Olympus has announced the four megapixel C-4000Z. This camera is (yet)
another re-hash of the same body design which we first saw used back on
the C-2000Z. The C-4000Z appears to be based on the C-3020Z but with the
addition of a four megapixel sensor, TV output and an external flash connector.
Note that this camera does not have the fast F1.8 lens of its bigger brother
the C-4040Z, instead it has the slightly slower F2.8 (still respectable).
Expected UK price will be £449.99 inc VAT, available in August.

As a stills camera the Fujifilm X-T3 is a pleasant update to one of our favorite APS-C cameras, significantly improving the autofocus. If you're interested in stills and video, though, it's knockout.
The Nikon Z7 is slated as a mirrorless equivalent to the D850, but it can't subject track with the same reliability as its DSLR counterpart. AF performance is otherwise good, except in low light where hunting can lead to missed shots.
Nikon's Coolpix P1000 has moved the zoom needle from 'absurd' to 'ludicrous,' with an equivalent focal length of 24-3000mm. So far, it's a fun camera to shoot with – if a bit over the top.
The Canon EOS R is the first full frame mirrorless camera to use the new RF mount. We're well underway putting it through our range of standard tests – take a look at how it compares to the competition and our thoughts on using it so far.
The GFX 50R is a 50MP rangefinder-style mirrorless camera. It borrows heavily from the existing 50S model but in a smaller body and at a lower price. How does it differ?
The instant camera market is heating up, and with four formats and 15+ cameras to choose from, we felt it was high time to examine them all and pick our favorite.
