So what do you do with a bunch of old family photographs that have suddenly become your responsibility? If you’re of a more recent vintage, you probably haven’t experienced this problem yet and maybe never will… at least not as far as paper prints ar

SOUTH KOREAN LENS-MAKER Samyang has followed up its first lenses for Canon’s EOS R full-35mm mirrorless camera system with the same models for the Nikon Z mount. Currently, Samyang is offering two lenses in the RF and Z mounts, both manual focus prim

There are various reasons why the retail sector in Australia has been quiet of late, but it’s a bit more of a mystery why potential buyers aren’t storming the camera shops waving credit cards or wads of cash. After all, there hasn’t been such a smorg

PANASONIC’STHIRD LUMIX S series mirrorless camera body – which was first revealed back in May this year – is primarily targeted at cinematographers and has just gone on sale in Australia. It’s packed with high-end video features, optimising its dedic

BEFORE YOU GET too excited, you’re still going to need very deep pockets for Phase One’s new XT field camera, which it’s mating with its 100 and 150 megapixels IQ4 series capture backs, and none of these are exactly cheap. However, the XT camera syst

THE SONY ALPHA Awards are designed to showcase the greatest in Australian and New Zealand photography using the Sony Alpha mirrorless camera range. This year represents the fourth running of the competition and over 4000 stunning images were submitte

A week may be a long time in politics, but this year has been a particularly long one in the camera industry if it’s to be measured in new product releases.This time last year – as we considered potential winners in our annual recognition of design e

OF COURSE, THE EOS 90D wins this category by being the only new D-SLR of note launched during our period of eligibility, but this shouldn’t detract from what is actually a truly superb camera. In fact, it looks a bit like Canon has put everything it

THEY MUST BE putting something in the water at Fujifilm because, let’s be honest here, there hasn’t been a dud camera at either the enthusiast or pro level for quite a while – X-H1, X-T3, X-T100, X100F, GFX 50S, GFX 50R, GFX 100 (starring elsewhere i

ALTHOUGH ANNOUNCED AT the same time as its higher-resolution sibling, the Z 6 went on sale much later, hence its eligibility for this year’s awards. It’s competing in a hotly-contested category which includes Canon’s much more affordable EOS RP and P

HANG ON! An M43 camera beating a bunch of models with full-35mm sensors. What’s going on? The OM-D E-M1X is what’s going on, arguably the most interesting and significant camera launched this year. On a broader level, the E-M1X signals that Olympus h

EVEN WITHOUT ITS Leica badge, the original Q was a superb camera, combining style, features and performance in a hugely desirable package. Of course, the classic Leica M styling cues helped with the overall appeal, but underneath the Q was thoroughly

PANASONIC HAS HAD a bit of a mortgage on this category for quite a while, particularly with its GH series of M43 cameras which have become steadily more accomplished with every new generation, culminating in the all-powerful but still compact GH5S… n

A MAINSTREAM 100 megapixels medium format camera? Now there’s something that wouldn’t have been thought possible not so long ago. But Fujifilm has succeeded in turning the digital medium format camera world on its head with its GFX series mirrorless

IN REALITY THERE could have been a number of Profoto products capable of winning this category, such has been the flash maker’s remarkable ability to re-invent itself in the face of the changing demands for photographic lighting. Like all the profess

Lake Gairdner is Australia’s fourth largest lake, located about three hour’s drive from Port Augusta in South Australia. Under the appropriate conditions – and given some shallow rain water – the lake can be attractive enough, but add a surprise mist

The winners of this year’s long-established and internationally-acclaimed Leica Oskar Barnack Award (LOBA) photographic competition were recently announced at Leica’s HQ in Wetzlar, Germany. The main Leica Oskar Barnack Award was achieved by American

FOR A LONG time there was what virtually amounted to a ‘secret society’ of Samyang lens users who had discovered just how much optical performance was available for so little money. Cinematographers were some of the keenest supporters – even before S

There’s landscape photography and then there’s landscape photography shot the Lisa Michele Burns way. She doesn’t just point, shoot and move on; she believes in becoming wholeheartedly involved in her subjects. And if that involves some physical disc

Like most fathers planning the conception of their first-born, my ideas for a new magazine were created when I was young and foolish. Now I am old and foolish, but I can see now when looking back that even for the foreplay stage I had not chosen the

It’s been well over a year since we last road-tested a new D-SLR, and longer still as far as a mid-range model is concerned. It’s been wall-to-wall mirrorless cameras over that time (at least 15 models on these pages and we haven’t reviewed every new

After the G9 and the Lumix S models you might be forgiven for thinking that Panasonic has forgotten how to make a compact mirrorless camera, but how wrong you’d be. The key witness for the defence is the Lumix G95, arguably the most accomplished mid-

The classic criteria for data storage have been capacity and reliability — space for now and for the foreseeable future, and automatic back-up, not a manual method that can be neglected, but complete protection against hard-drive failure or malfuncti

While a lot of video-makers have been using Canon’s EOS 5D series D-SLRs, the company also makes a range of dedicated cinema cameras and lenses. These products are being increasingly used in higher-end film productions, especially documentaries where

Talk about attention-grabbing! What’s more this dramatic image was created entirely in-camera, which is something we applaud, and it’s why Steven Genesin is the 2019 Fujifilm Showcase grand prize winner. For the record, this photograph first appeared

Baby animals are always bound to tug at the heartstrings, but one in particular – an orphaned rhino calf called Arthur – is playing an important role in the on-going struggle to save the species from ruthless poaching. Arthur stars alongside former i

Why might you buy the Oppo Find X smartphone? Forget about image quality or other technical attributes – the main reason to buy this phone is that it is very easily, hands-down, the prettiest-looking on the market. And it achieves that by a most unus

Whenever we talk about classic cameras in this magazine, we’re invariably talking about film cameras. We certainly acknowledge the milestones in the development of digital cameras – such as the Kodak DC20 or Canon’s EOS D30 – but this is usually pure
