Not long ago, you made your stand as a ‘serious’ amateur photographer by using a medium format camera. Compacts and SLRs existed of course, but the graduation from 35mm film to 120 or 220 formats meant that you had really made it. These days, digital medium format cameras occupy a niche in the market, but the allure is still there.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 IV added to studio test scene comparison
Sony’s latest RX100, the Cyber-shot RX100 IV, brings the manufacturer’s stacked CMOS sensor design to the 1″-type sensor size for the first time. The 20MP chip, also in the Cyber-shot RX10 II, pushes all the pixel circuitry onto a separate layer, creating room for high-speed processing within the chip. See how it performs against its peers in our studio test scene. Read more

Production Canon EOS 5DS and 5DS R added to studio test scene
We’ve updated our Canon EOS 5DS/5DS R First Impressions to include studio test samples from final production versions of the cameras. The 5DS and 5DS R share a 50MP full-frame CMOS sensor and are identical in every way except for one: the 5DS contains an anti-aliasing filter, while the 5DS R has a self-canceling filter. While we’ve previously tested a beta version of the 5DS R, we’ve finally been able to put final production versions of the two cameras through our studio. Read more

Super Zoom? Tamron SP 150-600mm F5.0-6.3 Di VC USD Field Test
Tamron announced the SP 150-600mm F5-6.3 Di VC USD at the end of 2013, and as one of the cheapest ways to reach past a 400mm focal length, it quickly became popular with amateur wildlife and sports photographers. We’ve previously published a lab test for this lens, but in order to get the complete impression, we wanted to spend some time with it out in the field. Read more

Nikon 1 J5 and Samsung NX500 added to studio test scene
We’ve just added a pair of compact mirrorless cameras to our studio test scene – the Nikon 1 J5 and Samsung NX500. The J5 brings a 1″-type 20.8MP BSI-CMOS sensor to Nikon’s entry-level mirrorless lineup. The NX500 is Samsung’s scaled down version of its flagship NX1, using the same 28MP APS-C BSI-CMOS sensor. See how each camera performs in our studio scene. Read more

Canon EOS Rebel T6s/T6i added to studio test scene comparison
The Canon EOS Rebel T6s and T6i (760D and 750D) have been in our hands long enough to put together a couple of real-world sample galleries, and now we’ve added the cameras to our studio test scene comparison tool. The new 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor that these cameras share represents a step forward for Canon’s Rebel lineup, which had been using an 18MP chip since the T2i. Read more

Dynamic range test added to Canon EOS 5DS R First Impressions Review
Canon’s EOS 5DS R tops anything we’ve seen in its class for resolution, but that’s only part of the image quality equation. We put its 50MP sensor to the test in our Raw dynamic range studio and real-world tests. Take a look at the kind of performance you might expect from the 5DS R’s (enormous) Raw files. Read more

Field Test: Sigma 19mm, 30mm and 60mm F2.8 DN lenses
Sigma’s 19mm F2.8 DN, 30mm F2.8 DN and 60mm F2.8 DN Art lenses were launched at the CP+ show in Yokohama way back in January 2013. We’ve been using these inexpensive primes on both Sony E-mount and Micxro Four Thirds cameras for a while now, and our man in London, Damien Demolder has written up his impressions. We pooled our sample images for this field test. Read more
