Photography is dangerous. Just editing a photo and getting OK results is enough to get you hooked.

Then you get an entry-level DSLR. And a cheap 50mm lens and play with depth of field. And you need a tripod. And an extra battery. And memory cards. And a zoom lens. And a remote. And a flash.

Then you try a friend’s mid-level camera. Then you get a mid-level camera. And now you think what’s really holding you back are your lenses. You start... more

If you think your smartphone photos and other digital images look a little bland straight out of camera, you now have one more app at your disposal to give them more of a film-like appearance. London-based app maker RNI has launched its new Colibri app. Colibri is essentially an image filter app for the iPhone, albeit a slightly special one. The filter algorithms behind the app use machine learning... more

Last year I bought a new Fuji X-Pro 1. I bought it as a camera to keep in my pocket, not really as a serious option, but I’ve loved it from the moment I snapped the first pictures. I even bought a second one, used, and converted it to infrared.

The quality of the RAW files is incredible, and so is the quality of the lenses. I really enjoy the OVF and the option to switch to EVF as needed. Low or high ISO, the quality is superb, and I started to bring the... more

Care to start off your week with a heart attack? This video, captured earlier this year at a track in Canada, may only be three seconds long… but it’ll make your heart stop nonetheless.

Canadian drag racer Shawn Mcfalls’ right rear 4 link bar bent right as he hit the gas on his souped up Camaro back in February at the Grand Bend Motorplex in Ontario. This sent him and his car flying into and over the protective wall on the right side of the track, and right at... more

Here at DPReview, we love dogs. They're great. But they're notoriously hard to photograph. Even the best-trained are unpredictable and fast-moving, and when they're not running around they're unable to sit still.

In this video, DPReview's Sam Spencer takes one of our favorite cameras - the Sony a6300 - to shoot some of our favorite pups. During a busy day of shooting, we gave both the animals and the a6300 a good workout, culminating in a studio portrait session for the lucky dogs at... more

With a spec sheet that is unmatched in its segment (and in some cases, in the entire market), the RX100 V is going to be looked at by a great many folks, and is indeed going to be a great camera for a wide variety of photographers. But there are also photographers for whom the RX100 V is probably not your best choice - so we've put together some reasons... more
