Welcome to the 771st DPReview Newsletter

The bigger the camera, the harder it is to test - and that's never been more true than in the case of the Fujifilm GFX 100. We published the final parts of our long-awaited review of the GFX 100 today, and what a long, interesting journey it has been. Hopefully we get to take a break before more 100MP cameras start showing up on the market, but who knows what the autumn will bring.

Other reviews in progress include detailed looks at the Nikon Z 35mm F1.8 S, and the Sony Cyber-shot RX100 VII. You'll find galleries from both, linked below. Meanwhile, Chris and Jordan have been getting to grips with the Nikon Z 24-70mm F2.8 S.
