Let's get right down to...
For a good few years now, we've had a team from IR on the ground at the CP+ tradeshow in Japan each spring, attending an annual event which represents something of a homecoming for many of the world's biggest camera makers. And each year, we make sure to schedule time around the show to meet with executives from each of...

We'll kick off in...
The weekend is beckoning, and with it our regularly-scheduled Firmware Friday post arrives this week with a much longer list of updates than usual. This time around, we have news of updates from seven companies for a total of 13 cameras and optics to cover, so let's get right down to business!
For the sake of...
Our Firmware Friday roundup this week is a rather lengthy one, with quite a few updates (or news of upcoming updates) for six cameras, two lenses, one printer and one video camera. Among the mix are the Canon 7D II, 5DS and 5DS R; the Leica T (Typ 701); the Nikon D5000 and S9700; Sigma's Nikon-mount 120-300mm...
It's been awhile since Part I, but I've now had an opportunity to take the Canon 5DS R out for some more field testing, and this time around I put the camera in a less-than-favorable scenario: high ISOs. Indeed, this high-res 50-megapixel sensor, despite being a full-frame sensor, has extremely tiny individual pixels....
After posting up a big selection of real-world gallery photos, I've finally been able to write up my daytime experience shooting with the new 50.6-megapixel Canon 5DS R. In Part I of my Canon 5DS R Field Test, I primarily focused on the design and ergonomics -- spoiler alert, it's basically a 5D Mark III in basic design...
It appears Tamron isn’t the only lens manufacturer having issues with Canon’s recently-released 5Ds and 5DsR cameras. Sigma has just released a service advisory regarding a firmware update a handful of lenses need to be compatible with the Live View mode in EOS 5Ds and 5DsR cameras.
The incompatibility between a handful of Sigma’s lenses and...

After a brief hiatus last week, Firmware Friday returns today with big news from Fujifilm, Samsung, Sigma, Sony, and Tamron. It's quite a list of updates that we have for you today, so without any further ado, let's get to it!
We'll start with Sony, whose new firmware for the Alpha...
At long last, we've finally gotten our hands on production-level review units of the brand new, 50MP-packing Canon 5DS R and Canon 5DS full-frame DSLRs. Earlier this year, we had an opportunity to post images and crops from both a pre-production 5DS R model as well as a later-but-still-beta sample of this camera. Now,...
For those photographers yearning for oodles and oodles of resolution -- landscape, fine art, and magazine photographers come to mind -- Canon has come up with a solution -- two, in fact. The new Canon 5DS and Canon 5DS R sport an in-house designed and built 50.6-megapixel full-frame image sensor. The "R" model provides even more critical sharpness and detail by cancelling out the...
Alongside their recently announced 50MP 5DS and 5DS R cameras, Canon has debuted a brand new ultra-wide angle L-series lens. The new EF 11-24mm f/4L lens is the latest member of Canon's 'f/4' family of L-series glass and is now the widest-angle rectilinear lens ever produced for full-frame DSLRs.
