Head-to-head comparisons of cameras, sensors, and technology.
Fujifilm has just done something it has never attempted in the history of its GFX medium-format system. On March 20, 2025, the company announced the GFX100RF — the first fixed-lens camera ever to carry a…
Smartphone cameras have quietly replaced the dedicated point-and-shoot for most people. In 2026 the gap between a flagship phone camera and serious mirrorless gear is narrower than ever — larger sensors, periscope zoom lenses and…
For years, full-frame was the summit every photographer aimed for. But a new generation of mirrorless medium format cameras from Fujifilm and Hasselblad now sits one rung higher, promising more resolution, richer tones, and a…
Every photographer has taken a photo that came out too orange or too blue. The culprit is almost always white balance. Your eyes adjust to different lighting automatically, but your camera has to be told…
Every photograph depends on one small but critical decision: how long the sensor is exposed to light. That job falls to the shutter. Modern interchangeable-lens cameras offer two ways to do it — a mechanical…

Every digital camera turns light into an image using a sensor, but not every sensor reads that light out the same way. The two main approaches — rolling shutter and global shutter — decide whether…
Scroll through the spec sheet of any modern camera or smartphone and you'll quickly run into the term "backside-illuminated" — or its acronym BSI. It sounds like marketing jargon, but it describes a genuine change…
Aperture is one of the three pillars of the exposure triangle, alongside shutter speed and ISO — but it does far more than control brightness. It is also the main creative dial for depth of…
Samsung has taken the megapixel race in a new direction. Instead of chasing an ever-higher pixel count, the new ISOCELL HP5 squeezes 200 million pixels into a sensor built on the industry's smallest pixel —…
