Samsung’s Galaxy Note 3 makes good on the promise of the ‘phablet’ thanks to its huge, high-resolution screen and its muscular processing. But how does it fare as a camera? We put the super-sized smartphone through its photographic paces on connect.dpreview.com.
Dutch photographer and urban exploration specialist Niki Feijen goes behind “do not enter” signs on dilapidated houses to document furniture, clothes, and other ornaments left behind by their former owners. His eerie HDR images reveal remnants of life in rooms across western Europe that are now left to decay. Frozen in time, it’s hard not to imagine the people that once occupied the spaces. See gallery
Of all the major camera manufacturers, Sony has the most new products on show at the Photo Plus Expo in New York, after the flurry of new Alpha and RX-series cameras released in the past couple of months. We had a fascinating (and fun) interview this morning with Kimio Maki, the brains behind the A7 and RX lines which we’ll be writing up soon, but in the meantime, click through for a quick tour of the new cameras.
We’re still working on our review of the Nikon D610, but recently shot some real-world samples to see if the most recent update still retains the same top-notch photo quality found in last year’s D600. Click through for a link to our real-world gallery taken in a range of different environments and our test scene images.
The rumors of Nikon creating a stripped-down, film-era-style camera are exciting because it’s something people have been calling on for years.

We’re at Photo Plus Expo in New York, having meetings and learning about all the new products that have recently been announced (and some which are still under wraps). Panasonic’s new GM1 is one of the hottest new cameras at this year’s show, inheriting a lot of technology from the GX7, and yesterday afternoon we stopped by the stand to get our hands on the gear. Click through for a quick tour of two of Panasonic’s latest M43 cameras.
Buried among all of the cameras announced last week was a new 24-105 F4 DG OS HSM lens from Sigma.

You’ll be able to pick one up for yourself starting next month at a retail price of $ 899.

We’re running around the show having meetings and trying out all of the latest gear, and we made sure to stop by and say hi to Fujifilm. Click through for a quick hands-on look at the latest products.
Dubble, a new community-based photography app takes the concept of double exposures — either a trick or a mistake in which photographers expose a roll of film twice, thereby layering two images in a single frame — and applies it to your smartphone, with a crowdsourcing twist. We take a closer look at Dubble on connect.dpreview.com.
We’re at the Photo Plus Expo in New York, and this morning we got an opportunity to look at Manfrotto’s new 190-series tripods. The 190 series has been among Manfrotto’s most popular products for a long time, and the recently-announced updates take up less space when folded, and add some interesting and well thought-out improvements to the design. Click through for a quick hands-on at the new Manfrotto 190-series.
