2025’s camera launches offered up a strange mixture of obvious updates and left-field oddities, leading into the quietest spring launch season we’ve ever experienced.
Now that Abby and Mitchell are back from CP+ and we’ve heard what the manufacturers are saying, we sat down to see if we can make sense of what the tea leaves tell us. Richard has been musing on the cameras that have and, notably, haven’t been announced, and has some ideas about the trends and directions they may foretell.
Join us as we mull over the things we’ve seen and the things manufacturers have told us, as we try to make sense of the new camera landscape, and what it might mean for your next camera.
Opinion: Why the future of cameras looks nothing like the past.
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!
