In our brightly lit studio scene the Samsung Galaxy S5 can take advantage of its 16MP sensor and resolves more detail than most of the competition. This is true for high-contrast detail as it can be found in the resolution charts in our test scene as well as low-contrast in the feathers and fabrics.
Well-balanced sharpening means that edges look crisp without any halos or other sharpening artifacts and low levels of noise reduction at base ISO ensure less blurring of fine detail than the competition and pleasant rendering of low-contrast areas in the frame. The image is also pretty clean, with very little noise in areas of plain color and no artifacts, but a touch of lens softness is noticeable towards the edges of the frame.

Samsung has released an official Galaxy S5 hands-on video that talks about the camera and shows some of the new imaging features.
Samsung's new flagship smartphone comes with a 16MP camera, improved AF and 4K video recording.
Lomography's LomoChrome '92 is designed to mimic the look of classic drugstore film that used to fill family photo albums. As we discovered, to shoot with it is to embrace the unexpected, from strange color shifts to odd textures and oversized grain.
The LowePro PhotoSport Outdoor is a camera pack for photographers who also need a well-designed daypack for hiking and other outdoor use. If that sounds like you, the PhotoSport Outdoor may be a great choice, but as with any hybrid product, there are a few tradeoffs.
The Sony a7C II refreshes the compact full-frame with a 33MP sensor, the addition of a front control dial, a dedicated 'AI' processor, 10-bit 4K/60p video and more. It's a definite improvement, but it helps if you value its compact form.
Why is the Peak Design Everyday Backpack so widely used? A snazzy design? Exceptional utility? A combination of both? After testing one, it's clear why this bag deserves every accolade it's received.
The new Wacom One 12 pen display, now in its second generation, offers photographers an affordable option to the mouse or trackpad, making processing images easy and efficient by editing directly on the screen.
If you want a compact camera that produces great quality photos without the hassle of changing lenses, there are plenty of choices available for every budget. Read on to find out which portable enthusiast compacts are our favorites.
