After getting a new lease on life in 2023, we here at DPReview are making up for lost time and getting the throttle back up to max. Here’s a recap of the reviews and testing we’ve done this year so far, with more (and more and more) to come as the year goes on!
Sony a9 III initial review
Photo: Richard Butler
The Sony a9 III is the company’s latest high-speed pro sports camera. It features a Stacked CMOS sensor capable of shooting at 120 fps and able to read all its pixels out simultaneously: the long hoped-for ‘global’ shutter. Our studio scene analysis shows that it comes at a cost.

Panasonic’s Lumix S 100mm F2.8 Macro is a full-frame L-mount lens that’s designed to be compact and lightweight, coming in at 82mm (3.2″) long and 74mm (2.9″) in diameter and tipping the scales at 298g (10.5 oz). Hands-on, we can confirm it is very tidy and light.

Nikon Zf review

Nikon’s Zf is a full-frame mirrorless camera with classic styling, built around a 24MP BSI CMOS sensor. It’s designed to mimic the look of the company’s FM2 SLR from the early 1980s, meaning it effectively becomes a full-frame counterpart to the company’s Z fc APS-C camera.

Sony’s 16-35mm F2.8 GM II lens is smaller, lighter and more capable than its predecessor. Optical improvements come in the form of better corner-to-corner sharpness and a new close-focus distance of just 22 cm.

When we published our iPhone 15 Pro Sample Gallery, we didn’t yet have an iPhone 15 Pro Max model in hand. In addition to boasting a larger 6.7-inch screen, the Max differentiates itself by having a 5x (120mm equivalent) telephoto camera with a clever tetraprism design. The iPhone 15 Pro’s telephoto camera, meanwhile, shares the same 3x (77mm equivalent) field of view as the iPhone 14 Pro. Is the extra reach worth the bigger physical size and higher cost?
