A sucker for 35mm, DPR Editor Barney Britton found himself drawn to 2013’s Sony RX1 and R for all of the obvious reasons, but shooting with them left him cold. But just when he was about to give up hope on seeing an improved replacement, the RX1R II arrived. Find out why it’s pick for Gear of the Year.

Richard Butler’s choice of Gear of the Year isn’t a product launched this year (our choices of best products of the year were recognized in the DPReview.com Awards), instead it’s the one that’s prompted him to work on his photography. So what’s so special about the Fujifilm 56mm F1.2 APD?

DPReview writer Allison Johnson’s 2015 Gear of the Year is a camera that’s been able to accompany her almost everywhere she’s travelled this year, whether floating down rivers or just putting up with the rough-and-tumble of Florida’s theme parks. Whether or not it’s ‘the best,’ the Olympus Tough TG-4 ended up being the camera she had with her.

Canon’s EOS 5DS may not have its more expensive sibling’s self-canceling optical low-pass filter, but it’s identical in all other ways starting with a 50.2MP full-frame sensor. We put its high resolution sensor and 61-point AF module to the test for some real-world shooting. Take a look at our initial, Raw-only sample gallery and stay tuned as we expand it.

There’s been a great deal of interest in the Sigma 24-35mm F2 Art since its launch last month. And who can blame the internet for getting excited over the world’s fastest full-frame zoom? It has the potential to take the place of 24mm, 28mm and 35mm primes in a photographer’s bag, which are particularly popular with wedding photographers and photojournalists, as well as those interested in environmental portraiture, night-time landscapes, and more.
With all of the appeal and high-end touches offered by Sigma’s ‘Art’ series, the 24-35mm just begs to be taken out for a spin - and DPReview’s Deputy Editor Rishi Sanyal did just that this past weekend. Take a look at his shots, including aperture progressions at both ends of the zoom, at the eye-popping resolutions a 5DS R provides with this groundbreaking zoom.
