Canon’s PowerShot G9 X and G5 X offer two distinctly different shooting experiences, but are based around the same 20.2MP 1″-type sensor. The G5 X provides an SLR-style grip and an EVF with a 24-100mm equiv. F1.8-2.8 lens, while the smaller G9 X offers a 28-84mm equiv. F2.0-4.9 lens. We’ve put them through our standard studio scene testing, and we’ve also assembled a gallery of real-world samples from the G9 X. Read more

We’re all stoked about the new 6s camera, but have you taken a minute to appreciate just how far the iPhone has come, camera-wise?
Well Lisa Bettany has taken her appreciation to a visual level with an actual side-by-side comparison. Check out her full article here.
We love seeing the evolution of clarity and contrast across the generations. What really blew us away though, was the significantly improved white-balance. For instance, clarity took a huge step forward on the 3Gs, but white-balance went haywire. Things cooled down with the iPhone 4, and everything improved, step-by-step, up to the impeccable iPhone 6s.
Thanks to Lisa, we now have a real appreciation for how lucky we are to live in the future.

If you’re looking to upgrade from your kit lens the 24-70 f/2.8 lens is a common choice. It’s got a good range zoom and wide largest aperture of f/2.8 for the entire range. But which one to choose? Brand name or third party?
In this video Matthew Gore does a really comprehensive lens comparison between the brand name Canon brand name version, and the Tamron third party one. He takes a look at focusing and how much noise each produce, sharpness at different focal lengths and apertures and chromatic aberration.
There is a significant price difference, as he mentioned. Take a look at both:
Also available are:
At $ 600 more (almost 50% higher) is it worth it to you? See which he recommends in the video and which he would purchase and why.
Do you own one of these lenses? Which one and why did you select it? Please share your thoughts in the comments on whether you feel the third party lenses measure up to brand name ones.
