25 Years of DPReview in Partnership with MPB

September, 15th 2023

It was a hectic yet productive week for our crew, leaving you with plenty to catch up on. Richard shared his full, in-depth review of the Canon EOS R5 II this week. We also published our Hasselblad XCD 20-35mm F3.2-4.5 E sample gallery. 

On the news side, Apple's annual September iPhone event kicked off the week, and we partnered with our colleagues at Gear Patrol, who were on the scene at Apple Park, to answer your initial questions about the new devices. A slew of quirky cameras and intriguing lenses also broke cover as well.
