After the dust settles from our annual Camera of the Year awards, we like to have a little discussion between the editors of our fellow Madavor photo publications and talk shop -- chatting about gear, our favorites, the state of the photo industry, etc. We're back again this year for a similar roundtable article, but the...
Here we are! The final day of our annual Camera of the Year Awards, and we're wrapping things up with one last award: the Reader's Choice Award. For the past couple of years, we've included a Reader's Choice Award in our series of awards, as we wanted to include your voice for what you all thought were the best cameras...
So far, we've crowned our top lenses in wide-angle, ultra-wide angle, telephoto and super-telephoto categories. Those lenses are useful for a wide range of subjects, but no lens tops the classic "standard" lens when it comes to delivering a realistic, natural perspective. If you want to get very specific, the standard,...
Deciding on the best camera of the year is always a difficult decision, as we take into consideration a wide range of factors in what constitutes the "best" camera. Image quality performance is a key criterion, if not the most important one, but other factors such as AF performance, video features, handling and design...
Here at Imaging Resource, we are big fans of telephoto lenses. They're great for a wide variety of subjects, including the ever-popular wildlife and sports.

It's our first day for Camera of the Year Awards, and we're kicking things off with the ever-popular categories of ultra-wide angle and wide-angle lenses. It was a busy year for wide lenses, with new optics arriving from a wide range of manufacturers across nearly every lens mount and camera system.
Sigma was...
To make a great camera, it doesn't always need to be filled with every bell and every whistle, nor does it need to cost an arm and a leg. Not every camera needs to be designed for high-end or professional uses for it to be impressive and capable of capturing beautiful photos and stunning videos. There are photographers...
It's that time of year again! Camera of the Year Awards time! As we approach the end of the year, it's time to look back at all the cameras (and lenses) that came out in 2022 -- or that we here at IR reviewed in 2022 -- and assess all the good, the bad, their strengths and weaknesses, and pick our favorites. The best...
As we close out the year, we wanted to gather up the photo crew from the Image Creators Network once again and have another roundtable discussion about all things photo gear, photo tech and what everyone thought about IR's awarding the Sony A1 as our 2021 Camera of the Year. This past year saw the debut of some truly...
Today's Camera of the Year award focuses on the professional image creator -- the photographer, the videographer, the creative who makes their living with a camera in their hand. While a large number of cameras these days, at varying price levels, can succeed in many different professional work environments,...
For today's selection of Camera of the Year Awards, we're moving up the food chain, so to speak, into the world of enthusiast-level full-frame cameras and then into the realm of medium-format cameras! For lenses, we have a single category -- and a single winner -- this time around -- Best Macro Lens. A specialized lens...

We're approaching that time of year: awards time! Once again, we're looking back at all the camera and lens products released this year and assessing all of those we've had a chance to test and review. There were a lot of really amazing and impressive cameras announced in 2021 -- and a few that came in at the tail-end of...
Ever since we named the game-changing Sony RX1 our Best Overall Camera in 2012, we've been bringing you our choices for the Best of the Best from the world of camera and lens gear each year. It's been an honor to do so, and yet never without much thought and healthy debating amongst our ranks of colleagues in determining...
