DxO PureRAW 3 gives you the company's core noise and optical defect corrections in a clean, simple package designed to work alongside Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom. Two years ago, French software company DxO took a new tack with the noise and optical defect corrections for which it has long been famed. Previously, if you wanted to use these tools, you had to leave your existing imaging app and learn to use DxO PhotoLab instead. With the new DxO PureRAW, though, you can stick with your existing workflow and still take advantage of some undeniably impressive correction technology. Last y ..read more

With the announcement of the site's closure, in amongst the understandable messages of disappointment, there's been a tremendous outpouring of kind words about the site and its reviews, particularly those from the early days. The whole process has seen me looking back at the the early days of the site, long before I joined, and one thing I thought it would be nice to do is shoot our current studio scene with the first camera ever reviewed for the site. As luck would have it, we still had a Canon PowerShot Pro70 sitting in a box: possibly from the PIX2015 trade show, possibly from when w ..read more

It's with a mix of melancholy and wonder that I take this trip down memory lane. I had long planned to write about my first DSLR camera, the EOS D2000, a Canon/Kodak mashup from the early days of professional-level digital photography cameras. What I hadn't planned on was the recognition, in the final days of DPReview, that the camera was born the same year that DPReview was. It takes on a different shade of blue to see the parallels, a physical object that acts as a reminder both of time's passage and of how far we've come as a newsroom and industry. 'Poetic' may be overstating it, in the sam ..read more

In the summer of 2022, I experienced one of those moments in life that demanded adventure. I had moved out of one house and purchased another but couldn’t move in for three months. I had to live somewhere, so I settled on spending the better part of the summer in a small town in western Montana. I learned to slow down and appreciate the simple things in life a bit more, and the late sunsets – almost 10 pm for several weeks – left plenty of time for evening photography. At the time, I was also working on our review of the Canon EOS R3 (yep, I know, we never finished it), so the R3 was al ..read more

Remote ID is coming later this year, and like it or not, no matter what type of drone pilot you are – recreational or professional – you're likely going to be required to abide by the new rule. What is it? A requirement for your drone to have either an internal signal broadcasting your location, plus your drone's latitude, longitude and heading, or an attached broadcast module sending the same data. Anyone with a smartphone in the vicinity of your launch point will be able to know where you are located while you're flying. There are exceptions – we'll get to those in this article.
