Leica might be best-known for its legendary M-series rangefinders, but for the past decade it's also been building a modern full-frame mirrorless system called the SL series – and the new SL3 is its most fully-evolved model so far. Unlike the Leica M11 and Leica Q3 , which are built around a compact, tactile shooting experience, the SL3 is a modern brute that wants to be your professional workhorse. It still has classic Leica hallmarks, like minimalist menus and a design that harks back to the Leica R3 SLR, but it combines all of that with modern all-rounder specs. The main upgrades from 2019's Leica SL2 include a 60MP full-frame CMOS BSI sensor, a Maestro IV processor, phase-detect autofocus, a tilting touchscreen, 8K video, a CFexpress Type B card slot (alongside an SD UHS II one) and a slightly smaller, lighter body. Leica says that its 60MP sensor is the same as the one in the Leica M11 and Q3, but is engineered slightly differently – which means it has a base ISO of ...

Fujifilm has long been a haven for photography traditionalists – and the Fujifilm X-T5 could be its greatest gift so far to that shrinking but still significant demographic.  In a world that's increasingly turning towards video and full-frame sensors, the company has doubled down on its strengths (retro charm, tactile controls, compact bodies) to make a photo-centric camera that could well be the sweet spot in its entire X series, unless you like 8K video and fully-articulated screens. The X-T series (with the 'T' standing for 'traditional') has always been most popular with keen amateur photographers, or pros who want a fun weekend ride that feels like a film camera. The Fujifilm X-T5 carries that same spirit, adopting the classic dials that are missing from Fujifilm's more modern X-H series. But it also packs in an impressive amount of modern mirrorless tech, including the same 40.2MP APS-C sensor and X-Processor 5 that are in the Fujifilm X-H2 . (Im...

If you're a landscape, portrait or product photographer, you'll probably be familiar with Sony's A7R series – and the Sony A7R V is the latest model in that high-end 'Resolution' range. Its predecessor, the Sony A7R IV, was something of a revelation when launched back in 2019. It was the world's first 61MP full-frame camera and backed that up with some impressive 'Real-time tracking' autofocus. (Image credit: Future) That camera wasn't without its niggles though, so the Sony A7R V has arrived to fix those and deliver some landmark tech of its own, including some new 'AI' autofocus skills that promise to give it class-leading subject recognition powers. Sony A7R V specs Sensor: 61MP BSI full-frame CMOS Processor: Bionz XR (with AI processing unit) Autofocus: 693-point phase-detection AF subject recognition: human, animal, bird, insects, car, train, automobile EVF: 9.44-million dot Quad XGA In-body stabilization: up to...
