Travel photographer Austin Mann made news last year when he pitted the iPhone 4S and then new iPhone 5 in a head-to-head showdown in Iceland. This year he decided to repeat the challenge with the iPhone 5S — and he was confident enough in its skills that he left his DSLR at home.

Mann traveled to Patagonia with...

 

 

Last year, Felix Baumgartner made history by jumping from the edge of space, falling 23 miles down to the Earth below, and surviving. The Red Bull Stratos, as the jump was known, was documented by more than 35 cameras. And Red Bull has just released another view of his famed decent, including footage from a helmet...

 

 

Last week, Sony announced the A7 and A7r, which will be the first widely affordable mirrorless full-frame cameras. Simultaneously, Sony also unveiled five lenses to accompany the two new cameras, but it hasn't taken long for the first third party lensmakers to jump on board, too. Budget lensmaker Samyang has...

 

 

The MacBook Air is a popular laptop for photographers, as its low-weight and long battery life make it easy to take out of the studio with you. But if you bought one between June 2012 and June 2013, the unit might have been recalled due to failures in its flash drive.

Apple has a flash drive replacement scheme...

Succeeding the Fujifilm X-E1 mirrorless compact system camera -- a model that we fell in love with last year -- comes the Fuji X-E2, which boasts the next generation of the company's award-winning X-Trans sensor technology and a host of other upgrades. This latest X-series interchangeable lens camera not only now...

 

 

The high-end pocket camera market continues to heat up with Fujifilm's latest X-Series compact -- the Fuji XQ1. This ultra-portable, high-end digital camera is one of Fuji's smallest X-Series cameras, with a design that looks like the merging of the XF1 and X20.

Panasonic has introduced the first truly "micro" Micro Four Thirds camera with its diminutive yet powerful Panasonic GM1 -- the latest addition to the company's already healthy lineup of mirrorless cameras. If you’re a photographer who wants a camera in the size of a point-and-shoot, but with the flexibility and...

 

 

The Nikon D5300 may mark an evolutionary -- rather than a revolutionary -- upgrade over the less-than-one-year-old D5200. However, the camera's improvements are quite considerable, potentially positioning the DSLR as a compelling, more affordable option for advanced amateurs who may be eyeing the higher-end,...

Life is all about compromises, but fans of full-frame and mirrorless cameras will be thrilled to hear that Sony has just removed a compromise we've long taken as an unfortunate fact of life. If you wanted a fully-featured mirrorless camera, you had to live with -- at best -- an APS-C sensor. If you wanted a...

 

 

Once a popular category, the market for enthusiast-grade, all-in-one cameras (aka "bridge" cameras) has been a little moribund in recent years, but the new Sony RX10 promises to breathe new life into the high end of the field. While there's been a steady stream of new bridge-camera models, increasingly compact and...

If you're using Windows,...

 

 

For its latest lens launch, Sigma has taken an unusually low-key approach: The brand-new Art-series Sigma 24-105mm F4 DG OS HSM itself does the talking, with no formal announcement made alongside its introduction. But don't let that sell it short: It looks like a very interesting lens indeed.
