The Nikon Z6 III is a fascinating camera with many compelling features. While the camera's dynamic range doesn't match its predecessor's, detailed lab testing shows that there is some positive news when it comes to overall image quality.
In this week's episode of The PetaPixel Podcast, DPReview Technical Editor Richard Butler joins Chris Niccolls and Jordan Drake to share the inside story of what actually happened between DPReview and Amazon.
Yesterday, DPReview announced that it would not be shutting down as originally planned as it and its editorial team have been acquired! Chris Niccolls, Jordan Drake, and Jaron Schneider dig into it in this week's episode of The PetaPixel Podcast.
Nearly three months after DPReview announced its imminent shutdown, and more than two months after DPReview was initially slated to shut down and go offline, the beloved publication has found a new lease on life.
Digital Photography Review has released an update about its impending closure, addressing the concerns from its readers about lost content and announcing an archival effort.
Following the announcement on March 21 that DPReview.com will be shutting down on April 10, the website has been publishing a series of retrospective articles, including a new "DPReview by the numbers" slideshow that puts into perspective just how much amazing content its team has published over the years.
As Amazon prepares to start winding down DPReview, the publication's founder Phil Askey has publicly spoken out against the decision and put Amazon's CEO Andy Jassy on blast, calling the choice to shut down the site a "waste."
Digicam Finder is a new resource that has successfully ported over a huge amount of information from DPReview in an attempt to keep a historical record of every digital camera released since the early 1990s alive.
How I feel about losing DPReview is difficult to put to words. The brand has been a mainstay since I took up a camera and the space that they leave now is one that I don't think will ever be properly filled again.
Following yesterday's news that DPReview is shutting down, photographers around the web began wondering what would happen to its huge library of articles, reviews, and camera test images, including the website's excellent studio shot comparison tool. Archive Team aims to scrape more than 4 million articles and posts within the next three weeks.
DPReview, easily one of the most beloved publications among photography enthusiasts, will shut down and its content will be deleted. The website was caught up in the recent layoffs that hit Amazon and it will cease operations on April 10.
A Redditor's 3D-printable pistol grip for cameras takes the phrase "point and shoot" and makes it a lot more literal.
There is a purveying thought that larger resolution sensors, with therefore smaller pixels, are worse than lower resolution sensors, with therefore larger pixels, in low light. This is a myth.
Researchers in Germany have found a way to take old iPhones -- specifically an iPhone 5 -- and combine them with LEGO to make a DIY high-resolution microscope designed for young students.
DPReview just released its annual camera industry predictions video where Chris and Jordan discuss what they think will come from the leading manufacturers. I think that, for the most part, they're right on the nose.
Announced in 2018, we're finally starting to get a look at the $6,000 Zeiss ZX1. The camera is designed to be a photo capture, edit, and share device, and as such runs Lightroom Mobile right on the rear LCD.
It has been a while since we talked about Sony A-mount. The A99 II felt like the last hurrah for the format when it was announced, and seeing continued support in any way probably wasn't necessary from Sony, who has clearly moved on to the E-mount. The LA-EA 5 adapter, though, shows that despite not needing to, they still care about A-mount users.
When Canon released the EOS R5 and EOS R6, they made it clear right away that both cameras were thermally limited when shooting 8K (R5) or oversampled 4K (both) video. But what does this mean for real world use? DPReview has now tested both cameras, and their conclusion is unfortunate for Canon fans who hoped that overheating concerns were made up or overblown.
DPReview scored the official confirmation that the entire photo industry has been waiting on for years now: the Sony a7S III is indeed coming 'later this summer,' and the company is promising 'supreme' performance from the 'completely redesigned' camera.
While digital photography and post-processing have done away with the need for certain types of lens filters, there are still a number of filters that can't be replaced by Photoshop. Here's a 8.5-minute video by DPReview on which filters you should still consider keeping in your camera bag.
It's a sad day for the photo industry. Imaging Resource, one of the most respected and uncompromising camera review websites in the world, is shutting down. The news became official earlier today when founder Dave Etchells sent an email to some of his friends and colleagues in the industry.
While still cameras use histograms to show tonal distribution and clipping, many video cameras use waveforms for the same purpose. Here's an educational 8-minute video in which DPReview's Chris Nichols argues why waveforms are better than histograms and why still cameras should adopt them too.
If you've been hoping and praying that Fujifilm will launch a full-frame mirrorless camera, get ready to have your dreams dashed: the company is now saying that it will "never go full-frame."
The new Nikon Z7 mirrorless camera and the Nikon D850 DSLR both have 45.7MP backside-illuminated full-frame sensors, so one might reasonably assume that the two cameras have virtually identical image quality. But it turns out the Z7 actually falls short in the area of dynamic range due to banding.
As the saying goes, "There's no such thing as a free lunch." And it looks like this applies to camera tech as much as anything else. According to a new report, the Sony a9 had to sacrifice some dynamic range to reach the crazy 20fps speeds everyone is so excited about.
The groundbreaking new Sony a9 is one heck of a sports camera, and it's cheaper than both the Canon 1DX Mark II and the Nikon D5. That must mean it's financially smart to switch, right? Not so fast...
Sigma is undoubtedly, tantalizingly on fire. Their Art series lenses consistently undercut and outperform the competition, as they proved yet again by manufacturing an 85mm f/1.4 lens that is not only $600 cheaper than Sony's top-of-the-line 85mm GM, but according to DPReview, it's better 'across the board.'
If you could pick anybody, alive or dead, what photographer would you choose to take your portrait? That's the question DPReview just asked 10 well-known photographers.
"What was your first camera?" The answer to that question can reveal a lot about a person. Did you start on digital or film? Was it an SLR, a point-and-shoot, maybe even a medium format camera? Was it your mom's camera? In this fun video, 10 top industry photographers share what their first camera was.
Nikon made a splash back in September 2011 when it decided to jump into the mirrorless camera industry with its J1 and V1 cameras. Since then, Nikon has expanded and updated the line to consist of the AW1, V3, J5, and S2. But now there are murmurings that Nikon has ended the development of its 1 Series line of mirrorless cameras.
