Early last month, Panasonic thrilled 4K fans and professional videographers alike, with the announcement of its upcoming Panasonic GH4 mirrorless camera. The GH4 doesn't just build on the pedigree of Panasonic's earlier GH-series models, which have already been well-received by pros -- it takes things to a...

 

 

When Nikon debuted the D4s, one of the promises of this high-end piece of gear was that even though it has the same megapixel count as the D4, it uses a new sensor, paired with a new processor. But DxOMark has just released its review from testing the Nikon D4s, and found a camera that varies little from its...

 

 

Japanese optics manufacturer Sigma has been earning quite a bit of publicity lately -- and we'd wager some pretty good sales too -- thanks to a rejuvenated lens lineup that puts the big boys on notice with eyecatching specifications and great image quality. While the company's Zeiss-slaying 50mm f/1.4 Art...

 

 

You all know that we here at The Imaging Resource love cameras, and every manufacturer has at least a few true gems out there for all of us to fall for. But every now and then a camera seems to transcend time and the current market and, well, simply stays...

 

 

This week, Firmware Friday brings news of a raft of updates for cameras from Pentax, Sony, and Canon -- but that's not all. Mixing things up just a little, we also step outside of the box for a software update from Nikon.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves. We'll start off with Ricoh's firmware updates...

 

 

4K looks to be the next big thing in computing. We've seen 4K cameras, 4K video recording, 4K cellphones, and at CES, we saw a lot more 4K monitors, too. Now, in a new Mac OS beta, Apple has improved support for 4K displays, prompting us to wonder if Apple has its own 4K screen in the works.

The new feature is...

 

 

People love super-fast prime lenses. The famed Zeiss 50mm f/0.7 is the stuff of legend, a Noctilux will set you back more than $10,000 for f/0.95, or you can get a Hyperprime for a bit more cheap. But what would you say to a 50mm f/0.75 that you could get for less than $1000?

De Oude Delft Rayxar is actually a...

 

 

Late last year, Canon issued a product advisory for the SX50, citing that a number of units had problems with the rubber around the viewfinder discoloring, and potentially causing discomfort. Now Canon has announced an official recall for the camera, asking users to send in some 14,000 units, after some users...

 

 

Android users who have the free Photoshop Express app on their smartphone may have found something surprising when it recently updated to version 2.1. Adobe rolled out two new features, but if you want them, you have to pay. To get Adobe's Noise Reduction tool will cost you $5, and a filter pack goes for $3—which...

 

 

It's finally finished - our full and complete Olympus Stylus 1 review is ready and waiting for you. In it you'll find the final installment of our Shooter's Report where we'll explore more features and delve into testing the Stylus 1's capable lens against a competing bridge camera as well as a Micro Four Thirds...

We've seen high-speed photography and slow-motion video footage of birds in flight. We've seen high-speed photography and slow-motion video footage of water balloons popping. What we haven't seen so far is a bird of prey eviscerating a water balloon with its claws mid-flight in slow-motion. Until now.

Thanks to the brilliant folks over at...

 

 

The era of the full-frame mirrorless camera is here, thanks to the Sony A7 compact system camera, as well as its sibling the Sony A7R. The two are extremely closely-related, differing largely in their sensor resolution and autofocus method. We reviewed the A7R recently; now we turn our attention to its more...

 

 

As we reported yesterday, the Internet recently has been aflutter with reports of light leaks in the Sony A7 and A7R.

If you expose the camera to bright sunlight, attach the lens cap, crank the ISO to 25,600, and take a 30 second exposure, you'll probably see...

 

 

More bad news from the world of camera sales—there's more data on just how rough of a year 2013 was, and it looks like 2014 is off to a pretty poor start. This builds on previous reports of poor sales, and doesn't paint the beginnings of this year in a very positive light.

LensVid has put together an infographic...

Piracy is a big and oft-used word these days, especially when it comes to the internet. Another word often used in conjunction with 'piracy' is 'intellectual property.' If you're making a living from creative work such as photography, music, or similar art forms, then seeing your work being used without your consent, without proper...

 

 

While it's the Panasonic GH4's incredible sounding video skills that have drawn most of the attention, we can't forget that this is a still camera, too—and one that we're hoping will take fantastic photos. While we don't have our own hands on the GH4 yet, and haven't had a chance to plug it into the Comparometer,...

 

 

A month ago, 500px first announced 500px Prime, a move to push the popular photography site into licensing images for outside use. However, the announcement quickly drew significant ire due to the fact that it only offered photographers a 30% cut of the sale. Now Prime has gone live, and 500px has reversed the...

 

 

Across various forums and discussion boards, a number of Sony shooters have spotted a problem with the Sony A7 and Sony A7r: it leaks light. It doesn't seem like this problem is hitting all users, but the number of people who have encountered it does seem to be substantial enough to indicate that it's a real...

What do Henry Draper, born 1837, physician and professor of medicine, and Andrew Symes of Ottawa, Canada, have in common? Probably not much, one might think, apart from being residents of countries located on the North American continent. But there are two small details creating a link between the two: an interest in amateur astrophotography...
