The Sweet Setup just published literally the best roundup of iPhone photo editing apps we've seen. Need another reason to take a look? They even interviewed some of the most popular...

 

 

Sony has just lanched five new Cyber-shot camera models for the CP+ tradeshow in Japan. The Sony HX400V ultrazoom is the most fully-featured, while the Sony H400 and Sony H300 pare down on features and cost. The Sony WX350 puts a big lens in a pocket camera, and the Sony W800 focuses on photographers for whom...

Sony just unwrapped the latest member of their Alpha ILCE family, the Sony Alpha 6000. The well-received Sony NEX-6 not only gets refreshed with the NEX "de-branding" we expected, but also upgraded with some very significant performance enhancements. Looking like a blend of three cameras -- the NEX-6, NEX-7 and Alpha 7 -- the new A6000 sits...

Canon's previous entry-level DSLR and large-sensor enthusiast compact offerings have been looking to be due for replacement, and today their replacements arrive. Beginner and entry-level DSLR users, meet the Canon Rebel T5; enthusiasts, take a gander at the Canon G1 X Mark II!

Sitting below the Rebel T5i in their product lineup, the...

 

 

When Instagram first rolled out ads last November, the reaction was mixed. Some brands quickly latched on to the Instagram specific look and feel, which made their photographs feel like a natural part of your news feed. Others, not so much. Famously, one of the first ads was from Michael Kors, and it looked more...

 

 

When hearing the name Swarovski, most people will probably think of those little diamond-shaped glass crystals that adorn so many everyday items. But the company has a much wider product range than fashion accessories. In fact, Swarovski has its very own optics division named Swarovski Optik, which manufactures...

 

 

In January of last year, Samyang stated on a Facebook page that a 50mm f/1.2 lens was on the roadmap, maybe for 2014. Now, appropriately enough over Facebook again, Samyang has stated that "The 50mm f1.2 is not realising," killing off that self-same lens. But why would the popular manual focus lens maker nix piece...

 

 

The White House News Photographer Association has held its annual "Eyes of History" photography competition, and has awarded two photographers top honors. Astrid Riecken has been named “Photographer of the Year” and Getty's Win McNamee has won “Political Photo of the Year” for a shot of President Obama.

We've just posted the third and final installment of my Shooter's Report for our Panasonic GM1 Review. In this post, I explore how the little GM1 handles larger -- and much larger -- lenses as I take it out for some telephoto shooting. One of my favorite subjects to photograph is wildlife, but you often need long...

 

 

We've just started testing the Fujifilm X-A1 and quickly ran across something astonishing (and we don't use that word very often): It blows the doors off the close competition at higher ISOs for delivering good detail while keeping the noise levels low, and even challenges some cameras costing more than $1000!

About a month ago during CES in Las Vegas, we saw quite a bit of 4K UHD video related gear being announced, be it monitors that sport a 4K resolution or 4K-capable camcorders. Only a couple of days ago, Panasonic announced the first consumer-friendly, mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera that is capable of recording 4K video: the Lumix GH4....

 

 

Leicas aren't cheap cameras. Even generations old units, if they're in good condition, can fetch an obscene price. But apparently that doesn't stop Duncan Wong, a man who's collected one of the finest sets of old gear we've ever seen, primarily Leicas, but also some other fantastic cameras. And he's inspired in us...

 

 

Adobe Photoshop has a pretty high barrier to entry—not in the least because of the arcane nested menu settings, and contortionist key combinations required to use it quickly. SHORTCUT-S is a Kickstarter for a new type of keyboard, one designed specifically for Photoshop (and potentially other applications), where...

 

 

When Sony invested more than $600 million into Olympus in late 2012, everyone assumed that would mean that Olympus would be using Sony sensors for most of its cameras. The OM-D E-M5 used a Sony sensor, and had some of the best performance for Micro Four Thirds camera available. But Chipworks has discovered...

 

 

Concept cars are great. They allow designers to play with ideas and forms that would never work in the real world. Take, for instance, the new Renault Kwid, the first Renault concept unveiled outside of Europe. It has a unique design, with the driver in the middle of the front row, internal webbed seats, but most...

 

 

Good morning! It's the start of another week and a whole new slew of camera and lens deals. We've found a great mixture of brands and items this morning including deals on Canon DSLRs -- both new and refurbished --  as well as deals on a Canon superzoom and DSLR lenses (and a Speedlite flash deal). There's also a...

 

 

It's been almost eight years since Sigma announced development of its first compact digital camera, the Foveon sensor-shod Sigma DP1 -- a radical camera which spawned the large-sensor, fixed-lens compact category. Today, the company has completely reinvented not just its dp-series line, but the Foveon...
