Smartphone makers take the long view
It's also been a busy year for smartphone makers, particularly in the hyper-competitive Android market. Beyond Al features, slimmer dimensions and beefed-up battery life, some cool technology came to the fore, exemplified by the Oppo Find X9 Pro. As well as being able to capture still photos at 50MP by default on all three rear cameras, a new Hasselblad Hi Res mode enables you to shoot 200MP still images. While this feature might seem overkill for a comparatively small phone sensor, it gives lots of cropping flexibility.

Year of the power compacts
As can be seen in Andy Westlake’s extensive camera roundup (starting on page 71), 2025 has seen the release of several high-end compacts designed specifically for photography, rather than video or content creators. It's another reminder that the formerly moribund compact camera sector is now in rude health!
