Also worth noting the huge pure profit margins on the touted flagship smartphones. Personally I'm convinced smartphones (primarily Apple and Pixel) are doing amazing things on their primitive sensor / lens configurations with computational imaging but also the graphical user interface, automation of routine photography, and even opening devices up with API's for 3d party developers to produce alternative software for the same hardware. I think that will increasingly find it's way into "serious" cameras, which still largely resemble 1980s PCs. There are some fairly crude examples, e.g. the Zeiss running Android in a limited way, my guess is some real breakthroughs are on the horizon for mirrorless cameras.
I2k4, I totally agree ! Can you imagine if they put as much R&D into computational photography with DSLR's / mirrorless FF cameras, as they have / do with phone cameras ? I can barely imagine the kind of digital info that could be captured and stacked and stitched and tweaked with major computational tech in conjunction with a big FF or even MF sensors ?!

Fujifilm's X-H2 is a high-resolution stills and video camera, that sits alongside the high-speed X-H2S at the pinnacle of the company's range of X-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras. We dug into what it does and what it means.
Holy Stone produces dozens of low-cost drone models aimed at consumers. We look at the HS710 and HS175D to see if they stack up to other sub-250g offerings. Are these secretly great or more like toys?
It's small, light, cheap and extremely wide but is it any good?
After weeks with a production Fujifilm X-T5, Chris and Jordan have some final thoughts.
The EOS R6 II arrives in one of the most competitive parts of the market, facing off against some very capable competition. We think it rises to the challenge.
Above $2500 cameras tend to become increasingly specialized, making it difficult to select a 'best' option. We case our eye over the options costing more than $2500 but less than $4000, to find the best all-rounder.
There are a lot of photo/video cameras that have found a role as B-cameras on professional film productions or even A-cameras for amateur and independent productions. We've combed through the options and selected our two favorite cameras in this class.
What’s the best camera for around $2000? These capable cameras should be solid and well-built, have both the speed and focus to capture fast action and offer professional-level image quality. In this buying guide we’ve rounded up all the current interchangeable lens cameras costing around $2000 and recommended the best.
Family moments are precious and sometimes you want to capture that time spent with loved ones or friends in better quality than your phone can manage. We've selected a group of cameras that are easy to keep with you, and that can adapt to take photos wherever and whenever something memorable happens.
