This list might surprise you. It surprised me, anyway. It includes a whole bunch of cameras I still think of as being like, well, new(ish) but when you check the dates it turns out they’ve been around longer than we think.
Fujifilm
Fujifilm is a camera and lens maker that was well known for its film cameras and both color transparency and black and white films. Its fortunes have revived in the digital world with the popularity of its X-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras and the performance, features and value of its medium format GFX range.
New Fujifilm XF400mmF4.5 R LM OIS WR supertelephoto could be huge for sports and wildlife
The XF400mmF4.5 R LM OIS WR is a very interesting addition to the Fujifilm telephoto lens range and complements the high-speed Fujifilm XH2S and its stacked sensor and Fujifilm’s growing strength in the sports and wildlife market.
OM Systems’ new rangefinder-style camera will have just one rival – and it’s a tough one
You might imagine the market is full of rangefinder-style mirrorless cameras with viewfinders, but those days are gone. Olympus itself only made a camera like this once before – the PEN-F – and while Panasonic made a bunch of compact GX-series cameras that might have competed, they are long gone. So what’s left that could compete with the new OM.
The IBIS hall of shame – mirrorless cameras that don’t have in-body stabilization in 2026
Is in-body stabilization essential? Maybe not for stills photography, though it has some definite advantages. Video is a different matter, especially in cameras designed for video beginners, YouTubers and novice content creators. This is an audience that doesn’t have time for tripods, doesn’t want to mess with gimbals and doesn’t understand why their new camera is worse than their phone. So which mirrorless cameras don’t have IBIS in 2026 and is it a problem?
What are the best compact digital cameras to get in 2026 IF ANY?
We’re in the middle of a compact camera boom. It started with the TikTok celebrity Fujifilm X100 VI, continues with the barely refreshed Canon PowerShot G7 X III and has scooped up a whole raft of second-rate compacts from yesteryear and bargain-bin point-and-shoot Amazon specials that anyone can afford and no-one should buy. What’s going on?
Why shouldn’t cameras have style? These are cameras that combine both style and performance
Would you ever buy a car you thought was ugly or horrible to drive? Would you ever eat food you don’t like in a restaurant because it’s cheap? And yet it’s a curious thing in photography that there are so many ‘experts’ who insist that practicality, value and features are all that count and all the rest is shallow vanity or just plain stupidity.
What does a pro ‘trinity’ lens set actually cost in 2026? Five different formats compared!
The launch of the new Nikon Z 70-200mm f2.8 VR S II made me think. At $3,197/£2,999 at the time of launch, this is a seriously expensive lens that is surely out of reach for anyone other than a full-time pro who can treat this lens as a logical business decision.
Which are the best cameras for manual exposure?
While all mirrorless cameras and DSLRs offer manual exposure controls, and some higher-end compact cameras too, they don’t all make it easy. So this guide is designed to highlight some of the camera features and designs you should look for if you want to reconnect with manual exposure techniques.
Don’t write off the Fujifilm X-T30 III as just a warmed up version of an old camera
It seems like the Fujifilm X-T30 has been around for YEARS, but actually it was first launched as recently as 2019. But then it was updated to the X-T30 II with some very minor alterations in 2021 in a move that suggested a camera being kept going for just that little bit longer. Then… nothing. It looked like the X-T30 II was just slowly winding down into obsolescence. But no. Now we have the X-T30 III, and this is a very interesting little camera for several reasons.
How does this keep happening – manufacturers launching cameras they can’t supply?
The culprit this time is the Fujifilm X-M5. Launched back in October 2024, the X-M5 looks a solid little vlogging camera at a very affordable price. It doesn’t have an electronic viewfinder or in-body stabilization, but it does offer open gate 6K video and 4K 60p with only a modest 1.18x crop. It’s also a very nicely made little camera. But, in April 2025, SIX MONTHS after its launch, where can you actually buy one?
