With a newly designed 20MP full-frame sensor, an advanced autofocus system with 153 phase-detect points, a robust build with full weather sealing and 12 action-freezing frames per second, the Nikon D5 has been getting plenty of attention around the DPReview office over the past couple of weeks. It's a purpose-built machine: we don't think there's a camera in the world that can keep erratically moving... more

iFixit Samsung NX Mini disassembly guide

As far as small cameras go, the Samsung NX Mini is one of the most impressively small we've come across. The Mini manages to fit a 20.9MP 1"-type sensor into a super-slim body that's just 22.5mm thick. It's been discontinued, but when we saw iFixit post a disassembly guide for the littlest NX we just had to see what was inside.
