Late last year, Denmark's Phase One A/S released a major update to its flagship imaging utility, Capture One Pro. Among other things, the new version brought a ground-up rethink of asset management, and an overhauled raw processing engine.

Pentax Japan's website has a new addition to its "Discontinued Model Lineup": the barely more-than-a-year-old Pentax K-01 compact system camera. Announced in early February 2012, the 16-megapixel K-01 immediately made waves with its unusual form factor, created by famed designer Marc Newson, and its compatibility...

Last year's Sony Alpha NEX-F3 mirrorless camera revisited the earlier NEX-C3 design, adding both a built-in flash and a self-portrait friendly tilting LCD, but unfortunately also added significantly to the camera's weight and size.

The Sony RX1 has probably produced more excited commentary than any other camera announced in 2012. Having spent a good amount of time with it, we can say we're solidly among its fans, although our careful testing did reveal some shortcomings that have either been only lightly reported or not mentioned at all in other coverage. There's...

Nikon has issued an official product advisory for an ongoing dust problem with some of its D600 digital SLRs. According to some D600 owners, the camera's 24.3-megapixel full-frame sensor accumulates dust or oil, which can show up in the corners of photos.

Stealthy, super-secret spy cameras come in all shapes and sizes. Back in the 1800s, they looked like snazzy, metal pocket watches. More recently, digital spy cameras have been hidden in smiley face buttons or in a pair of sunglasses.

Now comes an analog spy camera embedded in something as innocuous and...

Back in late 2010, Nikon debuted the D7000, an enthusiast SLR that has since proven very popular. In some ways an evolution of the earlier D90, there was still enough differentiation to consider the Nikon D7000 to be the start of a new model line. Today that line is continued with a brand-new camera -- the Nikon D7100 -- sharing much of...

Remember the days when you were forced to fumble with the often poorly designed software that came with your camera just to see the "raw" images you shot with it? Seems like a long time ago, right?

Actually, it was only ten years ago today that Adobe launched Camera Raw, a plug-in that allows photographers to...

 

 

GoPro cameras are popular because their portability and ruggedness lets them capture extreme footage in places that didn't seem possible just a few years ago. Yesterday, for instance, we shared this video of a GoPro that was nearly swallowed by a hungry lioness, but was still able to record remarkable...

Last month, Olympus Europe announced an interesting camera that included many of the features typical of premium compacts, but not the larger sensor and body sizes. The Olympus XZ-10 design includes a bright lens, physical controls, manual and priority exposure modes, and a raw file format. At the time, Olympus USA said nothing about the...

The latest release of French software company DxO Labs' flagship, photographer-centric workflow app, DxO Optics Pro,  is now available, and it adds support for an additional six cameras from four manufacturers. From a glance at the version number, which increments by just one digit, DxO Optics Pro v8.1.3 might seem like a very modest...
