[Y]ou have to say that it continues to miss the mark of what PowerShot G-series purchasers would require from a flagship model.

Overall, there is little to fault about Canon’s EF 24-70mm in isolation but when compared against the brand-new Nikkor design it perhaps falls slightly behind in terms of both focusing speed and image quality.
Broadly speaking the Panasonic Lumix GX80 uses the same viewfinder and screen as the older GX7, with the main difference being that the EVF no longer tilts upwards.
After a full day’s testing, I can say the XF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR is a lens that fulfils the appetite of those who’ve been waiting patiently for a longer zoom in Fujifilm’s line-up of XF lenses.
The developments to the D5200’s internals – most notably the adopted 39-point AF system and 24MP sensor – result in a truly impressive specification for a consumer model.
Thanks to the clever Guide Mode, the D3200 is a DSLR that’s easy to pick up and start shooting with, allowing you to learn as you go, while the impressive resolution offered can produce lovely looking images and plenty of photographic possibilities.
Bettering the D3s was always going to be a hard task, but with the D4, Nikon has achieved it.
For many photographers, Nikon has it the sweet spot with the D600 – a perfect blend of size, image quality, performance and price.
While it may appear to be simply a stripped down, more affordable X-Pro1 to tempt more people into Fujifilm’s CSC family, that would be doing the X-E1 a great disservice.
Blending the best bits of their compact and DSLR range, Canon has delivered one of the most easy to use, capable CSCs around today.
The Canon G1 X’s sensor is the star of the show. The images this camera can produce are exceptional, easily of a DSLR quality – and it’s not often that’s said.
What Canon has achieved with the EOS-1D X is remarkable and we have no hesitation in saying it’s the best Canon DSLR we’ve ever used.
With this kind of competition, the X2 needed to deliver something really special to set it apart from its rivals and justify the price, but it falls short. Images are excellent and the styling makes it look the part, but the level of features and performance let it down.
There’s a lot to like about the Nikon V2; a camera which sees a real marked improvement on its predecessor.
Sony’s NEX range is shaping up to be a powerful force in the compact system camera market.
As an entry-level model the A3000 is bettered by all of its rivals in terms of features, performance and value for money, including cameras from Sony itself.
[T]he Pentax Q10 has its control-to-size ratio to recommend it, and a number of positive aspects with its design, it’s sorely let down by inconsistent and often lacklustre image quality.
Put simply, the E-M1 is not just one of the best system cameras around at the moment, but one of the best cameras full stop.
While the weather-sealing is a nice addition that adds to the already quality feel of the K-500, it’s perhaps the fact that the AF points are superimposed in the viewfinder that transforms the performance of the camera, making it a lot more satisfying and pleasurable to use [...]
There’s no question that the E-P5 is a lovely camera and the best PEN model we’ve seen to date, but we’d plump for the OM-D and the money saved we put towards one of the wonderful Olympus primes available.
What type of camera you’ll opt for is down to you, but as compacts go, the Fujifilm X100S is one of the best we’ve seen.
With revisions made to the sensor, LCD, AF module and video functionality among other things, the camera certainly appears as a more serious upgrade than some other recent models. But is every change welcome, or are some causes for concern?
A look at the control interface is enough to show that the J3 is more like a point-and-shoot compact camera with interchangeable lenses, rather than a creative camera in a small form factor.
The Panasonic Lumix GX7 is very much a case of the manufacturer going back to the drawing board with regards to its advanced CSC offering.
