Just Posted: Panasonic DMC-FZ47 preview real-world samples gallery. We’ve had Panasonic’s latest FZ-series superzoom for the past few days. The FZ47 (FZ48 in Europe) is based around a 12MP CCD sensor and offers a 24x zoom, covering a range equivalent to a 25-600mm lens. We shot in a variety of situations, including a floodlit football match, to show what that combination can and can’t do. We’ve also prepared a series of images at all the camera’s different ISO settings and taken test shots using several of its noise reduction settings, to give a feel for the image quality options available on this JPEG-only model.

Just Posted: our group test of travel zoom compact cameras. The travel zoom/compact super zoom category is one of the great success stories of recent years, with all the major manufacturers offering at least one small camera with at least a 10x zoom. And that success is understandable – few other camera types offer such a balance between size, price and flexibility. We’ve looked at thirteen of the latest models and narrowed these down to a shortlist of six for the full review treatment. Our 18-page grouptest shows how these six perform in a variety of situations, but all thirteen have both real-world samples and studio comparisons. Click here to find out what we thought and which cameras prevailed.

Fixing the Shadows – Part 2 of 4 Fixing the Shadows tells the story of the birth of photography itself and the profound question that it raised, and which has never been satisfactorily answered: what is photography for? Detailing the rival methods of the pioneers Henry Fox Talbot and Louis Daguerre for ‘fixing the shadows’, the programme examines how photography took its place alongside other new technologies like the railway and telegraph to transform our understanding of the modern world. It describes how pioneer photographers like the portraitist Nadar asserted the status of photography as an art only for this status to be transformed by the Kodak revolution, which put the camera into the hands of the masses who unlocked its potential for surreality, randomness and surprise. Finally it examines the case of Jacques-Henri Lartigue, the schoolboy photographer who demonstrated the true genius of photography in the hands of the amateur. Includes interviews with Chuck Close and David Byrne.

Just Posted: Our AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 G sample gallery. We’ve had access to Nikon’s latest inexpensive 50mm prime lens for a couple of weeks and have put together a 41-image sample gallery to show some of what it can do. The AF-S G version means there’s finally an inexpensive Nikon 50mm lens that will autofocus on the company’s entry-level bodies, such as the D40, D60, D3100 and D5100. Here we’ve shot it using both the DX D7000 and the FX D3S to show how it performs on both formats.

Just posted: Our in-depth review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3. The G3 is Panasonic’s smallest EVF-equipped G-series camera so far, and also the second highest-resolution in the range. At the core of the G3 is a brand new 15.8MP sensor, making it the first mass-market model to step away from the ageing 12MP chip. Like the G2, it features an articulated, touch-sensitive LCD screen but inherits its interface from the GF2 to make the camera ever-more accessible to beginners. On paper, the G3 is an appealing combination of enthusiast-oriented specification and beginner-friendly ergonomics – read our in-depth review to find out how it performs.

Just Posted: our revised Fujifilm X100 review. Amongst the changes listed in Fujifilm’s 1.10 firmware update for the FinePix X100 were several that addressed issues raised in our original in-depth review. To reflect this, we have gone back into the studio and re-tested the X100 to see just how much difference the changes make. Does the update allow the X100 to achieve its obvious potential as a high-quality luxury compact camera, or is it still too quirky to earn our outright recommendation? Read our extensively updated review to find out.

Just Posted: Our review of the Sony DSLR-A580

Just Posted: Our review of the Sony DSLR A580. With all the progress Sony has been making with its mirrorless and ‘translucent’ mirror technologies, it’s easy to overlook the company’s continued development of its two-sensor liveview DSLRs. The A580 is the latest (and possibly last?) in a line that started with the promising but quirky A350. The A550 was a big step forwards for these feature-packed enthusiast DSLRs and the A580 takes this progress further with the addition of Sony’s excellent 16MP sensor. Offering all the usual Sony processing cleverness – such as sweep panorama, in-camera HDR and multi-shot noise reduction – the only apparent cloud in its sky is the existence of the less expensive, full-time liveview sister model, the SLT A55. So, with an in-house competitor threatening to steal the A580’s liveview crown, can its more conventional DSLR design offer the best of both worlds?

Just Posted: Our in-depth Fujifilm X100 review. The X100 has been an object of fascination and desire amongst photography enthusiasts since it was unveiled at Photokina last September. The camera marries elegant retro looks with an advanced viewfinder and a well-respected sensor. A 35mm equivalent F2 lens completes this modern interpretation of the classic fixed-lens rangefinder concept. However, despite the undeniable attraction of the camera, it won’t come as shocking news to hear that it’s not an unqualified success. As a result, we’ve taken a little longer than usual over our review, partly because it’s a camera that requires some time to really appreciate it. Mainly though, we wanted to rigorously assess which drawbacks prove to be truely significant after extensive real-life use, and which ones you can be charmed into forgiving.

Just Posted: Canon EOS Rebel T3i / 600D in-depth review

Just Posted: Our review of the Canon Rebel T3i / EOS 600D enthusiast DSLR. Canon’s latest Rebel boasts an 18MP CMOS sensor and an articulated LCD screen in a body shell that combines elements of its predecessor the T2i and the higher-end EOS 60D. As well as the usual complement of manual and auto exposure modes for still photography, the T3i also features 1080p video recording (up to 30fps) with an external microphone socket. On paper, the T3i looks like a bargain – the 60D’s internals in a smaller, less expensive body. Is there any reason to still consider its big brother? Read our in-depth review to find out.
