It's been a very long time since Canon updated their flagship point and shoot camera, but today we're getting a refresh in the form of the new Canon Powershot G1x Mk III. And believe me, it's quite the step ahead.
If you look around at various reviews of the Nikon D850 on the web, they'll most likely rate it as one of the best cameras ever made thus far. In truth, it really does perform very admirably and it absolutely does have a great sensor at the heart.
The Sony 12-24mm f4 G FE was announced earlier this year hot on the heels of Sigma's own lens--and for the photographer who loves to shoot wide this lens could be the only lens you'll care to travel with.
Canon has always been a company that is a bit slower to change things, and so when the Canon 24-105mm f4 L IS USM II was announced, I was pleased to see that they did a number to fix many issues with the previous lens.
The Rokinon 35mm f2. 8 FE comes in at a significantly more affordable price point than what Sony's offering is--and the only major difference is its lack of weather sealing vs it's Sony counterpart.
For years now, I've never been a fan of LED strobes or flashes simply because they're just not powerful, but a new option called the PHOTONICZ ONE is promising to put that problem to rest. But it's also claiming that it can go a step beyond.

The Nikon D850 is the company's latest update to the Nikon D810 and brings with it a number of other pretty awesome features that are probably bound to keep Nikon users from going to something like a Sony a9 instead.
Portrait photography, in general, is one of the most popular niches in the industry and is often one of the first things a new photographer attempts to master as they hone their craft. But a key to making appealing portraits is making a good lens selection based on the look that you are attempting to produce.
The Tamron SP 70-200mm F2. 8 Di VC USD G2 is an entry point into one of the most popular telephoto zoom lens options out there--and it's actually a damned fantastic one. Tamron has always created lenses that are high quality, affordable, and built pretty well.
Last night, the world was graced with the brand new Tamron SP 24-70mm F2. 8 Di VC USD G2 lens. This lens is designed with internal weather sealing, image stabilization, and Tamron's fantastic optical quality.
The Tamron 10-24mm F3. 5-4. 5 Di II VC HLD is a lens that has been sorely needed for a while: it delivers a wide angle zoom option to APS-C DSLRs while putting in weather sealing, good autofocus performance, light weight, and overall great image quality.
In theory, the Tamron 18-400mm f3. 5-6. 3 Di II VC HLD could be pretty difficult to wrap your head around, but rest assured--it exists. Tamron just announced the new lens and it is quite the option for APS-C sensor DSLR owners.
The Manfrotto Manhattan 3-Way Shoulder Bag Changer 20 is a bag that I was wary and had predispositions about, but in the end I was honestly pleasantly surprised and rather infatuated with just how good of a camera bag Manfrotto managed to create.

The end of the point and shoot is very close; phones these days are just so darn good that many people don't need a point and shoot. But at the same time, you can surely find a way to make the point and shoot or compact camera much better.
The Fujifilm 120mm F4 R LM OIS WR Macro is one of the first lens offerings from the G Format lineup; and it's a pretty decent lens overall. In fact, there isn't a single major problem with it besides maybe its large size.
Of course, the closest thing to a normal prime lens had to be the first thing that Fujifilm announced for their Medium format G Format; and to that end we got the Fujifilm 63mm f2. 8 R WR lens.
With the announcement of the new Sony a9, the new Sony 100-400mm f4. 5-5. 6 G Master FE lens was slightly overshadowed by all the new tech in the camera. However, this new lens is also one that is very important for the specific crowd that that camera is targeted to.
The new Sony a9 is finally here; and it seems to be absolutely fantastic from a technology standpoint in many ways. To start with, it has a new stacked 24MP CMOS sensor and can shoot up to 20fps with a completely silent shutter.
Micro four thirds is such an interesting system in that we have this situation where both Panasonic and Olympus lenses work on each others cameras, and each come with their own pros and cons.

Canon, Nikon and Sony have always been at each others' throats when it comes to full frame DSLRs; but only recently did Pentax also finally step into the game. The Canon 5D Mk IV, Pentax K-1, Nikon D810 and the Sony a99 II are all fantastic cameras.
With the Sigma 12-24mm f4 DG HSM Art lens, you get a constant F4 aperture, a bit of weather sealing, a pretty good build quality overall despite heaviness, and really good image quality.
There isn't a single company that create really fun filters that photographers really want to use except for Olympus. Their cross process filters? Incredible. Grainy black and white? Be still my heart! The closest thing to Ilford Delta 400 makes my jaw drop and strikes me with awe every time.
But with weather sealing, some incredible sharpness, and overall great quality to the lens Canon is showing the new school of photographers that they're not going to go down without a fight to likes of Sony.
We took the Olympus OMD EM1 Mk II to Iceland, and if you've been following us on Instagram you'll know that it survived a hailstorm. But we wanted to give it our ultimate torture test: the faucet.
For a few minutes at Photokina 2016, I was able to personally fondle the hottest camera announced at the show: the Fujifilm GFX 50s. This is a medium format camera targeted at the full frame 35mm camera user and is the second medium format mirrorless camera in the digital market.
