Photo: Richard Butler After getting a new lease on life in 2023, we here at DPReview are making up for lost time and getting the throttle back up to max. Here's a recap of the reviews and testing we've done this year so far, with more (and more and more) to come as the year goes on! Sony a9 III initial review Photo: Richard Butler The Sony a9 III is the company's latest high-speed pro sports camera.
It features a Stacked CMOS sensor capable of shooting at 120 fps and able to read all its pixels out simultaneously: the long hoped-for 'global' shutter. Our studio scene analysis shows that it comes at a cost.

Photo: Shaminder Dulai
Panasonic's Lumix S 100mm F2. 8 Macro is a full-frame L-mount lens that's designed to be compact and lightweight, coming in at 82mm (3. 2") long and 74mm (2. 9") in diameter and tipping the scales at 298g (10. 5 oz). Hands-on, we can confirm it is very tidy and light.

Nikon Zf review
Photo: Richard Butler
Nikon's Zf is a full-frame mirrorless camera with classic styling, built around a 24MP BSI CMOS sensor. It's designed to mimic the look of the company's FM2 SLR from the early 1980s, meaning it effectively becomes a full-frame counterpart to the company's Z fc APS-C camera.

Sony FE 16-35mm F2. 8 GM II sample gallery
Photo: Dan Bracaglia
Sony's 16-35mm F2. 8 GM II lens is smaller, lighter and more capable than its predecessor. Optical improvements come in the form of better corner-to-corner sharpness and a new close-focus distance of just 22 cm.

iPhone 15 Pro Max sample gallery
Photo: Jeff L Carlson
When we published our iPhone 15 Pro Sample Gallery, we didn’t yet have an iPhone 15 Pro Max model in hand. In addition to boasting a larger 6. 7-inch screen, the Max differentiates itself by having a 5x (120mm equivalent) telephoto camera with a clever tetraprism design. The iPhone 15 Pro’s telephoto camera, meanwhile, shares the same 3x (77mm equivalent) field of view as the iPhone 14 Pro. Is the extra reach worth the bigger physical size and higher cost?

Canon EOS R100 review
Photo: Shaminder Dulai
The Canon EOS R100 is an ultra-compact 24 Megapixel APS-C mirrorless camera with an RF mount. It is the cheapest way to enter Canon's mirrorless ecosystem, offering more flexibility than a smartphone.

Fujifilm XF23mm F2 R WR lens review
Photo: Mike Tomkins
The Fujifilm XF 23mm F2 R WR is a very compact, portable, wide-angle prime lens for Fujifilm X-mount cameras. It makes a great walkaround lens and is well-suited for uses like travel and street photography, as well as things such as moderately wide landscapes and environmental portraiture.

Sony ZV-1 Mark II review
Photo: Shaminder Dulai
The Sony ZV-1 Mark II is a vlogging-focused compact camera built around a 20MP Type 1 (13. 2 x 8. 8mm) Stacked CMOS sensor and an 18-50mm equivalent F1. 8-4. 0 lens. Besides the new focal length range, much of this camera remains the same as its predecessor, which was itself a competent pocket-sized video camera.

Tenba Axis V2 18L backpack review
Photo: Tim Barribeau
The Tenba Axis V2 18L ($200) is a well-made, quietly competent but otherwise uninteresting backpack. Tenba has been in this industry long enough to know the basics of building a functional bag, but this simple black rectangle struggles to stand out against a field packed with more interesting, stylish, or specialized options like Peak Design's exceedingly versatile Everyday Bag or LowePro's hiking bag that happens to hold cameras well too.
