Why I Won’t Buy a New Camera

This is one of the more inspirational, down to Earth, GAS busting gear monologs we've seen. Originally published in 2015, this video by DSLRguide's Simon Cade explains exactly why he has no interest in upgrading his trusty Canon T3i to something more popular and powerful.

Fuji Releases #HumbleBrag Apology, Can’t Keep Up with X-T2 Orders

It's an apology, but it sounds a little bit like a #humblebrag, too. Fuji X-T2 production can't keep up with demand, and so the company has released an official apology to those buyers who will have to wait a little longer to get their hands on Fuji's new mirrorless camera.

No More Chimping: Leica Reveals the LCD-Free Leica M-D (Typ 262)

Leica has just debuted the much-anticipated and much-rumored Leica M-D (Typ 262). It's the first production M-Series Leica that leaves out the LCD screen—a camera for photographers with a love of simplicity, a dislike of chimping, and a desire to live in the past and future of photography simultaneously.

Raspberry Pi Camera Gets Its First Upgrade, 8MP and Better in Low Light

The 5MP Omnivision camera module was the Raspberry Pi's very first add-on, but in the three years since it was release it hasn't gotten a single update... that is, until today. The Rasberri Pi Foundation has officially announced the arrival of a new and improved Sony module (actually two), and it won't cost you a penny more than the last one.

The Impossible Project Debuts Its Very First Camera, The I-1

Everybody is "reinventing" things these days, but even still, we would be lying if we said we weren't at least intrigued by the all-new Impossible Project I-1. It's the company's very first camera, or, as they put it, "The Original Instant Camera. Reinvented."

Hasselblad Returns to Its Roots with the Powerful, All-New H6D System

For its 75th anniversary, Hasselblad is returning to its roots. They're saying goodbye to the smaller, rebranded models, and taking aim at the high end medium format market once again. And the company's first giant leap in that direction comes today, in the form of the all new H6D system.

Olympus’ Selfie Friendly E-PL7 Wants to Woo Smartphone Photographers Away from Their Phones

There's only so much you can do with a smartphone, and as more and more people begin exploring photography through the little device in their pockets, they inevitably bump up against those boundaries.

These are the people Olympus built the new PEN E-PL7 for, with its social sharing capabilities and selfie-friendly features, hoping to lure a few of the smartphone faithful over to the world of interchangeable lenses and sensor size wars.

Leica Steps Into the 21st Century with the Apple-Esque Leica T Mirrorless System

Leica isn't known for modern styling and innovative design. For the most part, the company sticks with what works, branching out here and there to release a special edition that is sold for an even more outrageous price than the standard version.

But today Leica steps outside of the box with the new Leica T: a APS-C sensor, aluminum unibody camera with surprisingly few physical controls, a large touchscreen and a whole new lens mount.

First Set of Rumored Specs for the D800s Appear Online

It's still early on in the rumor-gathering process for Nikon's D800/D800E successor -- possibly called the D800s -- but rumor sites have already gotten their hands on a first set of leaked specs for the mysterious followup.

Nikon Teases New Retro-Styled Full-Frame in Mysterious ‘Pure Photography’ Ad

Shortly after Sony announced the mirrorless a7 and a7R full-frames, rumors broke that Nikon had a new full-frame of its own coming in short order. As release dates and spec lists have begun to fly, anticipation has understandably grown; and now, Nikon is adding fuel to that fire by releasing a short teaser video for a "pure photography" camera.

Rumor: Nikon to Announce a Retro-Styled Full-Frame in the Next Three Weeks

There's no denying that the Sony a7 and a7R made quite the splash in the photographic industry both before and after their official arrival. With full-frame sensors, a mirrorless design and price tags that make at least the a7 cheaper than even the most affordable full-frame alternatives, Sony hit the trifecta.

But a new rumor seems to indicate that Nikon, at least, wants to get in on some of the action by releasing a new retro-styled full-frame that will compete directly with Sony's offerings.

Panasonic Lumix GF5 Becomes Official

Panasonic has officially announced the Lumix GF5, conveniently skipping over the GF4 from the GF3. The tiny Micro Four Thirds camera is geared towards beginners and offers some subtle changes from its predecessor. While the 12.1-megapixel sensor hasn't changed, the new camera offers a new max ISO of 12,800, faster autofocus, a new 1080/30p HD view mode, a stereo microphone, a higher-res 3-inch touchscreen, a refined user interface, and an increase to 4fps (up from 3.8).

Canon has officially taken the wraps off its new 5D Mark III DSLR, a followup to the 5D Mark II that offers a feature set that sits somewhere between its predecessor and the soon-to-arrive 1D X. The camera packs a 22.3MP full-frame sensor, the 61-point AF system found in the 1D X, 63-zone metering, an ISO range of 100-25600 (expandable to 50-102400), 6fps continuous shooting, a 3.2-inch LCD (1.04M dots), and 100% viewfinder coverage (up from 98%).

Leica Announces the M9-P: Basically an M9 without the Red Dot

Turns out that mysterious Leica camera spotted on British singer Seal was in fact a Leica that didn't officially exist yet, but now it does: Leica has just announced the M9-P digital rangefinder. The new camera is basically the M9 with a few cosmetic changes -- all the guts are identical. Like on the non-digital Leica MP, the traditional red dot is missing from the M9-P, which meant to give the camera an "understated appearance".
