It's easy to get carried away and lose sight of just how far we've come in the smartphone world. Apple's iPhone 14 is 7.8 millimeters thick but can communicate directly with satellites, boasts photographic talents that eclipse dedicated cameras and action cams, and does so starting at just $799.

Improved low-light camera performance, Clever safety features (you hope you won't need)

Improvements feel evolutionary, eSIM may prove a headache, iPhone 13 offers much the same for $100 less

The iPhone 14 is better than its predecessor, but it's also more expensive and doesn't have many significant upgrades.

Even faster, with a better camera and more features.

Charger is optional. Lacks telephoto lens. Price has been increased.

More like an iPhone 13S. The generational upgrades for the iPhone 14 are limited to a few subtle changes. At the same time, however, the base price climbs to 800 USD, while the only true innovation happens inside the iPhone 14 Pro series.

excellent OLED display, dust- and waterproof, fast Wi-Fi, wide range of supported frequencies, great camera, very fast performance, good battery life

display limited to 60 Hz, charging rate limited to 20 watts, no macro lens, wide notch

Nikon's Z MC 105mm f2.8 VR S is a very good macro lens which also doubles up as a light telephoto. It produces very sharp images with almost no field-curvature or colour aberrations and can confidently be used wide open and in challenging contra-light situations.

We had to wait quite a while for a native Z mount Nikon macro lens, and then two came along at once. The 105mm f/2.8 VR is the more advanced (and more expensive) of the two, but it provides stunning results for lovers of close-up photography. With a useful focal length for portraits and other subjects too, it's also quite a flexible option.

In-built stabilization; Excellent bokeh; Advanced coatings;

Somewhat large and bulky

The Z series of lenses continues to offer extraordinary optics and in this case at least, with a reasonable price tag to go with it. The 105mm focal length is versatile and covers a multitude of subjects and is well established as a firm favourite in macro lenses.

Outstanding sharpness, Very low CA, Low distortion, No flare, Beautiful bokeh, Weather resistance, High construction standards, OLED display, Customisable control functions, Excellent ergonomics, Virtually silent, fast AF

The Nikon Z-series lens line-up now has two macro lenses and they’re both very good, but the Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S has a few refinements that make it worth the extra money over the Nikkor Z MC 50mm f/2.8.

1:1 Magnification, VR Image Stabilization, OLED Lens Information Panel

Aperture range varies with focus distance, About 1.5x the price of the Nikon Nikkor Z MC 50mm f/2.8

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

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue

Nikon Z 105mm F2.8 VR S is a Fixed aperture Auto Focus (AF) Macro Prime lens with Optical Image stabilization and 35mm FF max sensor coverage, and it is designed to be used with Z Mount cameras. What type of photography is the Nikon Z 105mm F2.8 VR S lens good for?
