Fujifilm GFX100RF review

2 weeks ago | cameralabs.com | Gordon Laing

IntroThe Fujifilm GFX100RF is a fixed lens rangefinder-styled camera with a 102 Megapixel medium format sensor. Announced in March 2025 and available in black or silver finishes, it essentially takes the large sensor, image processor and viewfinder of the GFX100S II and packs them into a smaller and lighter body with a fixed 28mm equivalent lens that’s more akin to a slightly chunkier version of the popular X100 series.
Fujifilm instax mini 41 review

2 weeks ago | cameralabs.com | Gordon Laing

The instax mini 41 is Fujifilm’s latest camera to use their hugely popular instax mini film. Launched in April 2025, the mini 41 produces credit-card sized prints using a fully analogue process that eject straightaway and gradually develop before your eyes in roughly 90 seconds. The camera costs around $99 or pounds, while instax mini film costs around $20 or £15 for a twin pack of 20 shots, which works out around a dollar or 75 pence per print.
Sigma BF review so far

2 weeks ago | cameralabs.com | Gordon Laing

The Sigma BF is a stylish mirrorless camera with a 24 Megapixel full-frame sensor and L-mount, packed into a body milled from a single block of aluminium. Launched in February 2025, Sigma says it’s designed as a simple system camera for everyday use, aimed at photographers first. Check out my first-looks preview video below, or keep scrolling for the written highlights! The minimalist design is machined from a single block of aluminium, with a style and finish similar to premium Apple products.
Panasonic Lumix S1R II review

3 weeks ago | cameralabs.com | Gordon Laing

IntroThe Panasonic Lumix S1R II is a high-end full-frame mirrorless camera with a 44 Megapixel BSI sensor and 8k video. Announced in February 2025, it’s the new flagship in the Lumix S series, and while it may numerically be the successor to the original S1R from 2019, it’s better to think of it as a more powerful version of the more recent S5 IIx with higher resolution photo and video along with enhanced controls.
Feisol TT-224 mini tripod review

3 weeks ago | cameralabs.com | Gordon Laing

The Feisol TT-224 is a table-top tripod now with extending legs. Launched in early 2025, it’s the follow-up to the TT-15 Mark II, one of my favourite mini tripods and a constant companion on my travels. Find out everything in my video review below, or keep scrolling for the written highlights! To paraphrase a famous saying, the best tripod is the one you have with you, and my days of lugging around a full-size model on the off-chance of needing it are long-over.
Canon EOS R50 V review

4 weeks ago | cameralabs.com | Gordon Laing

The Canon EOS R50 V is a mirrorless camera aimed at video creators who want a compact body with interchangeable lenses. It will take photos too, but it’s mostly designed for video. Announced in March 2025 alongside the PowerShot V1, the R50 V is available body alone or in a kit with the new RF-S 14-30 f4-6.3 IS STM Power Zoom lens. Coincidentally the kit costs roughly the same as the new PowerShot V1.
Canon PowerShot 350 retro review

1 month ago | cameralabs.com | Gordon Laing

Welcome back vintage camera lovers to another nostalgic tour of the early days of digital imaging, which today takes us back to 1997 when Canon launched the PowerShot 350 sporting one third of a Megapixel and a tilting screen. According to Canon’s official museum, this was their fourth PowerShot, albeit since two of those were PC Card models, it was arguably only their second digital compact with a conventional camera design.
Canon PowerShot V1 review so far

1 month ago | cameralabs.com | Gordon Laing

The Canon PowerShot V1 is a fixed lens compact with a large sensor. It may be the second V-series camera, after the V10, but looks like a continuation of the PowerShot G series, positioned above the G7X III rather than replacing it. It was announced by Canon Japan towards the end of February 2025 at a price of 148,000 Yen, so about $1000.
OM System OM-3 review

2 months ago | cameralabs.com | Gordon Laing

IntroThe OM System OM-3 from OM Digital Solutions is a compact weather-sealed mirrorless camera based on the Micro Four Thirds system with a 20.4 Megapixel stacked sensor. Announced in February 2025, it slots between the OM-5 and OM-1 Mark II in price and features. In terms of size and design it’s closer to the OM-5, albeit with a flat front, but inside you’re essentially getting the OM-1 Mark II with the same sensor, processor and autofocus, not to mention the latest menu systems too. Phew.
Fujifilm instax Wide Evo review

2 months ago | cameralabs.com | Gordon Laing

The Fujifilm instax Wide Evo is a digital camera with a built-in printer designed for the largest instax format. Announced in January 2025 it’s the second Wide camera in the current lineup. But while the earlier Wide 400 was a fully analogue camera, the Wide Evo is a digital hybrid that’s essentially a larger version of the mini Evo launched three years earlier.
