Welcome to the 795th DPReview Newsletter

Over the past few days we've been getting to grips with Fujifilm's newest beginner-friendly ILC, the X-T200, and (despite some pretty awful weather here in Seattle) shooting with some of this year's most interesting cameras and lenses.

We're also looking forward to the annual CP+ show in Japan next month, so keep your eyes on our homepage for more new announcements over the next few weeks. You'll find links to recent content below, and as always - thanks for reading!
