A new patent from Canon details the schematics for what could be a new kit lens for its APS-C DSLR cameras.
The patent, originally filed in February of 2014, shows off an EF-S 15–53mm f/2.8–4 lens; a focal length and aperture range that could very well point at the arrival of a newer, faster kit lens for Canon’s entry-level DSLRs.
Converted, the...
A couple of years ago, we reviewed Nikon's D7100, an impressively capable all-weather DSLR with one notable shortcoming. Although it gave Nikonians a whole lot of camera in most respects, the D7100 was hobbled by inadequate buffer that could fill in less than a second. The followup Nikon D7200 addresses that key...
After posting up a big selection of real-world gallery photos, I've finally been able to write up my daytime experience shooting with the new 50.6-megapixel Canon 5DS R. In Part I of my Canon 5DS R Field Test, I primarily focused on the design and ergonomics -- spoiler alert, it's basically a 5D Mark III in basic design...
Ahh, the venerable "nifty fifty." This inexpensive, lightweight prime lens has had a spot in most photographers' cameras bags at one time or another. The Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens is one of the most popular options, with the original debuting all the way back in 1987. The "version II" revision, introduced some 25 years ago...
When we spoke to Ricoh about its nascent K-S DSLR lineup at the CP+ show earlier this year, the company told us that it was all about innovation. The all-weather Pentax K-S2 is true to its word, sporting all the latest must-have tech.
Features we've never seen before in a Pentax DSLR are to be found in the K-S2....
Nikon has enjoyed great success with their 5000-series, mid-level DSLR's dating back to the D5000, which debuted in 2009, to the D5300 which was honored with a well-deserved Camera of Distinction honor here on our site in our 2013 COTY awards. Here in 2015, we've very much enjoyed our time with the fifth and latest...
Our review of the Pentax K-S2 DSLR continues today, as the second installment of my field test arrives with an in-depth look at low-light shooting and more!
In part one, I took the K-S2 on the road to Nashville, Tennessee, and found much to love in this mid-range shooter, from its bright pentaprism viewfinder and...
After taking on the new Canon T6s -- Canon's more advanced, more enthusiast-oriented Rebel DSLR -- photographer Jeremy Gray spent some quality time shooting with its sibling, the more entry-level Canon T6i. We've just published his full Canon T6i Field Test, and on most counts, the T6i is a solid, well-rounded and...
I've long been a fan of Pentax's enthusiast-grade DSLRs, and 2013's Pentax K-3 was no different, earning itself a Dave's Pick when we completed our review early last year. Now, the followup Pentax K-3 II is here, and it keeps almost everything that made its predecessor so great, while adding another sprinkling of...
Shortly after Ricoh's enthusiast-grade Pentax K-3 II DSLR hit our lab a month or so back, I took readers on a journey of geektastic delight with an in-depth look at Pixel Shift Resolution, one of its landmark new features. Yesterday, I took it with me to the historic town of Jonesborough, Tennessee's oldest city,...
We've been salivating over the Sigma 24-35mm f/2 DG HSM "A" since its announcement a month ago. Fortunately, Sigma gave us a chance -- albeit a brief one -- to get our hands on one of the new lenses and run it through our SLRgear test lab!
This new zoom is the world's first constant-aperture f/2.0 zoom lens for...
Last March, Nikon launched a new generation for its enthusiast-grade DSLR line, following the well-received D7100 with the Nikon D7200. At first glance, the two cameras look mighty similar, but there are some very important upgrades under the skin, as you'll see in our Nikon D7200 review!
Perhaps the key change...
Canon, not content with watching folks needing higher resolution images jump ship to Nikon's 36.3MP D810, came back swinging with their 50.6MP full-frame 5DS and 5DS R cameras earlier this year. Just now arriving on store shelves, we've finally managed to get our hands on final production versions of both models after...
The Canon Rebel-series of DSLRs has long been Canon's consumer-focused, entry-level models, but this year's introduction of the Canon T6s brings something new to the Rebel family in the form of more enthusiast-grade advanced features and amenities. Items such as a top-facing LCD info panel, Canon's Control Dial wheel on...
This past May marked the 10th anniversary of Canon’s EOS 5D DSLR, arguably the most influential camera in the 21st century thus far.

Throughout the video,...

Earlier this year, the Nikon D7200 DSLR arrived on the scene, refreshing the company's enthusiast-grade DSLR with a deeper buffer, uprated autofocus and in-camera Wi-Fi. It's been through our lab, and now preparations for our first Nikon D7200 Shooter's Report are underway!
EDIT, 07/13: We've now posted our full review of the Sigma 24-35mm over at SLRgear!

After a brief hiatus last week, Firmware Friday returns today with news of two updates. One, for the Nikon D3200 DSLR, actually landed last week. The other, for Canon's GP-E2 GPS receiver accessory, arrived yesterday.
We'll start with the D3200, since our main focus here is on cameras. Nikon D3200 firmware version 1.04...
