What is perfect? I don’t think there is a camera in existence that is perfect for everyone. But there are certainly cameras that, over the years, have demonstrated outstanding industrial and user interface design.
Sony’s ZV-1 “vlog” centric camera arrived in 2020 and was met with some divided opinions about the direction Sony was taking with this new video-first camera. At its launch, I was the Vice President at the public relations company working with Sony’s camera division, and I recall how some of the briefings were met with more enthusiasm than others.
It appears as though Leica's Q series of cameras has always used a leaf shutter, but that went basically unnoticed until now or, at the very least, totally un-promoted.
United Kingdom-based film photography shop Analogue Wonderland is celebrating its fifth anniversary and has announced WonderPan 400, a limited edition black-and-white 35mm film to mark the occasion.
Ask nine out of 10 influencers, and the Leica Q2 will still be on their favorites list even though it's three years old. Its timeless styling made it an instant classic, but credit goes to the venerable 28mm f/1.7 Summilux for delivering the goods. Now Leica has released its latest version, the Q3, and we got our hands on a pre-production version to try out.
Leica has announced the Q3, the third-generation of the Q series cameras that pairs a fixed-lens Summilux 28mm f/1.7 ASPH with a 60-megapixel backside illuminated (BSI) sensor equipped with phase detect autofocus.
Ricoh Imaging marches to the beat of its own drum -- I love this about the company. Pentax refuses to jump onto the mirrorless camera bandwagon, and I'm all for the company sticking it out with DSLR cameras.
The Pixellot Show S3 is a new fully automated video camera that captures 12K video via an array of three cameras to shoot and deliver footage of an entire sporting event without any human intervention.
Rode has announced a new podcasting microphone called the PodMic USB. Based on the original PodMic, this latest version offers both XLR and USB connectivity, making it extremely versatile for its $199 asking price.
While there are physical limitations to lens apertures, through the use of adapters, photographers can seemingly bypass the laws of physics and make very, very fast glass.
Sony isn't making bad cameras right now, but it is making some incredibly unexciting ones. They're starting to run together, and I can't help but look at the last few announcements and find myself just crushingly bored.
Fujifilm has announced the X-S20, a much more powerful camera than its predecessor that gets significant performance boosts thanks to a new processor.
In addition to the new X-S20 mirrorless camera, Fujifilm has expanded its X Series lens lineup with the new XF 8mm f/3.5 R WR ultra-wide angle prime lens.
In addition to the new R100 mirrorless camera, Canon today is also debuting a new pancake-style prime for the RF-mount, the 28mm f/2.8 STM.

All the major camera manufacturers love vlogging and as a result they all continue to churn out new models. Sony was one of the first to jump on that bandwagon and has now updated one of its earliest models in the new Sony ZV-1 Mark II.
Sony has announced the ZV-1 Mark II, a revamped version of its compact ZV-1 vlogging camera that was announced in 2020.
Cameras all have a pretty solid set of features and design elements that appeal to a wide range of users. But, for the most part, pretty much all of them lack a set of features that would make them all a lot more powerful and enjoyable to use.
Wide-angle zoom lenses with fast apertures are few and far between when it comes to Sony APS-C cameras. The Tokina 11-18mm f/2.8 ATX-M takes its shot in this overlooked class.
Last September, Nikon released the Z mount 17-28mm f/2.8 lens. Immediately, two specifications piqued my interest when it came to how this lens would perform with astrophotography and nightscapes: it was a wide-angle lens and also fast at f/2.8.

King Charles III's coronation marked the first crowning of a British monarch since the invention of digital cameras -- so how did modern photographers go about capturing the sacred moment?
Canon's newly announced RF100-300mm f/2.8 L IS USM lens is going to be an exceedingly rare optic for a while: the company doesn't expect to be able to deliver lenses this year, even to those who already ordered.
Just after discontinuing the Matrice 200 series, DJI has replaced it with the new Matrice 350 RTK drone, a commercial aerial system with multiple camera options and up to 55-minute flight times.
