The Canon PowerShot V1 is a well-built, responsive pocket rocket of a digital camera, though it does miss out on a couple of features such as an eye level viewfinder and a built-in flash that I would have expected to have found on a compact for enthusiasts.
[T]he Panasonic S1R II is a flagship mirrorless camera that is equal parts photographic and videographic tool, which features a very high-resolution full frame sensor to allow the making of massive prints, or the cropping of images [...]
Long-awaited, robustly constructed everything-but-the-kitchen-sink EOS R series flagship packed with the latest cutting-edge tech, albeit for a pro-level price that slashes a Godzilla-sized hole in our wallet.
On its first try, DJI has knocked 360-degree filming out of the park with the Osmo 360. Sure, it might look a little bland, but it’s easily one of the best cameras out there for capturing head-turning 360-footage.
I think that’s a really compelling combination. It’s not perfect, of course: the lack of weather sealing feels like a missed opportunity; the screen and viewfinder are usable but feel outdated; and video shooters will be frustrated by overheating issues and ergonomic quirks.
It's not quite a flagship killer at £799/$799, but it's a charming slow-burner that makes you want to keep picking it up.
There are plenty of us looking for a suitably easy entry point into this medium, however, plus a device that still offers room to grow. And with the R50 V we might just have found it.
The DJI Mavic 4 Pro is the best premium consumer drone I’ve ever reviewed, bringing together excellent battery life, simple and safe flight and a brilliantly flexible high-performance camera. If you have the money to spend and want the best all-round drone for under [...]
The Insta360 X4 was already the best 360 action camera on the market, but its replacement is even better.
The Pixel 9a is a great phone that does nearly everything right. It offers a great design, now distinct from the flagship Pixel 9 collection, with improvements to an already solid camera offering, boosted performance and the longest battery life of any Pixel I’ve used to date.
Razor-sharp, detail-rich imagery delivered on a consistent basis makes it something of an enthusiast/pro photographer’s workhorse.
[T]he Sony A9 III is capable of delivering a faithful rendition of the scene in front of you, which is exactly what any photojournalist wants and requires.
With the ‘R’ in the camera name indicating that Sony has placed resolution front-and-centre in terms of the A7CR’s appeal, it’s unsurprising that this camera offers almost double the pixel count of the A7C II that launched alongside it in 2023.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is undoubtedly one of the best smartphones around right now, though it does have its drawbacks.
As unique as its predecessor was, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is a welcome reboot that is so much nicer to use for extended periods. Both screens are (mostly) great, the build is thinner and lighter and everything just feels more high-end.
The OnePlus 13 is a solid phone that represents a great alternative to flagships from Samsung and Google. It’s really powerful, can go for ages on a full charge, refills quickly, has a brilliant display and versatile camera system.
This second generation of the electronics giant’s E-Mount full frame camera promises plentiful high-end features in a compact (if chunky) package, proving itself reliable in delivering very high-quality output.
The Vivo X200 Pro is easily one of the most impressive camera phones available today. If you value photography over everything else, this needs to be on your radar.
The Panasonic Lumix S9 is a brilliant full-frame camera designed to simplify content creation for the masses.
Paired with true all-day battery life, seven years of OS upgrades and top-tier everyday performance, it’s hard to see why you’d opt for anything else at this point in 2024.
Wireless charging, a better camera, a more capable chipset and a faster display make the Pixel 7a a tempting buy in 2024, even with the newer Pixel 8a readily available in most markets. It’s not entirely perfect, but when available at a discount, there’s a lot to like.
The OM-1 Mark II ups the ante in delivering plenty of bang for our buck in a body that, while chunky and weighty when compared with alternatives from the same manufacturer, really comes into its own for portability.
The OM-5 is a creatively powerful, portable and intuitive-to-use camera with the ability to switch lenses for optimal capture of any subject, and one that will neither break your back nor the bank. It’s a very capable everyday, travel or sightseeing companion.
The Insta360 Ace Pro 2 is another strong contender for the title of best action camera, although there’s no absolute killer feature here that makes it an automatic pick over the GoPro Hero 13 Black or DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro.
