The Sony A7R II has been one of the most hyped cameras of the year and, in many ways, it lives up to that hype. For anyone who thinks mirrorless cameras still aren't ready for prime time for serious photography, think again. Sony's A7R II is so loaded wit...

Nikon's 28mm F1.4E ED appears to roundly complete the company's updated lineup of fast, professional prime lenses. We've already seen some initial images from a Nikon ambassador, but we've worked through a gallery of our own, with a lens of our own over t...
Abstract: Check out the above Sony A7R II hands-on video that covers some of the key highs and lows. It's a long video but some good info in there. Midway through the video, you get some direct comparisons to the Canon 5Ds R as well...
