Sony A6400 review
The A6400 continues Sony's approach of forging ahead with technological advancements while leaving an unrefined user experience behind. The new A.I.-aided autofocus is so incredible to see in action, we almost forgot about the nagging interface issues.
Sony A9 review
Sony wowed the photography world when it introduced the sports-oriented A9 with its 20 fps electronic shutter and no-blackout viewfinder. A year later, the camera is still going strong -- and is yet to be dethroned. We put it to the test at the racetrack to see how it performs in the real world.
Sony Cyber-shot RX10 IV review
The Sony Cyber-shot RX10 Mark IV is the best all-in-one camera you can buy, whether you’re a photographer or videographer. This DSLR-like camera offers a long lens for great wide-angle and telephoto shots, along with speedy performance.

Sony a99 II review
Sony’s latest DSLR-style camera deftly merges high-resolution imaging, sports-ready performance, and cinematic video for a camera that is truly peerless. But the mirror technology makes it feel like it’s stuck in the past.
Canon EOS 5D Mark IV review
The 5D Mark IV may not have the video features that Canon fans have been waiting for, but with a 30.4MP full-frame sensor, 7 frames-per-second continuous shooting, and terrific video autofocusing, it’s one of the best DSLRs you can buy.
Pentax K-1 review
The long-awaited Pentax K-1 – the company’s first first full-frame (35mm) DSLR -- bridges a gap in the Pentax lineup. Sure, it can capture great quality photographs, but times are changing, and modern camera makers have innovated to push the envelope. Can the K-1 stand up to the competition?
Nikon D5 review
Nikon has delivered a significant update to its flagship DSLR with the D5, but most users are better off with the less-pricey D500.

Canon made all the right upgrades to its new affordable enthusiast DSLR, the 80D. It delivers great looking photos and videos, thanks to a new sensor and autofocus system.

The E-M10 Mark II is Olympus’ newest entry-level model in the high-end O-MD series, but it packs enough performance and features for great photos and videos.
DxO One review
The DxO One is a standalone camera that’s designed to specifically work with Lightning-equipped iPhones and iPads. Its 1-inch sensor provides results equal to advanced compact cameras.
Sony RX1R II review
The Cyber-shot RX1 R II is a demonstration of what Sony’s engineers are capable of. Despite its compact size, this full-frame camera shoots photos that rival larger models.
Nikon D7200 review
The Nikon D7200 continues Nikon's advanced crop sensor DSLR series 00 but does it impress, or fall flat? Now that the Nikon D7200 has been replaced by the Nikon D7500, is the older model still worth buying? What about video? We explore the angles in our Nikon D7200 review.
Sony A7S II review
The A7S II retains its predecessor’s low-light prowess, but now offers in-camera 4K storage, 5-axis image stabilization, compressed/uncompressed 14-bit RAW, and other impressive tech.
Sony A7R II review
Sony’s A7R II is so chock-full of advancements – a 42.4-megapixel back-illuminated full-frame sensor, 4K video, high ISO, fast autofocusing, and more – that it might just be the best camera of 2015.

Sony Cyber-shot RX100 IV review
Like its predecessors, Sony’s new RX100 IV is a pricey pocket camera. But the premium price gets you cutting-edge components and features that weren’t available before.
Canon EOS Rebel T6i review
The latest Canon EOS Rebel camera is not one but two very similar models: the EOS Rebel T6i and T6s. Both use a brand-new 24.2-megapixel APS-C sensor -- the highest currently available from Canon -- and are the first Rebels to come with Wi-Fi and NFC. Can Canon’s Rebel stay on top?
Canon EOS Rebel T6s review
Canon’s refreshed entry-level Rebel series includes the T6s, a DSLR with a few enthusiast-quality features.
Nikon 1 J5 review
Nikon’s J-series mirrorless cameras always felt lackluster, but its new J5, with a super-fast burst mode, changes everything.
Hands on: Canon EOS 5Ds
Canon’s new EOS 5Ds is a high-resolution, 50.6-megapixel full-frame DSLR that gets you close to medium format. We did a hands-on test with a pre-production model, and the photo quality is stunning. But it’s not for everyone.
Samsung NX500 review
Samsung used the guts of its lauded NX1 to create the compact, 4K-capable NX500. While a great everyday shooter, it lacks features of a true video camera.
Nikon D5500 review
The D5500 is Nikon’s newest entry-level DSLR. It shoots quality photos, and it’s a good starter DSLR for new users.
Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II review

Canon PowerShot SX60 HS review
Canon has made its newest mega-zoom even more potent. The SX60 HS has a long 65x zoom and fast performance. It’s no DSLR, but you don’t have to lug around lenses either.
