The Nikon D810 replaces both the D800 and D800E, and the changes that Nikon has made in the new DSLR are significant. There’s no OLPF to get in the way of resolution, and as well as a lower base and higher maximum ISO sensitivity the D810 is 25% faster than its forebears, offers a slightly improved AF system and boasts 1080/60p video with built-in stereo recording. We had a chance to get our hands on a pre-production D810 recently, and we’ve prepared a detailed look at its key features. Click through to read our First Impressions Review

Budget M43: Kodak Pixpro S-1 First Impressions Review
Kodak is arguably the most famous name of all in photography, but it ultimately failed to manage the transition from film to digital, and ended up exiting the consumer imaging business altogether in 2013. But now JK Imaging, which licenses the Kodak name, has created an interchangeable lens camera. The Pixpro S-1 is an entry-level model that’s designed to attract budding photographers who are buying their first system camera. Click through to read our first impressions.

Super Sized: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 First Impressions Review
Up until now, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 was the only game in town for those seeking a big zoom camera with a larger-than-average sensor. Panasonic has thrown its hat into the ring with the Lumix DMC-FZ1000, which offers a 1″-type, 20.1MP CMOS sensor, plus a longer (but slightly slower) zoom lens. The FZ1000 is also the first compact camera to support 4K video recording. Perhaps the biggest story is the price: $ 899. We’ve gotten our mitts on a product model and have some initial thoughts to share. Find out more

Studio Samples added to Sony Cyber-shot RX100 III First Impressions
We’ve just gotten ahold of a full-production Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 III and we’ve added studio test scene images to our first impressions review. This third generation of Sony’s much-acclaimed enthusiast compact features a 20.1 megapixel 1″-type BSI-CMOS sensor, a pop-up electronic viewfinder and a more consistently fast 24-70mm equivalent F1.8-2.8 lens than its predecessor.

Faster glass: Sony RX100 III First Impressions Review
Few compact cameras have garnered as much attention as the Sony Cyber-shot RX100 and RX100 II. Sony had managed to squeeze a much bigger sensor into cameras only a little larger than the Canon S-series enthusiast compacts. The RX100 III continues the tradition by adding a wider, faster 24-70mm F1.8-2.8 lens and a built-in, pop-up EVF. Along with a 20MP 1″-type sensor, does the RX100 III remain the ultimate compact for enthusiasts? Learn more in our First Impressions Review

A newfound focus: Sony SLT-A77 II First Impressions Review
It may look the same as its predecessor, but the Sony SLT-A77 II’s insides are quite a bit different. Featuring a new 24MP CMOS sensor and image processor, along with a dramatically improved AF system, this SLT could be one of the best subject-tracking cameras out there. While we’ve yet to test its performance, we did spend some brief time with the a77 II and have put together our first impressions.

All teed up: Leica T First Impressions Review
Leica’s new T (Typ 701) is the company’s first mirrorless interchangeable lens camera with autofocus. While its ‘guts’ aren’t much different than other cameras in its class, the hand-built body is all Leica. We’ve been able to spend some quality time with the German manufacturer’s latest baby, and have put together our first impressions of it. Find out what we think of it thus far.

Canon G1 X Mark II First Impressions Review
Canon’s PowerShot G1 X Mark II is an intriguing update. It keeps the 1.5″-type sensor from its predecessor, but adds a faster processor, longer and brighter lens, tilting LCD, dual control rings and has Wi-Fi with NFC. The big change for 2014 is no more optical viewfinder. Our first impressions review covers the usual aspects of the camera (Controls, Body and Design, etc.), but also has our Shooting Experience report where we talk about it handles in the real-world.
