of the excellent K-3 camera, principally adding the innovative Pixel Shift Resolution technology, an improved anti-shake system, Diffraction Correction, and built-in GPS (albeit at the expense of the pop-up flash).

    [I]f you can stomach the cost and if you can learn to love the manual-focus only nature of the lens, the Zeiss Loxia 50mm f/2 Planar T is a superb choice for full-frame E-Mount Sony owners that’s capable of truly stunning results.

  • Nikon D7200

    Rather than completely changing the design and way the D7200 works, Nikon has made a few incremental upgrades which tweaks the camera to make it even more appealing than its predecessor (which was also pretty great).

  • Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art

    This is a relatively small concern for most photographers, though, so we can strongly recommend the new Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM as a fast, well-built wide-angle prime lens that delivers excellent results at a price that won't break the bank.

  • Sony a7 II

    All-in-all, we're impressed with the ergonomic improvements that have been introduced on the A7 II, and feel that the resulting increase in size and weight is a worthwhile compromise.

  • Fujifilm X-A2

    The X-A2 is certainly right up there with the best APS-C sensor cameras on the market, so if image quality at a very affordable price is paramount, the X-A2 fits the bill.

  • Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II

    It may look similar to the 3-year-old EM-5, but with a plethora of "under-the-hood" improvements, the new Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II far surpasses that camera, and in some ways the flagship OM-D E-M1 too.

  • Fujifilm XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR

    The Fujifilm XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR proved to be remarkably sharp in the image centre almost throughout the entire focal range, except at full 55mm telephoto where optimum sharpness isn't achieved unless stopping down to f/4.

  • Fujifilm XF 56mm f/1.2 R APD

    Priced at £1119.99 / $1499.99, the Fujifilm XF 56mm F1.2 R APD is something of a niche purchase, but if you spend a lot of time shooting portraits in the studio, this lens can definitely give you a creative edge.

  • If you can afford the hefty price-tag, then we can certainly recommend the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM as an excellent telephoto zoom lens for Canon full-frame DSLR owners that can very effectively take the place of several primes.
