Industry standard for direct printing from digital cameras
Camera & Imaging Product Association (CIPA) launched today the official
site for PictBridge (http://www.cipa.jp/pictbridge/),
an industry standard enabling the direct printing of images from a digital
camera using a cable without the use of a PC. The English version will
be also available from September. This standard was established as one

February 2003. A lot of manufacturers have already approved of it. CIPA
opened this site in expectation of users being able to deepen their understanding
of PictBridge. Also, it is anticipated that the site will expedite the
adoption of the standard in products in the related industries.
Features of this site:
1. Features of PictBridge are introduced in plane language with minimal
technical terms.
2. Users can simulate the usability of PictBridge by animation.
3. CIPA will centrally provide various kinds of information for companies
that are considering the adoption of PictBridge.

No Nikon camera we've tested to date balances stills and video capture as well as the Nikon Z7. Though autofocus is less reliable than the D850, Nikon's first full-frame mirrorless gets enough right to earn our recommendation.
Nikon's Coolpix P1000 has moved the zoom needle from 'absurd' to 'ludicrous,' with an equivalent focal length of 24-3000mm. While it's great for lunar and still wildlife photography, we found that it's not suited for much else.
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.
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.
