    Just posted: Our Canon EOS 100D (Rebel SL1) preview samples gallery. We’ve been lucky enough to get our hands on a pre-production sample of Canon’s latest miniaturised SLR, and have assembled a quick samples gallery to give an idea of how it performs. We’ve shot using the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM and EF 40mm f/2.8 STM pancake lenses, and aimed to cover a variety of subjects and lighting conditions. The pre-production camera used offers ‘Beta’ standard image quality, so may not fully reflect the final image quality (although it’s unlikely to be radically different).

    GF6k_front_H_FS1442A.png

    Panasonic has announced the Lumix DMC-GF6 – a 16MP entry-level mirrorless camera with Wi-Fi. Like many of its competitors it has a capacitive touchscreen, that can tilt both downwards and upwards to face forwards for self-portraits. It gains a compact-camera style zoom lever around the shutter release that can alternatively be used to set exposure compensation, and an exposure mode dial on the top plate. It’s also the first interchangeable lens camera with Near Field Communication (NFC) that allows setup of Wi-Fi connections with compatible smartphones and tablets, simply by tapping the devices together. Movie recording is available at 1080p30 in either MP4 or AVCHD format.

    Just Posted: Our hands-on Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF6 preview. The GF6 expands the capabilities of Panasonic’s GF series away from the point-and-shoot focus that it had increasingly pursued. The latest model adds a more sophisticated touch-screen and additional control points that will benefit a range of users but it’s the NFC-mediated Wi-Fi system that we found really interesting. Add this on top of the 16MP sensor from the GX1 and you have an interesting combination of features. Click through to find out more.
