1 day ago | amateurphotographer.com | Andy Westlake

Alongside the Lumix S1II and S1IIE, Panasonic has announced a new large-aperture standard zoom, the Panasonic Lumix S 24-60mm F2.8. It’s designed to be a general-purpose, everyday lens suitable for a broad range of subjects, ranging from architecture and landscapes to portraits. Compared to the firm’s existing high-end Lumix S Pro 24-70mm F2.8, it’s dramatically smaller and lighter, and only about half the price.
Panasonic Lumix S1II and S1IIE 24MP twins revealed

1 day ago | amateurphotographer.com | Andy Westlake

Panasonic has introduced not just one, but two new 24MP models in its professional-oriented S1 range. Both the Panasonic Lumix S1II and S1IIE (E for “essentials”) share their body design with the high-resolution S1RII, with the nameplate being the only visible difference between the three cameras. However, the S1II has a ‘partially stacked sensor’ for high-speed shooting, while the S1IIE uses a conventional sensor at a rather lower price. Both cameras are due to go on sale in June.

I’ve recently been reviewing a range of the latest cameras from several manufacturers, including Sony’s A9 III and A1 II, plus the Canon EOS R1. Aside from increased use of AI to enhance auto focus capability, another thing they’ve in common is eye-watering price tags. These days it isn’t just photographers’ creativity being stretched by such tools; it’s their wallets.
Peak Design Roller Pro review - great design, but too large and expensive?

4 days ago | amateurphotographer.com | Andy Westlake

Peak Design is a company that inspires a loyal following among travellers and photographers alike. Its latest design, the Peak Design Roller Pro, is designed to appeal to both. On its own, it’s a rolling suitcase, and when used with the firm’s Camera Cubes, it becomes a camera case. After a hugely successful Kickstarter launch that raised over $13 million, it’s now available to pre-order through conventional retail channels.

Are new camera releases more about nostalgia than innovation?

1 week ago | amateurphotographer.com | Gavin Stoker

I’ve recently been having a play with the OM System OM-3, a lovely looking mirrorless digital camera with a satisfyingly tactile operation. But one that takes as its inspiration an analogue SLR from the former Olympus some four decades earlier. And prior to that the same manufacturer was re-imagining its own analogue PEN series from the 1960s. It’s not alone of course.
