It seems that with every new smartphone release, DxO has to offer up a new standard. It’s not surprising, though, really. Mobile phone camera technology is advancing at a pretty ridiculous pace. So, it makes sense that with each new flagship phone release, things get better and better. But it’s happening with alarming frequency. Less than 6 months ago, the iPhone 8 Plus achieved the highest DxOMark score ever of 94....
The current CompactFlash and SD Card standards have been around with us for a good while now. CompactFlash has already had its dominance challenged in the new battle between XQD and CFast, but SD has thus far been relatively unscathed.

The stunning ‘Brecon in Winter’ by Will Davies was chosen by the judges as the overall winner of the 2022 Landscape Photographer of the Year award.

In a perfect world, you’d come home after every session with 100% of the images being tack sharp but unfortunately, that’s rarely the case....
Although pretty much everything was revealed through leaks already, Sony has now officially announced their new Sony ZV-1 compact camera.
