Sony’s featherweight 600mm: reach redefined.

Digital Camera World praises the Sony FE 600mm f/6.3 GM OSS as a compact, weather-sealed 600mm prime with dual XD autofocus motors and highly effective optical stabilization, delivering sharp wildlife/sports images at a fraction of the 600mm f/4 price; however, its f/6.3 aperture is modest and it sits between the FE 400mm f/4.5 GM OSS and Sigma’s 500mm in value and performance, making it a strong, handheld-friendly option—especially for those after serious reach without the extreme weight.

S27 Ultra Could redefine zoom with a bigger 4x telephoto, says leak

A fresh leak claims the Galaxy S27 Ultra may drop the current 10MP 3x telephoto in favor of a larger 4x super-telephoto with a 1/1.9-inch sensor, potentially boosting zoom photo quality and low-light performance, signaling a major change from the S26 Ultra’s camera layout, though final specs remain unconfirmed and rivals like Google and Apple are also advancing their zoom capabilities.

iPhone 18 Pro: Four clear advantages over the Ultra

Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro is expected to outshine the iPhone Ultra in four areas: a main camera with a variable aperture for better low‑light and depth control; longer battery life on the Pro Max thanks to a larger battery and efficiency gains; Face ID remains on the Pro while the Ultra reportedly relies on Touch ID due to space constraints; and a Telephoto camera remains exclusive to the Pro/Pro Max for optical zoom. A bonus note suggests the Pro’s traditional iPhone design may appeal to many users compared with Ultra’s foldable form factor.

Apple's Foldable iPhone Ultra Impresses Testers, Camera Gap Could Hold It Back

Apple's Foldable iPhone Ultra Impresses Testers, Camera Gap Could Hold It Back

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple's foldable iPhone Ultra is winning early hands-on praise for its pocket-friendly size, sturdy hinge, and iPad-like UI on the large unfolded display, and even works as a camera viewfinder, but its lack of a telephoto lens may hurt sales. The Ultra is said to use a dual rear camera with a 48MP main sensor plus ultra-wide, relies on side-mounted Touch ID instead of in-display Face ID to keep thickness around 4.5mm unfolded, and is expected to feature a ~5.5-inch outer display and ~7.8-inch inner display. It is rumored to debut around Sept. 9 with the iPhone 18 Pro/Pro Max and could start around $2,000, climbing for higher storage.

Pixel 11 Pro telephoto slips a close-focus upgrade under Google's radar

Android Authority reports that the Pixel 11 Pro’s telephoto camera uses a larger 48‑MP sensor (1/1.95") that can focus on closer subjects than the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro, enabling a closer minimum focus distance and potentially better low-light performance; the change is corroborated by a Reddit user’s hands‑on comparison, but Google hasn’t commented yet.

Oppo Find X9 Ultra's 200 MP Hasselblad Duo Falls Short on DxOMark

Oppo Find X9 Ultra's 200 MP Hasselblad Duo Falls Short on DxOMark

Even with two 200 MP Hasselblad cameras and strong color/low-noise performance in good light, the Oppo Find X9 Ultra scores 170 on DxOMark and ranks third behind Huawei Pura 80 Ultra and Vivo X300 Ultra. The camera hardware is impressive, but issues persist: no variable aperture can misfocus background objects in portraits, AI sharpening can look artificial, noise reduction struggles with backlit scenes, white balance can skew warm in low light, and telephoto performance lags behind rivals despite 10x optical zoom.

Canon's Cine-Servo 40-1200mm Extends Reach Without Changing Size

Canon announces the Cine-Servo 40-1200mm T5.0-10.8, a wider and longer successor to the 50-1000mm that preserves size and weight (6.6 kg, ~16 in).

The lens zooms from 40mm to 1200mm (T5.0 until 560mm, then T10.8 at the end), and will ship in September for about $79,999, remaining compatible with existing rigs and workflows.
