A few months back, Panasonic unveiled not one but two successor models to the popular Lumix GH5 mirrorless camera, the GH5 Mark II and the GH6. The GH5 Mark II shares a lot of similarities with the original model, both on the outside and under the hood, including using the same 20.3-megapixel, albeit with some tweaks...
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...
Our regular Firmware Friday roundup this week is a little unusual in that most of the updates for which we have news aren't actually available just yet, although a few are already here and more will arrive in the coming days. In all, we have news of firmware updates for two cameras and one lens in the past seven...
Last week, Panasonic figuratively blew the doors off its competition in the pro video space with the introduction of the Lumix S1H. It offers truly high-end video capability for pro videographers and cinematographers at an unprecedented price point. (US$4,000 is still a chunk of change, but there isn't anything on...
After a shorter-than-typical roundup last week, our Firmware Friday post this week returns with renewed vigor and news of no less than 16 cameras receiving updated firmware in the past seven days. Admittedly, most of these are from one company, and several are very closely-related models. Still, we've a lot to...
Our Firmware Friday roundup this week brings with it news of updates for four large-sensor cameras, of which three are interchangeable-lens models. On the full-frame front, Panasonic has updated its recently-launched S1 and S1R cameras. Turning to APS-C sub-frame cameras, meanwhile, Nikon's D500 has also received...
If you're a Nikon shooter looking to get into video, you are probably saving up to grab the Nikon Z6, a camera with more video-centric features than any other Nikon before it. And after using it extensively, I'm happy to report that it is without a doubt...
Though they are not yet revealing the price, Panasonic has announced a time frame for the highly-anticipated video-centric firmware upgrade that will be available for the Panasonic Lumix S1 full frame camera. When Panasonic's latest camera comes to market in early April, it will come loaded with many video features that...
There certainly will not be a lack of lens options available for the L-mount when Panasonic enters the game in the next month, but a good chunk of those optics are going to cost a pretty penny. Adding to that, Leica has just announced the APO-Summicron-SL 35 mm f/2 ASPH, which will be available mid-April 2019 for a...
One of the lingering questions we still have regarding the Panasonic S1 after our very brief time with them last week is how well it performs in low light. Though we were able to discuss how the S1 can lock onto subjects in darker scenes (read more about that here if you're interested; spoiler: it does a good job), we...
UPDATE, 11:20am: We've now published detailed Hands-On Previews for both the Panasonic S1R and Panasonic S1.
After unveiling the names as well as a few key features and specs back at Photokina 2018, Panasonic is finally unwrapping all the details...
Firmware Friday this week is all about Fujifilm, as the company releases updates for five cameras and four lenses. The interchangeable-lens Fuji X-T1 and X-T1 Graphite Silver are on the list of camera updates, as are the fixed-lens Fuji X100S, X100S Black and S1. And for good measure, the XF10-24mm, 18-55mm, 18-135mm and...
This week's Firmware Friday roundup comes a little later than usual, thanks to some thunderstorms rolling through East Tennessee which took us offline briefly. It's a doozie, though, with no less than 15 camera models and one lens receiving patches this week.
Fujifilm takes the prize for the most comprehensive...
Many of our readers these days are yearning for more zoom reach in an all-in-one package, or at least it seems so based on your interest in both the compact long zoom and the all-in-one super-zoom categories.
Today we're unveiling First Shots from four of the competitors in the super-zoom heat: the Fujifilm S1 (50X);...
We've had some big Firmware Friday posts in the last couple of years, but this week takes the cake. We have no less than 19 updates to report on today from Canon, Nikon, Ricoh and Olympus, including 16 cameras -- the majority of them interchangeable-lens -- plus two camcorders and an accessory. With so much to...
Compact point-and-shoots might have become rare these days, but long-zoom bridge cameras still offer a compelling advantage over your smartphone camera, as do weather-sealed cameras. The Fuji S1 offers the best of both worlds, as both a bridge camera and a water / dust-resistant camera, and it has quite a bit else...
If you're shooting with a Fujifilm X-Trans-based camera, or a recent model that's not yet supported by Photoshop Camera Raw or Lightroom, there's good news from Adobe today. New release candidate versions of both applications aim to improve the quality of X-Trans demosaicing, and also add support for nine new cameras from Canon, Casio,...
Nikon's fledgling 1-mount system has only been around for a little over a year, but in that time it's seen a pretty impressive pace of development. Today, the announcement of two more 1-mount cameras makes that adjective seem insufficient. A greater superlative is needed to describe a schedule that sees no less than six cameras released for a...
