The new M.Zuiko Digital Ed 12‑100mm F4 IS PRO is a 24-200mm equivalent zoom for the Micro Four Thirds system. On paper, it's the ideal travel lens. So how does it stack up? See gallery

The new Olympus ED 25mm F1.2 is a ground-up design where Olympus engineers aimed to build the perfect lens. Quick autofocus and new coatings are certainly a plus, but how good is 'perfect'? We took the new prime out to try and find out. See gallery

The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 30mm F3.5 Macro is a new design that claims to provide good performance, has as short as a 14mm working distance (subject to lens), and 1.25x magnification without too much price. We took it out for a little shooting and found, even handheld, it produces some pleasing results. See gallery

In the process of putting together our G85 First Impressions we've also assembled a sizable collection of real-world samples. See gallery

We've been putting Lomography's latest Petzval lens to work – check out all the swirly bokeh. See gallery

While we haven't been able to test out the Pentax K-70's weather-sealed body this summer, we have put together a full sample gallery for your viewing pleasure. Read more

We've been doing all kinds of summertime stuff and shooting with the Canon EOS M3. A full review is underway, but for now we've got some fresh samples. See gallery

Lensbaby's Twist 60 is all about the bokeh. It promises appealing subject/background separation with Petzval-like swirly bokeh, and we couldn't resist the temptation to take it for a spin. Read more

The Nikon 300mm F4E PF ED VR is quickly becoming a favorite around the office. We've brought it along to concerts, motocross, sprint boat racing, rugby and tennis and updated our gallery accordingly. See gallery

The Fujifilm X-E2S may be (mostly) just an X-E2 with the latest firmware, but it's still a relatively affordable way to get into the Fujifilm system in style. Slap on one of Fujifilm's compact and excellent primes, and you're ready to go out shooting. See gallery

Sony has just announced its Planar T* FE 50mm F1.4 ZA lens, a high quality normal for its E-mount Alpha line of cameras. At a shooting event in San Diego, we had a chance to go hands-on. Read more

We got our hands on a pre-production sample of the Hasselblad X1D 50MP mirrorless camera for a short time and were able to shoot some portraits. Image quality isn't final, but our first shots show impressive detail rendering. See gallery

From mountain peaks to dim music venues, we've been all over with the Pentax K-1. The 36MP, weather-sealed full-frame camera just screams to be taken adventures, so that's exactly what we've done. See gallery

The weather is starting to really warm up here in Seattle and the days are long. What better time to head out with the feature-packed Sony a68 and see what it can do? See gallery

Panasonic's 12mm F1.4 brings a weather-resistant, fast 24mm equivalent prime to the Micro Four Thirds system, with a build quality and price tag that scream premium. We've been out shooting it on the Panasonic GX8. See gallery

The Sigma 50-100mm F1.8 DC HSM Art is a telezoom lens designed for APS-C format cameras, on which it provides an equivalant focal length range of approximately 75-150mm. Its fast F1.8 maximum aperture makes it the brightest lens of its type on the market. But is it any good? See gallery

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX85 has the makings of one sweet camera. It uses a well-regarded 16MP Four Thirds sensor (with no AA filter), is 4K capable and features Panasonic's depth from defocus AF system. See our gallery

To dismiss the Huawei P9's imager as 'just another smartphone camera' would be unfair. Huawei claims that by using one monochrome and one RGB sensor, the camera is 100% more sensitive to light than its competitors. We found it to be enjoyably similar to shooting with a dedicated camera, but at the end of the day, it's still a smartphone. Read more

The Tamron 85mm F1.8 claims the title of the world's first fast-aperture 85mm lens with stabilization. We've spent some time getting to know it on full-frame and crop sensor bodies alike. Read more

The EOS-1D X Mark II is the latest flagship body from Canon boasting a 20.2MP CMOS sensor, 14 fps continuous shooting and a new 61-point autofocus system. We brought it out to Evergreen Motocross Park in Monroe, Washington to get some initial impressions. See gallery

Shooting with the Nikon D500 continues, both in Seattle and in very warm Palm Springs, California. See gallery

Sony's new Cyber-shot RX10 III might look a lot like the older RX10 II, but its lens is something else. With a versatile 24-600mm equiv. range, on paper it's a great traveling companion, which is why DPR editor's editor chose it to take on a weekend hike. See how he got on

Our Nikon D500 studio tests have produced encouraging results, so we were eager to follow them up with some real-world shooting – by land and by sea. See gallery

Canon's latest entry-level Rebel wraps up an 18MP sensor, a 9-point AF system, built-in Wi-Fi and 1080p video in a beginner- and budget-friendly DSLR. We took it out for a spin. See gallery

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX85 / GX80 manages to take most of what we like about the GX8 and pack it into a smaller, lighter body. We've taken a pre-production model for a spin around Puget Sound to see how it measures up. Read more

We had our first opportunity to shoot with the Sigma 30mm F1.4 Contemporary at CP+. With a full-production lens in hand and good weather in the air, we've put the lens through its paces a little closer to home. Read more

Tamron's venerable 90mm F2.8 Macro is re-born. This iteration, announced in February of this year, offers stabilization, 1:1 magnification and focusing as close as 13.9cm/5.5in. With springtime springing in Seattle, we put it through its paces. See more

From the mountains to Puget Sound and weddings to contact sports, we've been toting the Nikon D5 all over the state of Washington. Were the results from Nikon's new flagship worth the weight in our bags and on our backs? Click through to see for yourself. Read more

