Welcome to the 562nd Digital Photography Review newsletter. I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend - those of you in the UK and USA, at least. I spent mine taking pictures, as usual. If you did the same, remember you can share your images in our forums and galleries - we'd love to see them. In the meantime, here's a look at some recent content highlights! Canon Rebel T6s/T6i First Impressions Review updated We've finished putting the Canon EOS Rebel T6s and T6i (760D and 750D) through our battery of image quality tests, and have updated our First Impressions Review with these results, along with explanations of what you might expect out of Canon's latest 24.2MP APS-C sensors. We've also added galleries of real-world samples and a detailed shooting experience. Read our updated first impressions review of the Canon Rebel T6s / T6i Video Overview: Fujifilm X-T10 We've been shooting with a close-to-final version of the Fujifilm X-T10 for a few weeks now, and decided to take a bit of a closer look at this classically-styled interchangeable lens camera.

We picked out our favorite photos from this 60X zoom camera and have compiled them into a real-world samples gallery for your enjoyment.

The F2.2 lens provides no optical image stabilization, but the M9 is the first One model capable of recording 4K video.

The real differences between these two models is in the user experience, as the T6s provides advanced touches like a top-panel LCD and rear quick control dial for easier access to exposure settings. We delve into what it's like using each of these cameras in our shooting experience. Read more Read full story → Video Overview: Fujifilm X-T10 Published on Friday, May 22, 2015 7:06:00 PM GMT We've been shooting with a close-to-final version of the Fujifilm X-T10 for a few weeks now, and decided to take a bit of a closer look at this classically-styled interchangeable lens camera.

The R7 features a 5" 1080p screen, while a 6" screen with the same resolution places the Plus model firmly into phablet territory. In the camera department both smartphones combine a 13MP sensor with an F2.2 lens but the R7 Plus chip is, like the Huawei P8, of the RGBW variant and supported by laser-AF and a dual-LED flash. Read more Read full story → Canon EOS Rebel T6s/T6i added to studio test scene comparison Published on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 4:58:00 PM GMT The Canon EOS Rebel T6s and T6i (760D and 750D) have been in our hands long enough to put together a couple of real-world sample galleries, and now we've added the cameras to our studio test scene comparison tool. The new 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor that these cameras share represents a step forward for Canon's Rebel lineup, which had been using an 18MP chip since the T2i. Read more Read full story → Sigma announces price and release date for its 21mm dp0 Quattro compact camera Published on Tuesday, May 19, 2015 10:21:21 PM GMT Sigma UK has said that the company's latest compact camera from the Quattro line will cost £899.99 and will be available from the end of June. First announced at the CP+ show in February this year, the dp0 Quattro is the fourth of the unusually designed Quattro range and features a 14mm F4 lens.

With a close focus distance of just 0.15m/6in. and a fast F1.4 aperture, this lens is super versatile. In our sample testing we found it to be sharp, and to offer pleasing bokeh.

They share the same 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor, 19-point AF system, and a new 7560 pixel RGB + IR metering sensor, while their differences are mainly in the user experience. With a couple of final-production models we headed into the great outdoors with them. See galleries Read full story → Samsung releases NX1 firmware update, with improvements for both photo and video Published on Tuesday, May 19, 2015 1:00:00 AM GMT Samsung has announced yet another firmware update for its flagship NX1 mirrorless camera.
