This week kicked off with a few announcements, bringing new options for those searching for compact gear. Sigma released the 17-40mm F1.8 DC Art, a lightweight and fast standard zoom for APS-C. The lens raised some questions about the speed of the lens, and frustration for Nikon users left out of the party. On the same day, OM System unveiled the OM-5 II, a Micro Four Thirds camera with an IP53 dust and water resistance rating, resulting in division about how significant the updates are.
The entire DPReview team had a chance to sit down and chat about this week’s releases and the community’s discussion around both. Plus, we were able to talk about something fresh off the press: Adobe’s potentially powerful camera app for iPhones. You can check out our thoughts on the new gear and Adobe’s app in the video below.
Our DPREVIEW Tribute:
After nearly 25 years of operation, DPReview closed on 10 April 2023. This difficult decision was part of the annual operating plan review that parent company, Amazon, shared earlier this year.
Over the course of 25 years, DP Review built up a reputation as being one of the most informative places to go for information about that new camera or lens you’re after. DP Review began as an independent reviews site based in the UK in 1998, the brainchild of Philip and Joanna Askey, but it was eventually purchased by Amazon in 2007 and relocated over to Seattle in the USA in 2010.
Cheers DPReview – thanks for the great work and content that guided photographers, videographers and techno junkies the world over!
