Whenever a new interchangeable-lens compact camera (or “mirrorless” camera, if you prefer) is announced, the press material invariably touts how small the camera is. Tonight, Canon’s new SL1, however, attempts to cut the fat without ditching the mirror. In essence, the SL1 shares almost all of its guts with the Rebel T4i (and the T5i, [...]

In amongst the deluge of new cameras at Canon’s press event here in Cologne, Germany was this looker. It’s the PowerShot SX160 IS, a nice-looking, if somewhat beefy mid-range superzoom point-and-shoot. The company was showing off three different colors — the black, silver and red, and we spent the most time with the latter, the [...]

With little room to grow (or shrink) on the housing front, we’ve begun to see manufacturers take a different approach with point-and-shoot cameras, boosting the size of image sensors to present a clear advantage over smartphone cams, which continue to cannibalize their dedicated counterparts. Sony, for its part, has just announced what’s by far the [...]

Your friends might laugh at you wholeheartedly when they see you sporting something that looks like a walnut on your head – the £159.99 Ego WiFi HD Action Camera which will come in black, blue, red, white or yellow colors, but they certainly will not laugh any more when they check out the kind of [...]

Sony is reportedly busy behind the scenes cooking up the A99, a DSLR that will rival offerings from Canon and Nikon. The specs for the camera are still up in the air, and it’s not clear when the company plans on announcing the A99, but Sony Alpha Rumors has been talking to inside sources to [...]

A flagship it isn’t, but Nikon’s newest Coolpix will certainly hit the sweet spot in terms of pricing for many. The Coolpix L610 is an entry-level compact that breaks away from proprietary cells in order to rely on a pair of AAs. World travelers may argue that it’s easier to find a pack of those [...]

Not even a year after Nikon ceremoniously entered the mirrorless world, it’s issuing the followup to the J1: it’s the Nikon 1 J2, and it’s — at most — a gentle revision to a camera that was near-universally hailed as being one of the more disappointing ILC options. Disappointing, of course, because it’s Nikon. A [...]

You don’t get to unbox anything or have that new-camera smell, so how much does the Canon 7D v2 firmware really transform the now three year-old model? The answer depends a bit on what you do with it, but for most users the Japanese maker deserves kudos from bringing new functionality to the model. Two [...]

Unfortunately, there’s a delay for cinéastes anxiously awaiting their 12-bit RAW Blackmagic Cinema Cameras, but the news isn’t all bad. The camera is “in the final stages of Thunderbolt certification and internal testing” and manufacturing will follow as soon as that’s done — probably in the second week of August, according to the company. It [...]

Since retiring its iconic camera, Polaroid has been getting back into the instant photography business by combining digital imaging with a built-in printer. Now it’s announced the Z2300, a stylish and more powerful alternative to the tiny PIC-300 with a smaller form factor than the Z340 launched last year. The Z2300, currently on pre-order, bumps [...]
