Sony Xperia PRO-I

Heavy processing is one of the reasons you can get very good image quality from the tiny cameras on the back of mobile phones. But as we often see in our tests, there are limits to how much advanced image processing can correct. Very small image sensors have incredibly small pixels, and although records are …

GP Batteries ReCyko Pro

A quick check of the battery container showed not only that it was stuffed, but also that there were at least 50 batteries in all sizes. I did not want to count what all the batteries had cost together, but my conscience told me in clear terms that I had wasted the money and at …

Fujifilm X-E4

The camera is so small that one suspects it to be a compact camera. But the Fujifilm X-E4 is a full-blooded system camera, it’s just a lot smaller than most people are used to. The small camera fits nicely in a jacket pocket, especially if you use the new 27mm as we did, and is …

Panasonic Lumix S 85mm f1.8

It’s compact, light, sharp, and made for Panasonic’s L-format full frame cameras. The 85 millimeter is also the first in a series of lenses for the L-mount, all of which have fixed focal lengths, with f1.8 as the best brightness. Three other lenses in the same class with shorter focal lengths – 24, 35 and …

DJI Pocket 2

If you tried to run after the kids while filming with your mobile phone, you have probably discovered that the recording was not as fun to watch as you thought. Although the phone may have image stabilization, it does not manage to compensate for a lot of movement. Then the solution is a gimbal, a …

Canon RF 50mm f1.8 STM

The extremely sharp RF50mm f1.2, is probably the best 50-millimeter we have tested. For Canon photographers, it’s a dream to use, well, if your budget allows it. So bright lenses, cost money. Much money. The much smaller and almost as bright RF 50mm f1.8 STM, costs a tenth and is almost as sharp, and in …

DJI Mini 2 Fly More Combo

It is small enough to nearly fit in your pocket, yet it is powerful enough to fly several kilometers away, and film everything in 4K resolution. Mini 2 is DJI’s smallest and lightest drone, which sneaks below 250 grams, by one gram, and is so easy to handle that everyone can get nice pictures and …

Canon RF 70-200mm f4 L IS USM

One of the disadvantages of creating a brand new camera system is that you have to create new lenses. But you can turn that to your advantage, because then you get the opportunity to start afresh. For Canon, it has been absolutely necessary to develop new lenses for the new EOS R camera system. The …

DJI Mavic Air 2

Many photographers have acquired a drone, because it gives them the freedom to take pictures and make videos, which is not possible with a regular camera. For example, how to make a wedding video shot from a bird’s eye view without a drone? Or take landscape photos from above? It says itself. Most drones in …

Nikon Z7 II

Time flies. It seems like we tested the Nikon Z7 yesterday, when in fact it was in December 2018. In the meantime, the competitors have launched new camera models and updated existing cameras, which we have tested continuously. Meanwhile, it has been quiet from Nikon, who released two full-frame cameras in 2020. The compact Z5 …

Nikon Nikkor Z 50mm f1.2 S

For many photographers, the fifty millimeter falls between chairs. It’s not a wide angle, and it’s not a tele, not even a short tele. But it is quite possible to take nice landscape photos with something other than a 24mm, and portraits do not always have to be taken with an 85mm. A 50mm can …

Canon Powershot Zoom

New compact cameras from Canon are not commonplace. But then the PowerShoot Zoom is not quite like other cameras either. It’s as much a monocular as it is a camera. With some very special features. Canon says that the small camera is a super zoom camera in pocket format, aimed at the many who take …

Fujifilm X-T200

While the prices of cameras keeps increasing, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find good, affordable cameras, which are not so complicated that they scare away a poor beginner. The compact system camera we are testing here is a bright spot in an otherwise dark market in terms of budget-friendly quality. The Fujifilm X-T200 is …

Sony FE 12-24mm f2.8 GM

A complex construction is the reason why wide angle zooms can cost a lot of money. Often more than a telephoto zoom, especially if they have good brightness, such as Sony’s FE 12-24mm f2.8 GM. It covers ultra-wide 122-degree image fields at one end and 84 degrees at the other, all the time with up …
