The new Panasonic G5 takes the best features of the earlier G3, steps them all up a notch and tosses in much-improved ergonomics as icing on the cake. We immediately fell in love with the G3 when we first saw and shot with it back in May of 2011, feeling it was a real watershed product in the Micro Four Thirds space. In...
If you didn't think the snazzy Nikon 1 mirrorless compact camera system was already blinged out enough, a new service called PimpYourCam offers a way to give it some extra style.
PimpYourCam is a collaboration between German photographer and author Jens Brüggemann and airbrush artist Torsten Rachu. The pair will transform your Nikon 1 using "special paints and coatings [that]...
While some photographers covering the London 2012 Olympics are packing their bags with all sorts of pro DSLR camera bodies and lenses, a photographer for Getty Images will be using just one compact system camera during the Games: the recently announced Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5.
The Getty photographer, Dean Mouharopoulous, will use the mirrorless, 16-megapixel G5 with a range of...
The Pentax Q is a camera that instantly polarizes opinion more than most.
Some love it for its incredibly compact design: there is truly no other interchangeable-lens camera that comes close to the size and weight of the Q, especially when one takes into account the optics. Others decry its smaller-than-average image sensor, and the limitations that brings in a number of areas....
Over the last few years, there's been something of a revolution in the interchangeable-lens camera world. Since the Nikon D90 introduced photographers to the concept of shooting video with a camera primarily designed for still imaging, almost the entire industry has taken the idea onboard, and it's now the rare interchangeable-lens camera indeed that doesn't offer some form of...
Quality prime lenses and a tack-sharp sensor come together with a unique hybrid optical viewfinder to form the Fujfilm X-Pro1, a digital camera built exclusively for enthusiast photographers. The X-Pro1 really hits the nail on the head, driving deep into high-ISO territory with tack-sharp images. Its controls and feature set are also ideal for the target market, and its available...
Choosing a smaller sensor, the Nikon V1 didn't earn a lot to praise from the spec hounds at its introduction, but Nikon was aiming at a smaller system overall, including lenses. They certainly achieved that, while maintaining excellent image quality and including impressively fast autofocus speed. Though many were disappointed with the smaller sensor, our test results show the...
We've just received a Fuji X-Pro1 compact system camera with XF 35mm f/1.4 R lens, and have posted our Still Life ISO/NR series test shots straight from the lab!
The 16-megapixel Fuji X-Pro1 uses a brand-new color filter array intended to reduce moire, which, according to Fujifilm, negates the need for an optical low-pass filter, something absent from the design. The X-Pro1...
We've just posted our Still Life ISO/NR series test shots from the bold new Pentax K-01 compact system camera, straight from the lab!
The controversial Pentax K-01 is based on a 16-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor similar to the one found in the excellent K-5 DSLR, and is compatible with almost every K-mount lens ever made. Other features include sensor-shift shake and dust...
With a whole new look on the outside, the Samsung NX200 gets quite a few internal upgrades compared to its predecessor, not the least of which is its 20-megapixel sensor. Combined with a new lens design and a slick menu system, we found the Samsung NX200 a kick to use. We were most impressed with the improved image quality and faster autofocus, and a few of the special Smart...

We've just posted test shots from a Leica M9 (an M9-P, actually), taken with a Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 lens!
The Leica M9 is based around a Kodak 18-megapixel CCD image sensor with approximately the same dimensions as a frame of 35mm film, making it the smallest full-frame digital camera. The M9 accepts most Leica M lenses built to date, and thanks to the full-frame sensor, all...
