The Fujifilm X100VI effect – how it's sparked a compact camera price boom and what I'd buy instead

Image
The Fujifilm X100VI effect – how it's sparked a compact camera price boom and what I'd buy instead I've been reviewing cameras for almost ten years and I've never seen anything like the the Fujifilm X100VI . The premium compact camera landed just over a year ago and immediately sold out everywhere, resulting in extraordinary six-month waiting lists. It only recently came back into stock at retailers , before again doing a Houdini-style vanishing act. The X100VI backstory is already well known. It was one of those rare tech moments when the cultural zeitgeist – suddenly obsessed with film and compact cameras – shone its spotlight on something that seemingly had elements of both. The fuse was lit with the X100V's viral TikTok moment in 2022, before the big explosion with its successor last year. I'm now less interested in whether or not the X100VI deserves its hype (either way, it's a brilliant little camera) and more in the impact it's had on the use...

I wince at the prospect of the rumored Leica M11-V – here's why

Image
I wince at the prospect of the rumored Leica M11-V – here's why Leica's next M-series camera could be the first to have an EVF It could be the smallest, lightest and most versatile Leica M-series camera yet Leica Fotos app makes reference to 'M11-V' Leica appears to be on the brink of launching a new model in the legendary M-series, but the news is likely to be met with dismay from some diehard fans. Why? Well, it seems that the M11-V will be the first ever M-series camera to ditch the iconic optical rangefinder, replacing it with an electronic viewfinder (EVF). The news comes courtesy of Leica Rumors , which points out that the latest beta version of Leica’s Fotos app contains references to an M11-V model. That suggests an official announcement is imminent – perhaps as soon as some time in the next few weeks. In the past, Leica Rumors has posted leaked images that appear to show an M-series camera with a large rear touchscreen, clean top plate, no ISO dial an...

The Nikon Z5 II could land soon – here's what to expect from Nikon's rumored entry-level full-frame camera

The Nikon Z5 II could land soon – here's what to expect from Nikon's rumored entry-level full-frame camera Rumor suggests an announcement could come as soon as next week The Z5 II could be a 'mini Z6 III' No official word from Nikon yet The Nikon Z5 is the company’s cheapest full-frame camera , but even fans would admit it’s grown a little long in the tooth. Now five years old, it remains a capable performer (and particularly tempting if you can generally pick it up at a big discount ) but it’s definitely overdue an update. It’s long been believed that Nikon will be unveiling a Nikon Z5 II this year. And the latest rumblings suggest the camera could be announced as soon as next week. Nikon Rumors has published a story claiming as much (although the timing doesn’t get more specific than ‘next week’), along with the interesting detail that their source describes the Z5 II as a ‘mini Z6 III’ – i.e. will come with some technology seen on the superb Z6 III , whic...

More DJI Mavic 4 Pro leaks seemingly reveal launch date, price and key features of the triple camera drone – here's what to expect Potential 24 April 2025 release date for DJI's new flagship consumer drone Features to include digital ND filters and 52-minute battery life Pricing may start from $2,250 We’ve been eagerly awaiting official news on the DJI Mavic 4 Pro for a while but, if a new leak is true, we won’t have to hold our breath for much longer. The leak also revealed some exciting news about the premium drone’s feature list, not to mention pricing. The news comes from serial leaker Jasper Ellens , who runs the site DroneXL and is usually highly accurate when it comes to reveals on DJI. In a story posted on the site , he claims to have been given the information from two separate sources, both of which have never been wrong in the past – but as always we suggest you treat these rumors with a pinch of salt, just as with any other pre-release leaks on tech gear....

Canon EOS R6 Mark III: 5 huge upgrades the rumored full-frame camera could have – and needs

Canon EOS R6 Mark III: 5 huge upgrades the rumored full-frame camera could have – and needs Rumors suggest a revised May 2025 launch for the EOS R6 Mark III It could inherit features from the pricier EOS R5 Mark II As a potential EOS R6 Mark II update, it rivals the Nikon Z6 III and Sony A7 IV Canon's twin launch of the EOS R1 and EOS R5 Mark II stole 2024's headlines, with the latter camera winning TechRadar's camera of the year award. However, it's believed that the mid-range (and more affordable) EOS R6 Mark II remains Canon's most popular full-frame mirrorless camera , and that it could be updated soon with the Canon EOS R6 Mark III. Canon Rumors initially touted an announcement for the end of 2024, which would have tallied with Canon's two-year cycle for EOS R6 cameras so far. However, here we are months later in March 2025 and there's still no sign of the third model, the potential EOS R6 Mark III, nor a rival Sony A7 IV successor for that...

BYD’s latest electric vehicle platform can add 249-miles of range in just five minutes – your move Tesla! BYD’s Super e-Platform will debut on upcoming Han L sedan and Tang L SUV 1,000kW peak charging speeds will see batteries brimmed in minutes BYD will build 4,000 ultra-fast chargers in China to support the rollout Chinese automaker BYD continues to push battery and EV charging technology to the limits, with a recent announcement stating that it is to rollout 1,000kW charging capabilities in two upcoming all-electric models, due later this year. The Super e-Platform, as BYD calls it, offers a charging voltage of up to 1000V and a maximum current of 1000A, far eclipsing the 800V architecture that is currently considered the cream of the crop. When mated to a frankly terrifying 1 megawatt (1MW) charging station, BYD says the “flash-charge” battery will allow for an impressive 249 miles of range to be added in just five minutes of charging. According to the company, tests ha...

My dream Hasselblad camera is getting a sequel soon, according to new leaks – here are 5 upgrades I’m hoping for New leaked pictures seemingly show a Hasselblad X2D II top plate The camera will likely be an iterative X2D 100C upgrade It could be the camera Hasselblad registered with the FCC in December 2024 If I could have one camera, money no object, the Hasselblad X2D 100C would probably be it. However, I might soon be adding a 'II' to that moniker, following leaks of my dream camera's upcoming successor. The folks at Photo Rumors shared a post containing a Hasselblad FCC registration for product 'HB722', dated December 4, 2024, followed by a photo that seemingly shows a top plate of an X2D II camera , leading us to believe the upcoming product could be a X2D successor, and that it's coming soon. The current model is a 100MP medium-format camera with stunning minimalist design and stripped-back user experience. I loved reviewing the camera when it...