Sony recently updated its FE line, which now offers 16 full-frame lenses for Sony's E-mount Alpha cameras. Among the new lens introductions is the FE 50mm F1.8, what you might call Sony's 'nifty fifty'. We spent some time shooting with it in San Francisco this weekend, paired with the unforgiving 42MP of the Alpha 7R II, and have put together a gallery and some first impressions. Read more

From Long Beach, WA to San Francisco, CA, we've made a couple of recent trips with the Sony FE 24-70 F2.8 GM in tow. With a variety of focal lengths, apertures and lighting situations, take a look and see how this workhorse G Master lens holds up. Read more

Nikon's new flagship DSLR has landed and it offers some serious high ISO reach. Natively, you can push the camera all the way to 102,400. To put the camera's high ISO capabilities to the test we brought the D5 with us to a much-loved Seattle concert venue. See gallery

DPReview is in San Francisco checking out the new Cyber-shot RX10 III. The RX10 III maintains the ergonomics and key specifications of its predecessor, but incorporates a massive 24-600mm equivalent F2.4-4 lens. We've been doing some shooting with the camera in a range of different situations, and we've created a (JPEG only, for now) gallery. See more

With access to Adobe Camera Raw support for the Sony a6300's .ARW files, we re-visited our real-world sample-gallery and have added Raw conversions to the existing out-of-camera JPEG files. Read more

Sony's new FE 24-70mm F2.8 G Master lens is as pro-level as pro lenses come. It offers some of the fastest AF speeds we've seen, especially when paired with the Sony a7R II, and impressive sharpness throughout its focal range, even wide open. Read more

We knew that Sony's FE 85mm F1.4 G Master lens was sharp, but after spending some quality time with it in Miami last week, we're even more impressed with its quality. See more

The Sigma 50-100mm F1.8 is a bit of a rarity. It's a fast telezoom designed specifically for Canon, Nikon and Sigma APS-C bodies, providing 75-150mm equivalent range. We were lucky enough to get our hands on a pre-production model while we were in Japan for CP+ 2016. Read more

Among all its releases at CP+ 2016, Sigma's 30mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary lens is the smallest in size, but its wide aperture should help it pack an image quality punch. We were fortunate enough to have a chance to try out a pre-production model outside Sigma's factory in snowy Aizu, Japan. Click through to see how it did. Read more

The Panasonic Lumix ZS100 made its debut in early January, offering a sizable 25-250mm equivalent zoom range to complement its 1"-type sensor. With a built-in viewfinder, it certainly looks to be travel-ready. After some more time with the ZS100 and some springtime Seattle sun, we've added a few more samples to the gallery. Read more

The Sony a6300 has some sizable shoes to step into. With a 24MP CMOS APS-C sensor, 8 fps continuous shooting with live view, 425-point on-sensor phase detect AF system and 4K video capture it looks like a solid update to the a6000, at least on paper. We've been shooting with the a6300 for a few days and we've just added several images to our gallery of real-world samples. Read more

Panasonic's ZS60 puts a lot of enticing features in a very small package. It's an iteration on a tried-and-true travel zoom formula that combines a 24-720mm equiv. lens, 18MP sensor, 3" touchscreen and a built-in electronic viewfinder. We spent some time outside with the ZS60, even managing to catch a few breaks in the late winter clouds, and have some samples to show for it. Read more

The Leica DG Vario-Elmar 100-400mm F4-6.3 ASPH offers a heck of a lot of reach for not much size. Plus, the rotating buttons on the tripod collar are a smart feature. We took the lens out with the Panasonic GX8 and Olympus E-M1 to see if this new tele option for the Micro Four Thirds system is as serious as its name. Read more

Fujifilm's new X70 compact camera puts the 16MP APS-C sensor from the X100T into a much smaller body, omitting an EVF but adding a 28mm equiv. F2.8 lens and articulating touch-sensitive screen. The X70 is certainly one of the nicest compact cameras to look at, and its specifications are pretty impressive, but what kind of images can it produce? We spent the weekend shooting with a production-quality camera. See gallery

After Sony showed off its a6300 and trio of new lenses, our staffers were able to grab an a7R II and start shooting. In this gallery we have a small selection of images taken with Sony's new 85mm F1.4 GM portrait lens. View the gallery

The Sigma 20mm F1.4 DG HSM | A is the newest member of Sigma's family of 'Art' lenses. It's also the widest member of the Art lens family, and with a maximum aperture of F1.4 Sigma claims that it's the fastest 20mm lens in the world.  We shot this lens on both 5DS R and 7D Mark II bodies, and since we had an EOS mount we even tried it on the Sony A7R II as well. How did it do? Take a look

Our Fujifilm X-Pro2 First Impressions just got a significant update. With a production-ready camera in hand, we've been able to send it through our studio tests, make some judgements about image quality from its new 24MP X-Trans image sensor and put together a fresh sample gallery. Read more

The Ricoh GR II is a modest update to the well-regarded GR, and the high-quality formula remains: an 18.3mm (28mm equiv.) F2.8 lens in a compact body with a 16MP APS-C sensor inside. While the update doesn't bring image quality changes, it does offer a chance to run the new camera through our studio test scene, as it will be an obvious competitor to the Fujifilm X70 when it arrives. Read more

We've got our hands on preproduction versions of Fujifilm's X-Pro2 and X70 and have put together a sample gallery for each. Keeping in mind that these are 'beta' cameras, have a look at some photos from both Seattle and Japan. Take a look

Winter can be a stark wonderland in the Pacific Northwest, especially east of the Cascade mountain range. Editor Barney Britton spent some time with the new Nikon 24-70 F2.8 ED VR lens amongst the snow-covered rolling hills, waterfalls, forests, and even sunny beaches our beautiful state provides. See how the lens performed in this set of real-world samples. Read more
