May 11 is World Migratory Bird Day, and we want to see your best bird images! Take part in the official DPReview Editor’s Challenges for your chance to have your work featured on our homepage, in articles and galleries. We may even reach out to interview you about your work!

You don’t need to take your pictures on May 11. Anytime starting today is okay. Just be sure to submit your best work by May 16.

DPReview editors will review every photo you upload to an Editors’ Challenge. We’ll publish our favorites in a gallery and celebrate your work with our peers.

If you miss participating in this one, please look out for our next editors’ challenge. We have many DPReview Editor’s Challenges planned for our 25th anniversary; you can even leave a comment to suggest our next theme.

The Fujifilm X100VI is the sixth iteration of Fujifilm’s classically-styled large sensor compact. A 40MP X-Trans sensor, in-body stabilization and 6.2K video are the major updates, but do they make the camera better?

The Panasonic Lumix S5II launched the second generation of Panasonic’s full-frame mirrorless camera system and was the first Panasonic to feature phase detect autofocus. As our review reveals, it’s a heck of an all-around camera for both still and video shooters.

The latest Lumix puts a Four Thirds sensor in a full-frame body with boosted AF and a wealth of stills and video capabilities to create a Swiss Army Knife of a Micro Four Thirds camera.

The fourth camera in Leica’s SL series of full-frame mirrorless cameras sees the 60MP BSI sensor from the Q3 and M11 models arrive with a significant interface redesign.

Nikon Zf review: updated with video reel and impressions

The Nikon Zf is a 24MP full-frame mirrorless camera with classic looks that brings significant improvements to Nikon’s mid-price cameras. We just shot a sample reel to get a better feel for its video features and have added our impressions to the review.

What’s the best camera for around $2000? This price point gives you access to some of the most all-round capable cameras available. Excellent image quality, powerful autofocus and great looking video are the least you can expect. We’ve picked the models that really stand out.

What’s the best camera for travel? Good travel cameras should be small, versatile, and offer good image quality. In this buying guide we’ve rounded-up several great cameras for travel and recommended the best.

If you want a compact camera that produces great quality photos without the hassle of changing lenses, there are plenty of choices available for every budget. Read on to find out which portable enthusiast compacts are our favorites.

‘What’s the best mirrorless camera?’ We’re glad you asked.

Above $2500 cameras tend to become increasingly specialized, making it difficult to select a ‘best’ option. We case our eye over the options costing more than $2500 but less than $4000, to find the best all-rounder.
