Olympus is joining the selfie craze. The newly announced E-PL7 is the latest in the PEN family. It’s still a Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera with a 16.05-megapixel Live MOS sensor and 3-axis VCM image stabilization system. All of the best features you’ve come to know and love from the […]
In the last year, Sony’s moved quickly to kill off its NEX mirrorless camera branding in favor of the Alpha α moniker. The transition is now complete. The brand new α5100 aka A5100 is the NEX-5T’s replacement. The Sony A5100 sits in-between the A5000 and the A6000, two excellent cameras […]
Milled from a solid block of aluminum, the Leica T is epitome of German camera design. Leica teamed up with Audi design to engineer a minimalist interchangeable lens camera that’s every bit as gorgeous inside as it is outside. The Leica has a 16.5-megapixel APS-C CMOS image sensor, 5 frames […]
The Nikon 1 J4 is the followup to last year’s J3. With fierce competition on every side (Sony A5000 and Olympus OM-D E-M10, to name two), Nikon had no choice but to upgrade its mirrorless camera. The J4 packs an 18.4-megapixel AF CMOS sensor, Expeed 4A image processing engine, ISO […]
Sony is killing it right now. Between its APS-C A5000/a6000 and full-frame Sony a7/a7r, the company just can’t do any wrong when it comes to designing stylish (and spec-ed out) compact mirrorless cameras. The third member of the a7 family, the a7S is a full-frame compact mirrorless camera, but with […]
If you’re after the largest image sensors in a compact mirrorless camera, Sony is the way to go. The Alpha A5000 is the A6000’s smaller sibling. What it lacks in metal finish, it keeps up with beefy specs: 20.1-megapixel image APS-C image sensor, Bionz X processor, ISO 16000, 1080p HD […]
Samsung’s insistence on making every gadget “smart” continues. The new NX mini SMART Camera is pretty small for an interchangeable lens camera. Samsung’s an expert at slimming its devices and the NX mini is no different. Despite its 22mm thin metal and leatherette design, the NX mini has a 20.5-megapixel […]
With Sony and Olympus topping the mirrorless camera charts, Nikon knew it had to strike back. Say hello to the Nikon 1 V3, an 18.4-megapixel camera with 20 frames per second shooting (continuous AF), 60 frames per second (single AF) and 120 frames per second slow-motion video recording at 720p […]
Despite supporting the smaller Micro Four Thirds sensor format, Olympus knows exactly how to “wow” with its mirrorless cameras. The new OM-D E-M10 takes cues from the company’s high-end E-M5 and E-M1. In true hybrid fashion, it retains the retro design without cutting too many corners in order to reach […]
It’s camera season, which means every major camera maker is preparing to announce its products for the new year. It goes without saying that Sony’s bet on putting large APS-C image sensors in small camera bodies paid off. Sony’s lineup of NEX cameras are among the most popular mirrorless cameras. […]
Aside from Olympus’ PEN cameras, there really isn’t any other company that makes a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera with vintage-inspired looks other than Fujifilm. Aimed squarely at the E-P5, the X-M1 has a 16.3-megapixel APS-C “X-Trans” CMOS sensor, quick 0.5-second startup time, a sharp 3-inch tilting LCD, ISO 100-25600, Wi-Fi […]
At long last the successor to 2011’s Olympus E-P3 Micro Four-Thirds camera is here. Skipping the moniker E-P4 (because “4” is omen of bad luck), the E-P5 hearkens back to Olympus’s 35mm Pen F film cameras last produced in 1966. Key new features on the E-P5 besides its stunning retro-inspired […]
