Olympus M.Zuiko 45mm F1.2 Pro review

At $1,200, the Olympus M.Zuiko 45mm F1.2 Pro might be expensive, but the premium price is matched by excellent performance. This lens sets a new standard for Micro Four Thirds.

Sigma 16mm F1.4 Contemporary review

At just $449, the Sigma 16mm F1.4 Contemporary is a fast, wide-angle lens for mirrorless cameras that won’t break the bank.

Lensbaby Burnside 35 review

Using a secondary aperture iris, the Burnside 35 lets you dial in a variable amount of vignetting independently of the main aperture. It’s like Instagram’s vignette slider for people who prefer to get it right in-camera.

Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 Art review

After a decade of standing uncontested, Nikon’s venerable 14-24mm f/2.8 finally has some very strong competition in the form of the Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 Art lens. It’s a lens for a small niche, but it could be the new ultra-wide zoom to beat.

Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 Art review

With no shortage of competition, it’s difficult for a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens to stand out these days. But thanks to a low price and optical image stabilization, the Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 Art offers exceptional value to enthusiasts and professionals while filling the role of a durable workhorse lens.

Pentax K-1 II review

The original K-1 felt like a purpose-built camera for landscape photographers, but the Mark II offers little in the way of tangible improvements. It’s still good a camera in the right conditions, but it doesn’t warrant an upgrade -- especially in the presence of fiercer competition.

Fujifilm X-T100 review

The X-T100 is Fujifilm’s least expensive camera with a built-in electronic viewfinder and carries on the standard of design excellence that the X Series is known for. Unfortunately, its slow performance may turn potential customers away, particularly casual users who want a simple, easy to use camera.

Canon EF 85mm f/1.4L IS lens review

Combining both a fast f/1.4 aperture and optical image stabilization, the Canon EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM rejects the choice between speed and stability, finally delivering a prime lens that gives photographers the best of both worlds. The $1,600 prime is worthy of joining any enthusiast or pro’s kit.

Sony A7 III review

With impressive image quality, responsive performance, and an affordable price, the A7III redefines what it means to be an entry-level full-frame camera. It's a huge step forward from the Mark II before it, and gives more expensive models a run for their money.

Hasselblad X1D-50c review

With the X1D, Hasselblad took a bold step in a new direction and has remained committed to it with periodic firmware updates and many new lenses. But the mid-priced medium-format camera remains best suited to ultra-high-end photography.

Panasonic Lumix S1R review

The Lumix S1R is one of the most capable cameras ever made, from its robust build to extensive feature set. But its key feature, the 187MP high resolution mode, is something few customers will have use for. Here's how it stacks up to the competition, as well as the more affordable Lumix S1.

Canon EOS RP review

The EOS RP is the cheapest new full-frame camera ever made, and that's certainly something. But to bring us the RP, Canon had to take away features and performance we've come to expect from full-frame cameras. Do customers in the market for a cheap, compact camera even need full frame?

Ricoh GR III review

The Ricoh GR III puts a large, APS-C sensor inside a camera body that's barely bigger than a point-and-shoot. Combined with a stunning 28mm f/2.8 lens, it offers a shooting experience as easy as your phone, but with much better results. For street and travel photography, it's hard to beat.

Insta360 One X review

The Insta360 One X is the most capable consumer 360 camera you can buy. It's not quite the savior immersive imaging needs, but it's still the closest thing we've got to a 360 camera that does everything right, thanks to creative editing controls and fun accessories. If you want a 360 camera, it's worth a look.

Sigma 40mm F1.4 Art lens review

40mm is an awkward focal length, but the Sigma 40mm F1.4 Art is so good that you'll want to use it in place of your 35 or 50mm. Extremely sharp across the frame, it's one of the best prime lenses we've ever tested, and offers beautiful subjective qualities.
