Smart Phones are awesome. They connect us in ways that we couldn’t have imagined ten years ago and they even take great pictures now. But there’s one critical camera feature they’re missing – a proper lens. And I’m not just talking about zoom. The teeny little fixed lens on your Galaxy S III or iPhone […]

Once again it’s time for me to try to direct the cameraless hordes to image capturing devices that will make all their wildest dreams come true – in other words – a Holiday camera guide.

Read More »Best Digital Cameras Under $200
We spend a lot of our time here at PhotographyREVIEW.com fantasizing about cameras that weigh ten pounds and cost thousands of dollars.

Last week I had a very exclusive opportunity to shoot with Sony’s new RX1 high-end compact camera. It’s hard to put the Sony RX1 camera in perspective. It’s a $2800 compact camera with a super-sharp fixed 35mm f/2.0 Carl Zeiss lens and a fantastic 24-megapixel full-frame sensor that delivers excellent image quality up as high […]

Last week, Canon added a new model to their long-running G-Series line of high-end compact cameras, the 12-megapixel PowerShot G15. The G15 is a bit smaller and lighter than its predecessor, the G12, but the most exciting feature is the upgraded 5x 28-140mm (equivalent) zoom lens, which now has a super-fast f/1.8-2.8 aperture. That will […]

Fujifilm has added a new camera to their X-Series digital camera line. The new Fujifilm XF1 has the same excellent 12-megapixel 2/3-inch CMOS sensor they used in their popular X10 compact camera (read our Fujifilm X10 review). But unlike the X10, the XF1 is made to fit in your pants pocket. It has a 4x […]

Sony continues to surprise me with their willingness to take chances on non-traditional camera designs. The new Sony RX1 is their biggest gamble yet. The RX1 is a high-end compact camera with a 24-megapixel full-frame sensor and a fixed 35mm f/2.0 Carl Zeiss lens that sells for nearly $3000. And I thought the $600 Sony […]

It’s the most popular camera in the world – for today, anyway. The new Apple iPhone 5 is official. Yeah, it’s a smart phone but it’s also arguably the most popular camera in the world. Even though I don’t believe camera phones should replace real point-and-shoot cameras, there’s no denying the reality that for most […]

With a big 1-inch, 20.2-megapixel CMOS sensor and a bright f/1.8 lens, the pocket-sized Sony RX100 is the hottest point-and-shoot camera on the market right now. Correction – it’s one of the hottest cameras, period. I borrowed one from my friend Adam Lisonbee, a.k.a., Grizzly Adam, so I could shoot some studio tests and get […]
