Now's your chance: we've just posted our first test images from both cameras on their respective previews, and have added them to our Comparometer(tm) tool, so you can make direct comparisons to your favorite cameras from the many...
Fujifilm's X-Trans sensor technology was arguably one of the most significant technical developments of 2012 for the photo business. Offering superior resolution without moiré patterns or other aliasing, the Fujifilm X-Pro1 was a true breakthrough product.
Now, an updated version of the unique X-Trans sensor technology...
Pentax's first fixed-lens enthusiast model.
Until now, there's been a clear differentiation in Pentax's camera lineup. Between its various mirrorless, SLR, and medium-format models, the company provides quite a few options for experienced shooters and those looking for room to grow. Its fixed-lens models, meanwhile, are aimed at consumers...
Big, bulky cameras aren't for everybody. You don't need chunky, SLR-like styling to get interchangeable-lens versatility, and some of us are more than happy to forgo a few features for street shooter anonymity. Back in 2011, Samsung answered that need, dropping the electronic viewfinder from the then-flagship NX11, and creating the stealthy...
Among the many cameras announced this year, the Samsung Galaxy Camera stands out as genuinely different. We've been intrigued by the possibilities of a camera with a full-blown Android operating system and built-in cellular data connectivity ever since the Samsung Galaxy Camera was announced, and were keen to put one through our rigorous testing. When our review sample arrived...
Nikon has launched yet another DSLR this year, this time the advanced entry-level D5200, a 24.1-megapixel successor to the Nikon D5100. It's a tweener model that blends features of the much-beloved enthusiast Nikon D7000 and the consumer-oriented D3200, and it comes with a complex pedigree.
In early 2009, Nikon...
In our final video from PhotoPlus 2012, Imaging-Resource.com founder Dave Etchells and Managing Editor Roger Slavens met with Philip Berne of Samsung to get a first look at the Samsung Galaxy Camera, with its impressive Android Jelly Bean interface.
As the...
Last week at PhotoPlus 2012, Imaging-Resource.com founder Dave Etchells and Managing Editor Roger Slavens caught up with Chuck Westfall of Canon USA to see the Canon 6D's built-in WiFi feature in action.
Not only is the Canon 6D a reasonably affordable full-frame digital SLR, it also includes a built-in WiFi...
IR founder Dave Etchells and Managing Editor Roger Slavens are in New York at the PDN PhotoPlus Expo, and they've captured a video of the brand-new Nikon V2 mirrorless camera in action.
Beyond its radical new styling, the Nikon V2 sports quite a few other changes from the earlier V1 model. There's a new control layout...
Departing radically from the Nikon 1 V1's original design, the new Nikon V2 goes all out to leave the rather bland looks of the V1 behind while maintaining the family resemblance, with broad curves and a bulky industrial look. The end result is rather odd at first glance, with a big grip and a rectangular EVF and...
If you're considering picking up a brand new enthusiast compact camera, we've got good news for you! Three of the latest models from Canon and Nikon--the PowerShot G15, PowerShot S110, and Coolpix P7700--are in our lab for testing as we speak, and we've just posted a raft of their studio samples.
For each of the...
Our Sony shooting experience this week included the new Sony NEX-6 compact system camera. And IR founder and publisher Dave Etchell just posted a new gallery of sample shots to show off what the NEX-6 can do.
Here's what Dave said about his experiences with the Sony NEX-6 so far: "You could say that Sony set out to...
Update: Added more outdoor shots, some low-light
Dave Etchells is still out in California shooting with Sony's latest cameras, and he just uploaded sample full-resolution images from the Sony Alpha A99. Dave says that the company's new 24.3-megapixel, full-frame DSLR is "another great camera, very responsive, and has...
Dave Etchells is out in San Francisco shooting with the amazing full-frame 24.3-megapixel Sony Cyber-shot RX1 and we've managed to post a few of his Gallery images. He's having a great time with the Sony RX1: "It's an absolute joy to shoot with. I can't believe how compact it is for a full-frame digital camera," he said....
Ladies and gentlemen, the Leica M digital camera is here, and it is not your Daddy's rangefinder! After the first significant overhaul in three years, Leica's latest M-system camera sports a number of significant new features that are quite a departure from the Leicas of days gone by. The Leica M (Typ 240) now...
Think quickly! How much would you pay to have a USB port and an extra switch on your Leica digital camera? Did you say US$1,500 or more? If so, then you can stop reading this preview: the German camera legend would rather you looked at our review of their M9 and M9-P instead.
If, though, you're the kind of person...
Panasonic's GH series cameras have had video recording as their main focus from day one. The GH1 saw good pickup among amateur video enthusiasts, and with the GH2, quite a few pros began using them as inexpensive alternatives to full-frame SLRs. This was aided by the GH2's excellent video quality, as well as...
Tiny and feature-rich as they were, Olympus saw fit to revamp their two smallest Pen cameras just fifteen months after their introduction. The higher-end model, the Olympus Pen E-PL5, is still about the same size, but it gains a few features from both the E-P3 and the OM-D E-M5, both of which have some cool stuff...
Revamping their two smallest Pen cameras just fifteen months after their introduction, Olympus chose to give their least expensive model--the Olympus E-PM2--the combined look of the original E-PL1, with the fixed grip of the original E-P1. It's fun to see their designers playing with the digital Pen heritage...
Special care was taken to differentiate the Olympus Stylus XZ-2--yes, the Stylus brandname has been resurrected--from a close competitor, the Panasonic LX5/LX7. The surprising result is that the camera body grew a bit, both in size and price. As I've noticed from their other recent cameras, Olympus is still...
