Just Posted: Our Nikon Coolpix A review

06 Jun

Just posted: Our review of the Nikon Coolpix A. With a 28mm-equivalent wideangle lens, and the same 16MP DX format sensor as used by the D7000 SLR, the Coolpix A is designed as a serious compact camera capable of professional-quality results. But it’s up against stiff competition, in the shape of the similarly-specified but cheaper Ricoh GR that was announced a month later. In our 16-page comparative review, we take a detailed at how the Coolpix A measures up to the challenge posed by its close rival.

Just posted: Our hands-on preview of the Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM. Canon’s third lens for its EOS M mirrorless camera is its first image-stabilized wideangle zoom, and first with a collapsible barrel design. With an 18-35mm equivalent angle of view and silent STM focusing, it could be an interesting option for photographers wanting the wider view but looking to travel light. Click through for our first look.

Just posted: In-depth HTC One review: Do ultrapixels offer more?

05 Jun

The HTC One smartphone made headlines with its claims about ‘ultrapixel technology,’ which the company used to describe the device’s 4MP CMOS sensor. While current competitors boast 8-13MP cameras, HTC is betting on fewer, larger pixels a same-sized sensor to offer better image quality. But does the innovative approach work? We’ve put the HTC One and its ultrapixels through our rigorous real life and studio testing trials to find out. See how it fared at connect.dpreview.com.

Just posted: Our Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM preview samples gallery

05 Jun

We’ve been lucky enough to get our hands on an early pre-production sample of one of the most anticipated lenses of the year, the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM, and bring you a gallery of full-resolution sample images shot with it. This lens is the fastest zoom ever made for SLRs and, in principle, should provide the depth-of-field control and low-light image quality on an APS-C DSLR that you’d get using an F2.8 zoom on 35mm full-frame. We’ve shot a samples gallery including a variety of subjects, using a range of apertures, focal lengths and subject distances, to try to give an initial flavor of how the lens performs.

Just Posted: Pentax K-5 II / K-5 IIS Review

04 Jun

We just posted a review of the Pentax K-5 II, which also covers its near-twin the K-5 IIS, a version of the camera that lacks an AA filter for higher resolution (in theory). Offering 16MP CMOS sensors, a unique shake reduction system, and a rugged weatherproof body, the Pentax K-5 II and K-5 IIS are compelling little cameras and in this review we’ll explore their various standout features, as well as look at the difference in image quality between the two models. Click through for a link to the full review.

We’ve just posted a review of the The Olympus PEN Mini E-PM2. The E-PM2 is an entry-level Micro Four Thirds system camera, with a 16MP CMOS sensor and full 1080 HD video. It’s one of the smallest mirrorless cameras on the market and boasts 8 frames per second continuous shooting. This second generation ‘Mini’ is effectively the image quality ‘guts’ of the OM-D in a compact, lightweight, novice-friendly form. Click through to find out what we think of it.

Just posted: Our review of the Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD. In our latest lens review produced in collaboration with DxOMark, we look at Tamron’s fast standard zoom for full frame cameras – the first in its class to include optical stabilisation. With its Ultrasonic Drive focus motor and drip-proof construction, it looks like a very tempting option for full frame shooters, especially as it costs rather less than its counterparts from Canon, Nikon or Sony. But is this all too good to be true? Click through to read our review and find out.

Just posted: Nikon D5200 in-depth review

17 May

IMG_7648v2.png

We’ve just posted our 20-page review of the Nikon D5200. Nikon’s ‘advanced beginner’ APS-C DSLR offers several features that should also appeal to enthusiasts, such as a 24MP CMOS sensor, a 39-point AF system inherited from the D7000 and an Auto ISO system linked to the focal length of the lens. Add an articulated rear LCD and the ability to output uncompressed video and you’ve got the makings of a very  promising camera. Does the D5200 live up to its potential in real-world use? Click through to read our in-depth review.

Just Posted: Detailed hands-on Olympus PEN E-P5 preview

Just Posted: Our detailed, hands-on Olympus PEN E-P5 preview. We’ve been using a pre-production E-P5 for the last few days and have had a dig beyond the specifications to discover how the latest range-topping PEN behaves. We investigate the camera’s latest features, including its easy-connect Wi-Fi, its degree of customization and its ‘2×2’ dial behavior. We also take a look at how it compares to the E-P3 and OM-D E-M5, and how the high resolution VF-4 handles on the E-P5 and existing models.

Screen_Shot_2013-05-03_at_4.10.35_PM.png

We’ve just posted a gallery of real-world samples from Pentax’s flagship compact camera, the MX-1. Announced earlier this year the MX-1 offers a 12MP backlit CMOS sensor, and a fast F1.8-2.5 lens which spans an equivalent focal range of 28-112mm. We wrote a detailed hands-on preview back in January and we’re working on putting the camera through our usual gamut of studio and real-world testing. For now, we hope you enjoy this small gallery of samples which – if nothing else – proves that the sun does occasionally come out in Seattle.
