The DPReview Newsletter
Thursday, January 25, 2024
| | In this newsletter, you've heard what we're thinking beyond the headlines, detailing how we review products and occasional peaks behind the scenes. But today, we want to turn the microphone over to you! Whether you're new or you've been with us for a while, please take a moment to fill out this short newsletter preferences survey.
Your answers will help us evolve the newsletter to include more of what you want from DPReview. Let us know; we're listening! After the survey, please also consider our 'Question of the Week' down below. We've been asking these questions and sharing reader responses for the last few months. It's been a hoot and we love reading your thoughts. So, lay them on us.

| |  | | The EOS R100 is the cheapest way to get into Canon's RF-mount system. But, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for, since its older components make the R100 feel dated. | |  | | The Fujifilm XF 23mm F2 R WR delivers a 35mm full-frame equivalent field of view and stands out due to its small size and weather-resistant build. However, it faces stiff competition from lenses with faster F1.4 apertures. In this review, we tell you what you need to know about this popular lens. | |  | | Hasselblad has announced the CFV 100C, a 100MP version of its medium format back. The 100C features phase detect AF and face detection when used with the 907X camera and XCD lenses. | | | Fujifilm will provide GFX100 II and accessories as prizes and support for ten workshops during World Press Photo's global exhibitions in 2024. | | | | The Nikon Zf is a 24MP full-frame mirrorless camera with excellent image quality, very good autofocus and classic styling that borrows from the manufacturer's film bodies of yesteryear. | | | | Reader question of the week
Last week, we asked for your reactions to Apple's Vision Pro; here is what you told us:
DPReview readers on Apple Vision Pro
- "At my age, I am still trying to conquer my iPhone. But wait, will you be able to go for a hike, see something you want to photograph and just blink or wink an eye and capture it? Then WiFi it back to your desktop?"
Good question. I'm personally not sure if we'll get to the blink/wink stage soon. There's also the privacy issue and how the device will signal to others that you're recording. That was an ongoing concern with Google Glass when it hit the streets. - Shaminder
- "This is a device for developers...This device will eventually lead to the device that will be desirable."
- "It's a toy. Not made for wearing for 8 hours. You would have to charge it 4 times to do that."
- "I have to admit, I had not really taken this thing seriously. Until now. Mother of God, this is every science fiction interface you've ever seen - but it actually seems to work!"
- "I really like the "Further Reading" section!!!"
And we like you too! Thanks for reading and reaching out. I'm going to open this up, if someone has a question they'd like to see in this section, e-mail me. - Shaminder
Thanks everyone for sharing with us.
Here's our next question of the week: What is your favorite lens and why? | | | | We're as guilty as anyone of getting excited about shiny new gear and features, but let's not lose sight of the gear we already have by our side. Let's better appreciate what we have, consider what gives us joy, and get out there to take some photos. | | | | The iPhone 15 Pro Max stretches into new telephoto territory with its tetraprism design and 5x (120mm equivalent) reach. Is the extra optical oomph worth the upgrade over the iPhone 15 Pro's 3x (77mm equivalent) telephoto? | | | | Apple's $3,499 "spatial computer" is now officially available for preorder, with orders shipping on February 2nd alongside in-store availability. | | | | | |
