Image: iStock/PoparticIllustration: Jeff Keller I've been reviewing cameras since 1997 and in that time I've learned a lot about what to do – and not to do – in that demanding business. In celebration of DPReview's 25th anniversary, here are five things I've learned about reviewing cameras, usually the hard way, both at DPR and on my website, DCResource.

When you use DPReview links to buy products, the site may earn a commission. Updated November 29 2024 Landscape photography is a demanding medium, requiring cameras with high resolution and dynamic range. When considering what cameras should make it on this list, we look at factors like weather-sealing, battery life and operability on a tripod. We've selected cameras that are most likely to deliver the best possible image quality if you're going to spend hours hiking to the perfect […]

The Olympus E-1 was the first DSLR designed solely for digital. The sensor format choice was independent of any film legacy and the lens design was specifically focused on the way digital sensors accept light. Leica's S series of 45x30mm medium format DSLRs is the only comparable system we can recall. It's 21 years since we reviewed the Olympus E-1, arguably the only successful attempt to develop a digital SLR system from first principles, rather than trying to adapt what had come before. As […]

When you use DPReview links to buy products, the site may earn a commission. Updated Nov 27, 2024 It's sad to say, but the golden age of compact cameras is pretty much over, thanks to the rise of smartphone cameras that are, in many cases, good enough for most people. Manufacturers seem to realize this, too; we last updated this list in 2023, and since then, there haven't really been any new additions to it. The ones that remain can also be difficult to find in stock, even when the […]

Black Friday has gone from being a single-day event to a series of sales spanning over a week. And while there are hundreds of discounted items out there, not all of them are worth your while. We've dug through them to find products that are actually a deal – the items that we know are good, and that are cheaper than their usual prices. If the deal is only available for a very narrow window of time, we'll be sure to note that. Shortcuts: Camera deals Nikon Canon Sony Panasonic Fujifilm OM […]

The APS-C lens has been available on Sony's E-mount and Fujifilm's X mount for a while, and Tamron announced it'd be coming in April of this year, but now it'll actually be available to buy. The 11-20mm F2.8 has a moisture-resistant build, and an optical formula consisting of 12 […]

Image: DJI DJI has announced the Mic Mini, a wireless lavalier microphone kit. The 'Mini' part of the name refers to the omnidirectional microphones themselves, which weigh only 10g and are small enough that they shouldn't be a huge distraction when clipped to someone's shirt or collar. In addition to the built-in clip, you can use a magnet to mount the microphone transmitter pack to your talent, though that will add a slight bit of weight. The included windscreens will also make the […]

When you use DPReview links to buy products, the site may earn a commission. Image: Tamron Tamron has announced a firmware update for its 70-180mm F2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 lens, which adds support for the Sony a9 III's 120fps mode. However, unlike many first-party Sony lenses, Tamron only supports shooting at 120fps in the single AF, direct manual focus, or manual focus modes. It does not support doing it in continuous autofocus. Realistically, this limits its usefulness; there likely […]

The Sigma SD9 was announced in February 2002, just days after Foveon had revealed the X3 technology for which it would become known.

And, while we've seen alternatives and variations of the Bayer color filter pattern, the SD9 represented one of the most concerted attempts to offer a […]
