Best Photos of 2017 by JMG-Galleries Blog Readers
Get ready to start 2018 off on the right foot with some creative inspiration. The results of my 11th annual Best of Photos project hopefully will provide just that by introducing you to photographers and their work from all over the world. Get ready to travel around the world in 100+ links.

For those who are new to my blog project, photographers taking part span the gamut of photo enthusiasts to professionals. The great thing about photography is that no matter what your skill level we all can relate equally in our love for the art of photography and visually exploring. With that in mind I encourage you to reach out to photographers whose work you enjoy to keep sharing & growing as an artist. I am incredibly thankful that this tradition has been embraced and enjoy seeing how familiar faces have evolved their work & grown over the years. I hope reviewing your best photos of the year and comparing them to years pasts keeps you inspired and aware of your progress as a photographer.

If you’d like to take part next year and be informed when submissions open for the “Best Photos of 2017? blog project add your name to my mail list. You won’t be spammed. I send out newsletters quite infrequently.

Thank to everyone who took part! I invite you to visit each link below as I have and introduce yourself to many of the participating photographers.

The 19 Most Popular DSLRs Among our Readers
Every few months we like to report back to the dPS community which cameras (and other gear) are most popular with our readers. Today we’re going to take a look at the highest selling DSLRs among our readers over the last 4 months (as ranked by the reports that Amazon gives us*).

As usual you’ll see it is largely a battle between Canon and Nikon (who dominate this class of camera) and that at the top of the list we see entry level DSLRS most popular (mainly due to their price). Further down the list we see more serious (and expensive) contenders.

1. Canon EOS Rebel T6i

2. Nikon D750

3. Nikon D850

4. Nikon D3400

5. Canon EOS 6D Mark II

6. Canon EOS Rebel T5

7. Canon EOS 5D Mark IV

8. Nikon D5500

9. Canon EOS 80D

10. Nikon D5300

And here are the next 9 most popular DSLRs.
1. Canon EOS Rebel T7i
2. Canon EOS Rebel T5i
3. Nikon D5600
4. Canon EOS 77D
5. Nikon D7200
6. Canon EOS Rebel SL2
7. Nikon D500
8. Canon EOS 6D
9. Nikon D3300

One of the ways dPS is able to cover its costs and be a sustainable business is that we earn a small commission when readers make a purchase from Amazon after clicking on our links (including those above). While no personal details are passed on we do get an overall report from Amazon about what was bought and are able to create this list.

The 19 Most Popular Compact System and Mirrorless Cameras with Our Readers
Earlier in the week we revealed the DSLRs that were best selling among our readers over the last few months. While DSLRs are still the most popular type of readers among our readers this last quarter has seen a big rise in the number of you using compact system/mirrorless cameras.

In fact if we combined the two lists we’d now see compact system cameras in the top 20 cameras bought by our readers with the Sony Alpha a6000 and the Sony Alpha a7II both making that list.

Also an indication of the growth of sales in the compact system camera class of camera is that today we’re listing 19 of them while last time we created this list we only saw enough sales to justify making it a list of 9 cameras.

Here are the most popular compact system cameras among our readers!

Note: we’ve included cameras with interchangeable lenses and fixed lenses in this list.

This post was last updated 23 November 2017

1. Sony Alpha a6000

2. Panasonic LUMIX G7

3. Sony Alpha a6500

4. Sony a7R III

Note: this camera made the list based purely upon pre-orders – it’s one of the most anticipated mirrorless cameras ever.

5. Sony a5100

6. Sony Alpha a6300

7. Fujifilm X-T20

8. Sony Alpha a7II

9. Panasonic LUMIX DMC-G85

10. Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II

That’s our top 10 – here are the next 9 most popular compact camera systems.
1. Sony a7
2. Panasonic Lumix GH5
3. Panasonic Lumix GH4
4. Sony a7R II
5. Sony Alpha a7S II
6. Canon EOS M100
7. Fujifilm X-Pro2
8. Fujifilm X-E3
9. Samsung NX500

Best Photos of 2016 by JMG-Galleries Blog Readers
Best Instagram Photos 2016

What better way to start 2017 than to be creatively inspired. The results of my 10th annual Best of Photos project hopefully will do just that by introducing you to photographers and their work from all over the world. Many of my blog readers are photo enthusiasts and many are seasoned professionals, but the great thing about photography is that no matter what your experience level we all can relate equally in our love for the art of photography and visually exploring. With that in mind I encourage you to reach out to photographers whose work you enjoy to keep sharing & growing as an artist. I am incredibly thankful that this tradition has been embraced and enjoy seeing how familiar faces have evolved their work & grown over the years. I hope reviewing your best photos of the year and comparing them to years pasts keeps you inspired and aware of your progress as a photographer.

