Samsung’s NX Mini is the slimmest and lightest interchangeable lens camera on the market. It packs a 1″-type, 20MP CMOS sensor into its body, along with Wi-Fi with NFC and 1080/30p video. With the NX Mini, Samsung also introduced a new NX-M lens mount. We’ve been shooting with the 9mm F3.5 (24.3mm equivalent) prime on the camera and having some fun with the Mini’s flip up LCD for the occasional ‘selfie’. See gallery

We’ve been shooting with the Fujinon XF 56mm F1.2 R – the fast 85mm equivalent prime lens for Fujifilm’s X mount mirrorless cameras. Its F1.2 aperture means it gives similarly shallow depth-of-field to an 85mm F1.8 lens on a full frame body, making it an ideal portrait or low light lens. We also spent time using the X-E2 with an advance version of firmware v2.0 while putting this gallery together. See gallery and read about our experience with the update

The 50mm F1.4 DG HSM is Sigma’s latest fast normal prime for full-frame cameras, and one of the most hotly-anticipated lenses of the year. But how does it perform in real-world use? We’ve been using the lens for a couple of days, and put together a gallery of samples. We’ve concentrated on large-aperture shots to show sharpness and bokeh, but have also included several taken at smaller apertures. See photos

The Olympus Stylus SH-1 brings the manufacturer’s well-regarded 5-axis image stabilization to a fixed lens compact for the first time. The SH-1 looks the part too with its Pen-inspired styling, and offers a substantial 28-300mm equivalent zoom. Who could resist taking it for a spin? That’s exactly what we did, and we’ve come back with a gallery of real-world samples to prove it. See photos

The Samsung NX30 is a midrange mirrorless camera that features a 20.3MP CMOS sensor and the company’s latest DRIMeIV processor. The NX30 has a Hybrid AF system that combines on-chip phase detection with more traditional contrast detection and photos can be composed on a fully articulating 3-inch AMOLED display or a unique pull-out, tilting electronic viewfinder. We’ve spent some time with a production sample to see how it performs out in the real world.

The Nikon D3300 continues on the path of its entry-level DSLR predecessors, with plenty of built-in shooting and retouch modes, a small footprint, and beginner-friendly user interface. It has a 24.2 megapixel CMOS sensor with no optical low-pass filter, as well as an Expeed 4 image processor. The camera’s ISO range tops out at 25,600 and with continuous shooting up to 5 fps. We’ve been out and about with the D3300, shooting everyday situations and family life. See gallery

Nikon’s new collapsible kit zoom, the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II rolled into our office Friday afternoon and we took it for a spin over the weekend. Like similar designs used in mirrorless kit lenses, the 18-55mm VR II twists to expand when you’re ready to shoot, and contracts into a more compact ‘at rest’ state. It’s a natural companion for Nikon’s consumer-level bodies including the D5300. While we put the finishing touches to our D5300 review, we used that camera to put together a gallery of real-world samples. See gallery
