Zeiss Batis Lens – Those who have the luxury to bask in Sony’s full-frame world have new Zeiss lenses to look forward to. The E-Mount lenses arrive with a wide 25mm f/2 and a portrait ready 85mm f/1.8. Both are capable lenses with Zeiss award winning glass,but what sets these apart from the rest is that the new Batis lens line will feature an OLED display that shows focal plane distance, and depth of field. It’s a pretty nifty function for little information, but having an OLED on the lens may be better than the Canon red ring when it comes to branding.

Pentax K-3 II – If you’re in the market for a semi-pro DSLR and are scoffing at the price of Canon’s 7D, then look at the new K-3 II. The Pentax name doesn’t have the same sort of brand recognition as Canon or Nikon, but they really do make some great stuff. The first K-3 was already a beast with its in-body image stabilization and weather seal system, and the II is an extension of a well-built camera. The sturdy construction is paired with a new sensor-shift Image Stabilization, built-in GPS, and a 27-point auto-focus. If you’re tired of the entry-level DSLR and want more manual controls in your fingertips, then consider the K-3.
