It's Nikon's first 100-400mm lens period, including the company's DSLR lens lineup. It's also the only telephoto zoom lens in Nikon's lineup that goes beyond 200mm, at least until the 200-600mm lens on Nikon's Z lens roadmap hits store shelves. Even still, that lens won't be part of Nikon's S-Series, so the 100-400mm will remain Nikon's most sophisticated long...

The new Canon R6 Mark II builds upon the foundation of this capable, enthusiast-grade full-frame camera with several upgrades and improvements to the autofocusing system, the video capabilities and perhaps most notable of all: updating the sensor with one that offers a more competitive megapixel count.

It's also the widest lens in the GF system, offering a 35mm-equivalent 16-28mm focal length range. Ideal for landscape, travel and architectural photography, the GF 20-35mm F4 is an extremely impressive zoom lens. It delivers outstanding sharpness throughout its entire zoom range, even when shooting wide open at F4. While there's some slight softness in the extreme corners at 20mm,...

Well, two new full-frame mirrorless cameras technically. They also announced the S5 IIX, which is essentially the same camera but features a few more bells and whistles for serious video creators. But, the big story with Panasonic's second-generation Lumix S5 hybrid mirrorless camera is the inclusion of on-sensor phase-detection autofocus, which is a first for a Panasonic Lumix...

This latest-generation model maintains that classic retro-inspired design we've come to know and love from many of Fuji's X Series cameras. From the outside, the X-T5 might look similar to its predecessor, but under the hood, this is likely the biggest upgrade and improvement we've ever seen to this camera...

While the 61-megapixel sensor remains unchanged, Sony has made many other changes to the A7R V, ranging from minor to significant. Among key new features is a new autofocus system with AI-powered subject recognition technology, a dedicated AI processing unit, a new rear display, improved EVF, improved in-body image stabilization, dual CFexpress Type...

This second-gen, enthusiast-grade mirrorless camera brings several upgrades and improvements over its predecessor, most notably to its image sensor. The original model features a humble 20MP sensor, which, while still offering excellent image quality, was a bit low-res compared to competing cameras on the market.

This "non-S" version, rather the sporting a super-fast stacked sensor, stuck with a "traditional" X-Trans sensor design, however Fuji upped the resolution significantly compared to the 26MP sensor we've come to see in nearly all of Fuji's previous-generation X Series cameras. The X-H2 hits into serious high-resolution territory with a 40MP...

The Sony A7R V uses the same 61-megapixel sensor as the A7R IV, so we know the new camera will produce amazing image quality, especially at low ISO settings.