If you’d like to take part next year and be informed when submissions open for the “Best Photos of 2017? blog project add your name to my mail list. You won’t be spammed. I send out newsletters quite infrequently.

Thank to everyone who took part! I invite you to visit each link below as I have and introduce yourself to many of the participating photographers.

Readers’ Choice Awards 2016: the winners

Readers’ Choice Awards 2016: The Winners

At the end of last year we asked you to vote for the best cameras and lenses of 2016. Across two rounds of voting DPReview readers did just that, selecting the top overall photography products of the year. With more than 40,000 votes in multiple categories, the final poll closed at midnight on New Years’ eve. So without further ado, find out which products made the final cut for Best Product of 2016.

Runner-up: Nikon AF-S 105mm F1.4E

In third place in our final poll is the Nikon AF-S 105mm F1.4E, just edging out the Olympus M.Zuiko 12-100mm F4 with 8.2% of the vote. We love this lens for the results it can deliver, especially for portraits.

Learn more about the Nikon AF-S 105mm F1.4E

Runner-up: Fujifilm X-T2

In the runner-up position, coming second in our final poll is the Fujifilm X-T2. We really like the Fujifilm X-T2 and it’s clear that you feel the same. The X-T2 also took the runner-up spot in our poll for best high-end / professional ILC.

Learn more about the Fujifilm X-T2

Winner: Nikon D500

It was our Product of the Year and now that the votes have been counted, we know it was yours too. Taking home a full quarter of the final vote (25.4% for the pedants) the D500 was a clear winner, pipping the X-T2 to take first place in our poll. If you’d read this far, you already know why. The D500 is one of the most capable DSLRs we’ve ever reviewed, and its price and capability make it arguably the best enthusiast ILC on the market.

Thanks to everyone that voted, and we hope that you’re all looking forward to more great gear in 2017!

2016 DPReview Readers’ Best Shots: Things

2016 DPReview Readers’ Best Shots: Things

Picking your favorite image is never an easy task. Nevertheless, our readers were up to the challenge when we asked them to submit their best shots of 2016. We received a huge number of submissions, and it was no small job picking favorites. We didn’t need the reminder, but it underscored just how talented our readership is. Photos were divided into three categories and we settled on a small selection to feature in each.

This category, ‘things,’ is admittedly a little ambiguous. With apologies to our feathered and furry friends, animals fell into this category, as did just about anything else that isn’t a landscape or a portrait. We tried to include a variety of subjects, and there were many excellent images submitted – check them all out here and here.

A huge thanks to everyone that participated and gave us a chance to see your work!

2016 DPReview Readers’ Best Shots: Things

Taken on April 1st 2016 in the evening during the Silverstone 24hr Race. I wasn’t accredited so this was taken through the fence. I used an extremely slow shutter speed to blur the unsightly background and add a sense of movement. Fujifilm X-T10 & XF100-400mm F4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR. 100mm. Shutter Priority @ 1/15sec.

2016 DPReview Readers’ Best Shots: Things

Taken in San Ignacio Lagoon, Baja California, Mexico. In this lagoon a few mother and calf grey whale pairs will come up to the fishermen’s boats to play which normally means getting you wet. I took this shot with a Panasonic FT5 waterproof compact (as I said, you get wet!) which I held over the side as a calf surfaced on its side alongside the boat. The camera was at maximum wide angle.

2016 DPReview Readers’ Best Shots: Things

I made this photo during a late-August visit to northern Arizona’s Mormon Lake. This was one of four juvenile red-tailed hawks riding the summer breeze above the east rim overlooking the lake. This one was quite curious and soared in, close, to size me up for a late-day snack. When I got home and started going through the exposures, I was hoping this one didn’t cut off any tail feathers. As it turned out the framing was just about perfect and the result is the uncropped image above.
