Samsung has just taken the wraps off a new mirrorless camera, which inherits most of the features from the company’s flagship NX1. The NX500 takes a lot of the core features of the NX1 and wraps them up in a much smaller, rangefinder-style body at a lower cost. We got our hands on an NX1 recently, to get a feel for how this new camera feels and operates. Click through for some images

Fujifilm has announced the X-A2, a new version of its X-A1 budget X-series mirrorless interchangeable lens camera, which incorporates mostly minor changes compared to its predecessor. Like the X-A1, the X-A2 uses a conventional Bayer-pattern CMOS sensor and offers virtually identical ergonomics but now comes with an LCD screen which tilts upwards to 175-degrees for selfies. Other improvements include the addition of Fujifilm’s new ‘Classic Chrome’ film simulation mode. Click through for some images

It’s been on Fujifilm’s X-series roadmap for a while, but now it’s real – the XF 16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR is a 24-83mm equivalent, weather-sealed standard zoom for Fujifilm’s high-end X-series interchangeable lens cameras, which offers a fast maximum aperture of F2.8 throughout its zoom range. As CES gets started in Las Vegas, we grabbed a few minutes with the new zoom. Click through for some images

Nikon’s D5500 is, on the face of it a pretty minor update to the D5300, but with the key addition of a touch-sensitive rear LCD screen and slightly altered ergonomics. In almost every other respect the D5500 is a compact, lightweight 24MP entry-level DSLR cut from almost exactly the same cloth as its predecessor. We’re at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where we got our hands on a pre-production camera. Click through for some pictures

Some companies (you know who I mean) are slow, stodgy, conservative and cautious. None of these adjectives can be applied to Sony. They are impetious, aggressive, innovative and overall risk takers. If they screw up, as they sometimes do, they simply brush themselves off and forge ahead. With the recently introduced Sony A7 MKII we see a continuing evolution of what was once the NEX brand and is now just Sony’s Alpha brand using the new full frame FE mount.
I have had a week to work with the new MKII. With its redesigned body, in-body stabilization and superior autofocus this is the best 7 series camera yet, and one of the most interesting new cameras of 2014. I already have one on order.

The Luminous Landscape – What’s New
Larry Becker discusses the new Canon EOS 7D Mark II DSLR. He explores the camera’s many high-performance features, including its dual DIGIC 6 processors, 20.2MP APS-C sensor, full HD video capture, and fast, accurate autofocus. He also demonstrates many of the “hidden” features that make this camera a welcomed update to the groundbreaking EOS 7D.
Are you ordering one? Or maybe you already have one on pre-order?
I know a few photographers that do weddings and shoot sports and action that are really excited about the focus and drive on this new Canon body. What are your thoughts?
The post Canon EOS 7D Mark II – Hands-On Review by Darlene Hildebrandt appeared first on Digital Photography School.
When Panasonic came to see us recently in our Seattle offices we were expecting the much-rumored LX8. That didn’t happen, but what we saw was quite a surprise. The LX100 is one of Panasonic’s most ambitious cameras yet, marrying a Four Thirds sensor with a 24-75mm (equivalent) F1.7-2.8 lens, in a body not much bigger than that of the LX7. Full manual control, a built-in EVF and 4K video round-out the specification sheet nicely. Click through for a hands-on tour of the new camera.

How does the idea of capturing 100 19MP Raw files per second sound? That’s what RED’s latest camera, the RED Dragon can do, courtesy of its 6K video capture mode. Fully modular, the RED Dragon can be adapted to accept a multitude of lens mounts, and although intended for professional movie shooting, its still image quality is seriously impressive too. We got a quick tour of RED’s latest magic machines at the company’s stand.

Canon has been busy – its latest high-end compact, the PowerShot G7 X slots in beneath the G1 X Mark II, and offers a 20MP 1′-type sensor, 24-100mm equivalent F1.8-2.8 zoom lens and a host of other enthusiast-friendly features. We spoke to Canon recently and got access to a pre-production G7 X. Click through for a hands-on tour of the new camera.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GM5 borrows the styling of the fashion conscious GM1, but adds enough additional control to give it broader appeal. So while it’s still a smart, diminutive thing, Panasonic has found room for a viewfinder, control dial and hotshoe. We look at the two cameras side by side and examine the changes that’ve been made at the petite end of the Micro Four Thirds range.
