The Canon PowerShot SX280 HS is a 12 Megapixel pocket super-zoom with a 20x optical range and built-in Wifi and GPS; the cheaper SX270 HS available in some regions is identical other than not having GPS or Wifi. The SX280 HS debuts Canon's latest DIGIC 6 image processor which claims to deliver 30% more detail than previous models and supports 1080p video in the MP4 format. The optical zoom operates in a 25-500mm equivalent range with a five-axis optical stabilizer, while the built-in GPS can automatically tag images with your location, and the built-in Wifi - a first for the SX series - lets you easily share and upload images. It's a solid specification from Canon, but how does it measure-up to rival pocket super-zooms? Find out in my in-depth Canon SX280 HS review!Archives for May 2013

The Canon EOS Rebel SL1, or 100D as it's known outside North America, is the company's latest entry-level DSLR and the smallest and lightest model with an APS-C sensor to date. It's around 1cm smaller in every dimension than Canon's next smallest DSLR yet manages not to compromise on control, composition or connectivity. It may sport the same 18 Megapixels as earlier DSLRs but features an improved hybrid AF system with phase detect points spread over 80% of the sensor. Does a tiny DSLR with an optical viewfinder and native access to the full EF catalogue render mirror-less cameras redundant? I've been hard at work testing the new tiny DSLR and can now share my complete review, including comparisons with mirror-less cameras, real-life detail and noise for JPEG and RAW files, along with an extended sample images gallery and an in-depth look at the new movie capabilities!

The Nikkor AF-S 80-400mm f4.5-5.6G ED VR is a high-end telephoto zoom that's corrected for Nikon's full-frame FX-format DSLRs. It's the long-awaited update to the AF 80-400mm launched 12 years ago, and the dozen years between them has allowed Nikon to significantly improve the VR and AF - the latter now employing SWM to become an AF-S model - along with implementing an entirely new optical design. We've now completed our in-depth testing on what's proving to be one of the most exciting telephoto zooms to date. So check out our Nikon 80-400mm review!
