Insta360, best known, as the name suggests, for its 360-degree cameras, has unveiled a new mini action/vlogging camera, the Insta360 Go 2. With most action cameras you face fussing around with mounts and clamps and sticky pads, but while the Insta360

Neil has been a keen amateur photographer since 1998. His first DSLR was a Canon EOS 300D, followed by a 40D, and he now shoots with a 5D Mk II. As he’s semi-retired, Neil has more time to spend taking photos, and he’s looking for expert advice to he

1 HOUR We’ve become used to all manner of limitations over the past year. Faraway trips have been few and far between, and for many of us a daily walk has provided the only opportunity to head out with our camera and capture landscapes. If you’re luc

One of the best things about digital imaging is the ability it gives you to create places and scenes that could otherwise only exist in the realms of fantasy. With a few simple Photoshop skills, anyone can craft a scene that wouldn’t look out of plac

A vailable in Canon and Nikon mount options, this Sigma lens beats own-brand legends like the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM III and Nikon AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8G ED for image quality, as well as undercutting them for price. Build quality and handling are e

Uniquely in this group, Tamron’s wide-angle zoom for full-frame Canon and Nikon cameras sports an optical stabiliser, with 4.5-stop effectiveness – although while that’s useful at dusk or indoors, it’s of zero benefit for long exposures in astro phot

Designed for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras, the Firin 20mm is available in two versions, either with or without autofocus. The design of this autofocus edition looks much cleaner, simpler, and more in keeping with Sony mirrorless cameras. Autofocus
