The iPhone 14 isn’t much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it’s still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance

Display could use some upgrades

The iPhone 14 isn't much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it's still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance

Display could use some upgrades

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

It’s a great handset, but the improvements are so iterative that most of you will hardly notice what’s new.

Action mode offers truly superb video stabilization. eSIM makes it easy to switch phones (with other iPhones). Satellite SOS and Crash Detection add peace of mind.

Many of the specs remain the same as on the iPhone 13. Small battery gains. Photonic Engine isn’t as revolutionary as suggested.

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features

Apple has given select media outlets and YouTubers access to the new iPhone 14 ahead of when it begins arriving in customers' hands on Friday, September 16. There are two models of the ‌iPhone‌ 14, the standard 6.1-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 and the larger 6.7-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 Plus.

A slight camera upgrade, new emergency features, and... not a whole lot else

Better selfie camera, Good battery life, Crash detection and satellite SOS are neat

It’s more like an iPhone 13S, Display is still 60Hz, eSIM transition will be easy for most but painful for some

Fujifilm X system creators who prefer a wide prime have a wealth of quality lens options. The Fujinon XF 18mm F1.4 R LM WR ($999.95) is the second of its focal length and gives fans of the angle an all-weather, f/1.4 alternative to the aging XF 18mm F2 R. The new lens sports an optical formula that better matches with higher-pixel cameras, gathers more light, and focuses closer. It's a substantial upgrade over the XF 18mm F2, but doesn't displace the XF 16mm F1.4 R WR ($999.99) as our Editors' Choice winner, which we like a bit more in part because of its manual focus clutch.Wide Angle With F1.4 Aperture The XF 18mm F1.4 R LM WR is a metal-barrel prime with a basic black finish. At 3.0 by 2.7 inches (HD) and 13.1 ounces, it matches well with mid-sized cameras like the X-Pro3 and X-S10. With slimmer cameras, like the X-E4 or X-T30 II, it's a little bit front-heavy. That's expected for an F1.4 lens, though—the XF 16mm F1.4 and Sigma 16mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary are similarly sized. ...

The Fujifilm Fujinon XF 18mm F1.4 R LM WR is a fantastic prime lens for fans of moderately wide views, and we especially like its weather-protected build.

Tack-sharp optics; Bright F1.4 aperture; Dust and splash protection; On-lens aperture control; Nominal focus breathing; Linear manual focus a plus for video

No anti-smudge fluorine coating; Can't de-click aperture ring; A little bulky for slimmer cameras

The Fujifilm XF 18mm F1.4 is a great option for a bright, fast walkaround prime for X-mount shooters. Equivalent to 27mm F2.1 on a full-frame camera, it's fast enough to offer a decent separation between foreground and background, despite its wide field-of-view. Optically it's sharp wide open, offers pleasing bokeh, and has minimal chromatic aberrations. Autofocus is fast thanks to the use of linear motors, though video shooters may find the manual focus experience limiting. For X-mount shooters, the XF 18mm F1.4 is worth the price premium over the XF 18mm F2.

Landscape, street, architecture, environmental portrait and low light photographers looking for decent subject / background separation and top notch image quality.;

Video shooters who want more nuanced manual focus control.;
