Fuji X-T4 Announcement
Fujifilm just announced the 26.1-megapixel X-T4, a highly anticipated update to 2018's X-T3. The X-T4 sports significant improvements in autofocus, video, and shutter durability, but the headline feature is 6.5-stop IBIS (the previous X-T3 does not have in-body image stabilization at all, so this is a major upgrade).

Nikon Z8 Wishlist
Nikon is going to release a pro-grade Z-mount mirrorless camera later this year (probably something like "Nikon Z8"), so I decided to put together a wishlist of features that I hope to see implemented. It is expected that this camera is going to feature IBIS, dual card slots, a 60...
Canon EOS R5 to Feature IBIS and Shoot 20 FPS, 8K Video
It is no secret that Canon has been pushing its development efforts hard towards its mirrorless system. The company has already pointed out that it will not develop any more EF lenses for its DSLR cameras, unless there is significant demand from its customers. With all the development efforts shifted...
Nikon Flagship DSLR Camera Comparison (D3, D3s, D3x, D4, D4s, D5 and D6)
After I posted the article comparing the Nikon D6 to D5, a number of our readers emailed me with a request to make a comparison table with the last four generations of flagship Nikon DSLRs. I thought it was a great idea to put something like this together so that...
