Sony A7R IV hands-on review: 61 glorious megapixels
The headline-stealing feature of the new Sony A7R IV is its 61-megapixel full-frame sensor. But that's not the only reason to buy this camera. From better autofocus to improved controls, here's what we found in Sony's new flagship -- and there's plenty to be excited about.
Sony A6600 hands-on review: Small camera, big deal
The Sony A6600 is more evolution than revolution, offering a feature set that is largely unchanged since 2016's A6500. But improvements in key areas like battery life and autofocus do much to keep it fresh, and help Sony maintain an edge in APS-C mirrorless cameras.
Sony A6100 review: A great camera under $1,000
The Sony A6100 is one of the best deals in cameras. Using the same sensor and Real-Time autofocus system as the $1,400 A6600, it's an absolute steal at just $750. While it's not the prettiest or most intuitive camera on the market, it makes up for it with class-leading performance.
Canon EOS M6 Mark II review: Do megapixels matter?
The M6 Mark II puts more power and pixels into Canon's compact EOS-M mirrorless line, but it fails to outshine the competition due to a lack of lenses and inferior low light performance. We love the improved Dual Pixel Autofocus and 14 fps continuous shooting speed, but there are better cameras.
32-megapixel Canon EOS 90D and M6 Mark II set new bar for APS-C sensors
The mirrorless Canon EOS M6 Mark II and EOS 90D DSLR may look very different, but the cameras are basically twins on the inside. Starting with a big resolution bump, the cameras are also faster than their predecessors and offer 4K video and improved autofocus. Both will be available in September.
With the RX100 VII, Sony took the best point-and-shoot and made it better
Inheriting advanced features from Sony's professional mirrorless cameras, the compact RX100 VII boasts zero-blackout continuous shooting, Real-Time Eye AF, and incredible speed. It uses the same lens as the RX100 VI, but a new 20MP sensor, processor, and AF system. It launches in August for $1,200.
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 RX100 VI review
The sixth generation of Sony's powerful but compact RX100 camera delivers more zoom, incredible speed, robust 4K video, and still fits in the palm of your hand. Loaded with tech and with no competition, it also gets away with a very high premium.
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.
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.
Nikon D750 review
The Nikon D750 DSLR is an excellent example of what full-frame cameras can do. It produces beautiful photos and videos. But does it justify its high price? Yes, it does -- and the camera's age means an even better deal.
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.
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.
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?

With a new AF system and 4K video, the latest version of Olympus’ smallest OM-D camera is a solid en-try-level camera.
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.
Sony Cyber-shot RX100 III review
Sony does it again with the Cyber-shot RX100 III, one of the best compact cameras you can buy. It has a new viewfinder, processor, and lens. But it’s still pricey.
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 A7R III hands-on review
Speed, power, and precision: Here’s what it’s like to shoot Sony’s highest-resolution camera, which combines a 42MP sensor, 5-axis stabilization, 4K video, and a first-for-Sony pixel-shift mode that brings out even more detail in your images.

Our Sony Alpha A5000 review reveals an affordable and lightweight interchangeable lens camera that will appeal to many step-up users.
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 has delivered a significant update to its flagship DSLR with the D5, but most users are better off with the less-pricey D500.
