Canon EOS R Review: First Impressions

 

 

Canon has announced their first full frame mirrorless camera, the EOS R. Canon has also announced several new lenses to go along with the launch, calling this the launch of a "system" rather than just the launch of a new camera. As such, Canon is launching the EOS R with...

Sony Artisan Patrick Murphy-Racey has been photographing sports regularly during his twenty-five year career as a photojournalist, although before this year, he has never photographed the US Open tennis major.

I recently had a chance to tour Nikon’s Sendai camera factory, as part of the festivities surrounding the launch of their new Z-series full-frame mirrorless line.

I love equipment that seems to relish in its own superiority: great optics, the best cameras, spectacular audio equipment.
