When Canon, Nikon, Sony or whoever release a new camera, the old cynic in me tries not to be completely dazzled by all the new hi-tech specs – instead, I look at what’s been left out. Canon’s latest flagship EOS R1? Exceptional camera, incredible AI specs and image upscaling specs etc, but it’s only 24MP, which also means no 8K video.

The Yashica City100 offer 13MP images, and compact camera results, alongside sluggish operation and an LED flash, but for the low price it seems to prove you get what you pay for.

The Tilta Portable Charging Station can charge four camera batteries at once, and do so rapidly, too. What’s more, it’s well made and doubles up nicely as a storage case for your batteries. ProsCharges four batteries at onceAffordable priceRugged designConsNo percentage battery level meterThe question of independent batteries verses the manufacturers’ models is one as old as digital cameras themselves.

If you are looking to go full-frame or upgrade from a DSLR or smartphone, the Canon EOS RP is one of the cheapest options. It’s now even better value, both on Amazon US and UK, particularly if you buy body-only. In our original review, we praised the EOS RP for its easy-to-use layout with plenty of scope for customisation, well-integrated touchscreen interface, fully articulated screen and compatibility with a huge range of EF-mount SLR lenses via the supplied adapter.

Peter Travers compares Canon camera prices from the past 20 years to find out if we’re being ripped off or getting a pretty good deal in 2025With new pro full-frame cameras priced around £4500 these days, which is a big chunk of anyone’s budget, it begs the question – are these price tags justified when compared to what you were paying 10, 20 years ago for a new camera?

The Neewer ER1-120 provides pretty much everything you want from a slider. It’s very well made, easy to use, easy to control and it does its job very well. It’s nicely priced, too. ProsLow costWell madeNice appSmooth motionConsRemote could be betterA bit noisy beyond 95% speed settingSliders are generally quite expensive, so I was drawn to this Neewer model as it costs a lot less than others but at the same time seems to offer all the features of units more than twice the price.

The SmallRig Vibe P108 Pro is a really handy little light that provides full-colour output and a nice set of special effects. It delivers decent light output for its small size, and is affordable too.

After months of online rumours, Fujifilm’s latest camera, the Fujifilm X half, has officially arrived. And let’s get one thing straight from the start – if you’re hoping for a more affordable version of the firm’s popular X100VI, then despite the clear cosmetic resemblance, that’s simply not what you get. Instead, the X half is a dramatically different kind of camera that takes its inspiration from the experience of shooting film, and as its name suggests, specifically half-frame 35mm.
