    G6previewblock.jpg

    We’ve just posted our Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6 preview, covering Panasonic’s newest Micro Four Thirds mirrorless interchangeable lens camera. The G6 comes barely a year after the G5, and offers several updates, including a 1.44 million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder and the same sensor as the GH2. Its body has also been restyled and the touch-sensitive technology of its fully-articulated screen has been upgraded. Like its little brother the GF6, the G6 also includes built-in Wi-Fi connectivity with Near Field Communication (NFC). Click through for our hands-on preview.

    We’ve extended our Ricoh GR Preview with additional comparisons, studio shots, a larger gallery and more details on the camera’s behavior. We’ve shot our standard test scene with both the Ricoh and Sigma’s DP1 Merrill, and added the DP1M to the comparison using our forthcoming test scene. Furthermore we’ve shot the GR next to the Coolpix A in a real-world setting. Click here for all this and more.

    Just posted: Our hands-on preview of Fujifilm’s latest telephoto zoom lens, the Fujinon 55-200mm F3.5-4.8 R LM OIS. Designed for the company’s X-system mirrorless cameras, it offers an 83-300mm equivalent angle of view, and a relatively fast maximum aperture. It also includes optical image stabilisation and two linear stepper motors for quiet focusing. Click through to read our detailed preview for more information.

    Just posted: Our hands-on preview of the Ricoh GR. The GR is the spiritual successor to the GR Digital series and features a 16MP APS-C sensor behind its 28mm equivalent, F2.8 lens. It’s the first product to show signs of post-merger integration at Pentax-Ricoh, gaining the Pentax TAv exposure mode but retaining a host of traditional Ricoh features. We’ve been shooting with a production GR alongside the Nikon Coolpix A, click to find out more.

  • Just posted: Canon EOS 100D / Rebel SL1 preview samples gallery

    100d-gallery-frontpage.jpg

    Just posted: Our Canon EOS 100D (Rebel SL1) preview samples gallery. We’ve been lucky enough to get our hands on a pre-production sample of Canon’s latest miniaturised SLR, and have assembled a quick samples gallery to give an idea of how it performs. We’ve shot using the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM and EF 40mm f/2.8 STM pancake lenses, and aimed to cover a variety of subjects and lighting conditions. The pre-production camera used offers ‘Beta’ standard image quality, so may not fully reflect the final image quality (although it’s unlikely to be radically different).

  • Just Posted: Panasonic Lumic DMC-GF6 hands-on preview

    Just Posted: Our hands-on Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF6 preview. The GF6 expands the capabilities of Panasonic’s GF series away from the point-and-shoot focus that it had increasingly pursued. The latest model adds a more sophisticated touch-screen and additional control points that will benefit a range of users but it’s the NFC-mediated Wi-Fi system that we found really interesting. Add this on top of the 16MP sensor from the GX1 and you have an interesting combination of features. Click through to find out more.

    We’ve just updated our preview of the Nikon Coolpix A with a full set of studio shots, showing image quality in both JPEG and RAW capture modes. This is in addition to a gallery of real-world samples, and first impressions of our initial findings from shooting with the camera both in and out of the studio. The Nikon Coolpix A features a 16MP CMOS sensor, and a fixed, 28mm equivalent F2.8 lens. Click through for a link to our preview, which now includes our studio comparison pages.

  • Nikon D7100 preview updated with a look at effect of OLPF omission

    D7100_18_105_front.png

    In the course of preparing our in-depth review of the Nikon D7100, we’re exploring the potential image quality advantages of Nikon’s decision to forgo an optical low pass filter (OLPF). As part of this process, we compared the D7100 alongside the Nikon D5200, which also uses a 24MP APS-C sensor, but includes an OLPF and have just added the results to our hands-on preview. Does the D7100’s lack of OLPF really make a difference? Click through to read what we’ve found.

  • Studio comparison pages added to Fujifilm X100S Preview

    fujifilm_x100s.png

    We’ve just added three pages of studio test data to our preview of the Fujifilm X100S, following the publication of a gallery of real-world samples, last week. The X100S is the successor to the popular X100, and offers a fixed 35mm (equiv.) F2 lens, and a version of Fujifilm’s APS-C format X-Trans sensor with hybrid phase-detection AF. A host of other, smaller improvements should make the X100S a considerably more appealing camera than its predecessor. Click through for a link to the updated preview to see for yourself how it compares to its peers in our studio.

  • Nikon D7100 preview updated with studio scene and real world samples

    D7100_18_105_front.png

    We’ve just received a reviewable Nikon D7100, and have been lucky enough to get access to pre-release raw support from Adobe, which has allowed us to add Nikon’s newest 24MP DSLR to our studio comparison database. We’ve also taken advantage of our first opportunity to shoot ‘real world’ images with the D7100 and its 18-105 kit lens at a range of ISO sensitivities. Click through for links to both the studio comparisons and real-world samples gallery.
