Our Firmware Friday wrapup comes a little later than planned this week, thanks to a photo opportunity too good to be missed in downtown Knoxville. (More on that very shortly in our continuing Sony RX100 III review -- watch this space!) It's still Friday in the US, though, so we're squeaking under the wire...

There was a time when Detroit was a vibrant city, a place that attracted workers and visitors from all over the country. That was the time of the Motor City, the home of the American automotive industry, and the time of Motown and its signature music style. Those times are long gone, and ever since the economic...

 

 

Last night, we reported on the launch of the Panasonic FZ1000, the company's first large-sensor, long-zoom camera, and a strong, direct rival to the extremely popular Sony RX10. We're continuing to work on our detailed hands-on preview of the FZ1000, and have just published a significant update including our first...

After a quite a long wait, Sony Alpha fans yearning for a new flagship APS-C got their wish with the new Sony A77 II, which boasts yet again an impressive 24.3MP sensor, though this one's a new iteration and shared with the Sony A6000. Coupled with Sony's latest BIONZ X image processor, the A77 II claims to have a big boost in high ISO performance -- up to 25,600 rather...

But the RX100 line has become the dominant force in premium compact cameras since the launch of the line in the late summer...

Whenever and wherever you're looking for a photographer to take pictures of you, your business, your event etc., you'll probably first Google for professional photographers in your vicinity.

Canon fans, are you ready to party? The company is celebrating a milestone for its EOS-1 series of professional SLRs, and it's a pretty impressive one. The original EOS-1 film SLR hit the market all the way back in 1989, so the series has now been on sale for a quarter-century!

What's really impressive to...

When Sigma first announced its 18-35mm f/1.8 lens for DSLR cameras with an APS-C sensor, it was quickly recognised as one of the fastest (if not the fastest) zoom lenses ever made. Unfortunately, as it often is when a third-party lens first hits the market, it was initially not available in all camera mounts, and users of Sony and Pentax...

Spread out over a full-frame 35mm sensor, each pixel of the A7S is more than twice the size of what current APS-C...
