Nikon’s D500 is an enthusiast DSLR that truly impresses. It delivers the excellent image quality one would expect, but it introduces several new tech that makes it a joy to use.
Hexo+ hexcopter

Hexo does a decent job at automatically following you, but there’s no dancing around the fact that it’s a one-trick pony living in a world full of feature-packed competitors.

For budding aerial photographers and videographers searching for an entry-level UAV, it doesn’t get much better than Horizon Hobby’s Chroma 4K drone.

Sony’s update to the A6000-series, the A6300 mirrorless camera, brings sublime 4K video capture and a new sensor that’s more light-sensitive. It also touts the world’s fastest autofocusing to date.

panasonic lumix zs60 review dmc front

Panasonic Lumix ZS60 review

The ZS60 from Panasonic is an ideal compact camera for travelers, loaded with a 30x zoom lens and user-friendly features. But image quality is an issue attribute to a small sensor.

Budget dash cameras generally sacrifice video quality and features but the Vantrue R1 Pro is an affordable camera that goes beyond your expectations.
Epson PictureMate PM-400

Epson PictureMate PM-400 review

The PictureMate PM-400 is the newest portable photo printer from Epson, and lets you make lab-quality photos at home. But the convenience of this specialty printer comes at a premium.

The PowerShot G3 X is Canon’s latest enthusiast point-and-shoot. It has a strong 24x zoom lens and large 1-inch sensor, and it is capable of shooting beautiful photos.
Kodak PixPro SP360

Kodak PixPro SP360 review

Spherical cameras like the Kodak Pixpro SP360 let you shoot photos and videos with a new perspective, giving your action or vacation shots a more immersive experience. But it isn’t without teething issues.

Panasonic’s new G7 introduces a new 4K Photo burst mode for capturing high-resolution images out of 4K video, giving users a new way to shoot action.
canon eos 5ds hands on sample 7

Hands on: Canon EOS 5Ds

Canon’s new EOS 5Ds is a high-resolution, 50.6-megapixel full-frame DSLR that gets you close to medium format. We did a hands-on test with a pre-production model, and the photo quality is stunning. But it’s not for everyone.
Sony Action Cam 4K wrist

Sony 4K Action Cam review

Although Sony’s 4K Action Cam shoots ultra-high-definition videos, 4K is more of bonus than a must-have feature.
Parrot BeBop ipad 2

Parrot Bebop review

Portable, durable, and incredibly simple to fly; Parrot’s Bebop drone is probably the best quadcopter you can get for under $500.
samsung nx500 review magazine modelshot rgb 01

Samsung NX500 review

Samsung used the guts of its lauded NX1 to create the compact, 4K-capable NX500. While a great everyday shooter, it lacks features of a true video camera.
lensbaby velvet 56 hands on lens sample 12

Hands on: Lensbaby Velvet 56

Sony Action Cam Mini HDR-AZ1 review

Sony managed to downsize its Action Cam without degrading image quality or usability, making it one of the best POV models alongside GoPro.
Lytro Illum front angle 2

Lytro Illum review

The Illum takes Lytro’s light-field camera technology to the next level. Unfortunately, high price, mediocre picture quality, and steep learning curve make it a niche product.
Sony Alpha A7 Mark II review front lens

Sony Alpha A7 II review

Sony newest model in the A7 full-frame mirrorless camera series features nice updates like better movies and ergonomics, but it’s the five-axis image stabilization that wows.
VSN Mobil V.360 Camera

VSN Mobil V.360 review

The V.360 from VSN Mobil is one of the first 360-degree cameras to hit the market, but first-generation issues make it an early-adopter product.
