Sony cameras have come a long way over the last few years — to the point that they're competitive with the twin monoliths of Canon and Nikon. The company has accomplished this feat by making gear that's different from other stuff out there. Until now, that success has been limited to point-and-shoots like the RX100 and the fabulous NEX cameras. Here's a big, pricey professional flagship to match Sony's successes at lower price points.

There are incredible feats of engineering going completely unnoticed all around us. The way a high speed camera shutter works is one of them. Read More >>
The Sony SLT-A58 is a refresh of last year's pretty darn good A-57 DSLR. It comes with a new 20-megapixel image sensor, and importantly, a refreshing £500-ish price tag when it's bundled with an 18-55mm lens. But don't let the surging megapixel count and plummeting price tag fool you. We just took the camera for a test drive in some less than ideal conditions, and we were impressed. If you're getting started with serious photography, the new A-58 might be the way to go. Read More >>

The full-frame sensor, usually reserved for only top-of-the-line DSLR cameras, represents the finest standard of DSLR picture-grabbin.' It doesn't come cheap. But Canon fit a full-frame sensor into its new 6D—and offered camera buyers a pro-level detail at a price tag we've never seen before. Does it make the 6D worth buying? Read More >>
Earlier this year, we fell in love with the Nikon D800. How could you not? It's a 36.6-megapixel hulk of a professional camera. But if you don't have £2500-odd lying around, too bad. Read More >>

At just £1,799 for the body, the Canon EOS 6D it's the cheapest full-frame camera you can buy new. It's got one hell of a lineage, but how will it measure up to Nikon's crazy new D600, which costs just a smidgen more? Read More >>

"6D has the 7D's AF system, less AF points. It'll be just about as accurate as the 7D. It's still a portrait/landscape camera. Can't beat the crop for ..." More »
Most haggard old pros gave their souls up to Nikon and Canon long ago. Too bad for them because the Sony a99 is the kind of DSLR the pros of the future might be looking for: Small, fast, and furious. Read More >>

It's hard to name a good reason to buy a budget DSLR now. You can get virtually all of the same features—lenses, image quality, manual controls—from a smaller, more portable mirrorless camera. So how does the Nikon D3200 fit into today's camera market? Read More >>

The just announced Canon EOS 650D brings two industry leading features to the company's budget DSLR line: Continuous autofocus in Live View mode and touchscreen controls. They make the digital rebel easier to use than ever. But these new technologies could also mean that Canon's prepping a long-overdue compact, large-sensor camera line. Is a Canon mirrorless camera imminent? Read More >>

Canon's budget-friendly digital cameras have been one step ahead of the DSLR competition for years. The latest incarnation, the Canon EOS 650D (or, Rebel T4i in the US), builds on that tradition with innovations you won't find on even the most expensive DSLRs: It brings touchscreen controls and new beginner-friendly video features. Sounds great, but it'll cost you. Read More >>

Canon Rumors posted what they claim are the specs for the Canon T4i, the successor to the company's entry-level T3i. And judging from the rumoured numbers, any improvements made won't be quantifiable. Read More >>

Nikon's entry-level DSLRs are known for being well-built and easy to use. The same looks to be true for the D3200, just with a super-sized 24.2 megapixel sensor. Read More >>

Yup, the Canon 5D Mark III is serious business. That sweet bit of kit is a pro-grade camera and a total lust item. But there's another reason to love it: It just made its elder sibling, the 5D Mark II, the best deal in cameras. Read More >>
Your eyes...feel funny. They're slowly pulling from their sockets, a pair of grapes that will soon squish their juices against a simple, 2D photograph. This is the power of leading lines. For this week's Shooting Challenge, use it wisely. Read More >>
