This week's Firmware Friday roundup is very likely a record-breaker when it comes to interchangeable-lens cameras. Even without including overseas equivalents, we have 20 DSLR and mirrorless cameras on the list from Canon, Nikon and Panasonic, and 24 once Panasonic's overseas equivalents are added into the mix.
And as...
After a mammoth article last week, our Firmware Friday roundup this week is a rather more modest affair. In fact, if you're not a Canon shooter you can move along now, because all of this week's news comes from Canon alone. A fair few different product categories are included, however.
First of all, we have news...
After a few weeks in a row of smaller roundups, our regular Firmware Friday series returns with a rather larger article this week, bringing news from no less than five manufacturers -- Blackmagic, Canon, Leica, Ricoh and Sigma.

As another weekend arrives, it's time once more for our regular weekly summary of all that's new in the world of camera firmware.

After a brief hiatus last week, our regular Firmware Friday roundup returns today with news of updates for five cameras from Canon, Olympus and Panasonic, as well as a couple of upgraded software utilities for Fujifilm cameras. We've a fair bit to cover, so with no further ado, let's roll up our sleeves and get to...
Canon's flagship PowerShot series, the G1X, is now on its third revision. This time around, there are a lot of upgrades and new features, making it Canon's most advanced compact camera to date. The big story is that despite it's compact size, the Canon G1X Mark III...
Canon has announced their latest PowerShot, the G1X Mark III, their new flagship G-series compact camera. Changing focal lengths and sensor size over its predecessor, the G1X Mark III sports a 24-72mm-eq. f/2.8-5.6 lens paired with the same 24MP APS-C sized sensor...
The Canon G3X is the "Big C's" answer to not only the Sony RX10-series but also the Panasonic FZ1000. The category for high-powered, enthusiast-grade zoom cameras with 1-inch-type sensors is heating up. Admittedly, this is a rather niche category -- big zoom, big sensor and lots of manual controls -- but for a while the...

What do you get if you take an enthusiast compact and turn the dial up to eleven on the zoom lens?

For the last couple of years, Sony has dominated the enthusiast compact camera market with its RX100-series, three closely-related, zoom-equipped cameras that are both pocket-friendly and feature much larger sensors than previous enthusiast compacts. Their nearest competitors have been Canon's G1X-series cameras, which...
