Hands-on with new Olympus PRO 8mm and 7-14mm lenses

They’ve been on Olympus’s roadmap for a while, but today the company officially announced to new wideangle ‘Pro’ lenses – the The M.ZUIKO Digital ED 7-14mm f2.8 PRO and M.ZUIKO Digital ED 8mm Fisheye PRO. The 8mm fisheye is equivalent to a 16mm, while the 7-14mm covers an equivalent focal length range of 14-28mm.

Sony introduces touchless shutter app and we go hands-on (off?)

25 Apr

Sony has released a beta version of its Touchless Shutter app, immediately available for download through the PlayMemories app store. The app makes use of the eyepiece sensor as a shutter release mechanism and brings all the advantages of a traditional cable release without needing any extra camera gear. All that is needed is a hand wave near the eyepiece and the shutter will release. Read more

Hands-on with the Pentax K-3 II

23 Apr

The Pentax K-3 II is a modest update to its predecessor, but that doesn’t mean that its new features are insignificant. While faster autofocus and more shake reduction is great, we’re most excited about the Pixel Shift Resolution feature. While we can’t share any samples photographs yet, we can give you an overview of what’s new with the K-3 II. Read more

A Compact PEN: Olympus Stylus SH-2 Hands-on

11 Mar

The Olympus Stylus SH-2 is a compact long-zoom camera that bears a remarkable resemblance to the company’s PEN series of mirrorless cameras. While it shares the design and 5-axis image stabilization of some of the PEN models, the similarities end there, as the SH-2 is very much a point-and-shoot camera. Learn more about the SH-2 in our hands-on preview. Read more

Hands-on with Nikon D7200

02 Mar

Nikon’s new D7200 is an evolutionary upgrade to the D7100, and fixes one of the few major complaints about that model with an increased buffer depth. Other improvements are more subtle, but the addition of -3EV sensitivity to the D7200’s 51-point AF array will please low-light photographers. There’s also Wi-Fi with NFC, 1080/60p video, and improved battery life. Click through for some hands-on images

CP+ 2015: Hands-on with Tamron SP 15-30mm F/2.8 Di VC USD

14 Feb

We were intrigued by Tamron’s stabilized SP 15-30mm F/2.8 Di VC USD when we first saw it in prototype form at Photokina in September last year. In tbe meantime, Tamron has confirmed pricing and availability for this fast ultra-wideangle zoom and is showing off the new lens at Japan’s CP+ show in Yokohama. We’re there, and headed straight to Tamron’s booth on Saturday to get our hands on the new zoom. Click through for some images

CP+ 2015: Hands-on with new Pentax K-S2

12 Feb

The Pentax K-S2 doesn’t replace the K-S1, but sits above it in Ricoh’s Pentax lineup. And quite right too – it’s a considerably more serious camera, even if we do miss the shiny disco lights on the handgrip. We’re at the CP+ show in Yokohama Japan, where Ricoh is showing off its new 20MP APS-C DLSR, in all manner of color combinations. Click through for some hands-on images

Go wide! Hands-on with Canon’s 11-24mm F4 L

06 Feb

Canon’s new 11-24mm F4 L wideangle zoom lens has been a long time coming. Canon’s widest ever rectilinear zoom by some margin, the new 11-24mm may also challenge Nikon’s venerable 14-24mm F2.8 as the tool of choice for landscape, property and architectural photographers. We got our hands on a prototype recently at Canon’s US headquarters. Click through for a closer look
