Drones, once the domain of mainly professionals and well-to-do hobbyists, have slowly become more accessible to even the biggest penny-pinchers. Costs have dropped substantially over the past few years, and during this span, we have seen the technology advance exponentially. While early designs were more of a backyard novelty (and often a nuisance) than anything […]
University student Serina Tsubakihara liked to scuba dive with her Canon PowerShot G12 camera, taking it deep under the surface of the ocean to capture sea life around her native Japan.

Announced March 29, GoPro’s latest camera is a simplified, streamlined model simply called the Hero. At $ 199, it is the cheapest model in GoPro’s lineup that includes a built-in LCD monitor.

On Tuesday, March 28, Meyer Optik launched pre-orders for the Nocturnus 50/f0.95 III with an updated design and mounts for Fujifilm X and […]
We’ve recommended the Fujifilm X-T2 as our Editors’ Choice in the high-end APS-C mirrorless camera category since it was introduced. Now it has a more premium sibling, the X-H1 ($ 1,899, body only), which uses the same sensor, but adds in-body stabilization and more serious video features. There are some ergonomic changes, as well including […]

As you probably expected, getting your hands on a copy of Photoshop is going to cost you. But just how much Adobe’s industry-leading image editor costs depends on how you buy it.

Monopod is a fancy name for a stick you put a camera on — and as such, monopods seldom see any major technological advancements. If it’s not broken, why fix it? But the Steadicam Air 25 has found something to fix, and it may just be the most innovative monopod in the last decade. It […]
Sony’s RX10 series has delivered premium image quality in a fixed-lens, bridge camera design since its introduction. The fourth edition, the RX10 IV ($ 1,699.99), upgrades the image sensor to include phase detection focus, so it can shoot at up to 24fps while tracking subjects.

Canon’s G1 X Mark II was almost a great camera. It had a solid, wide aperture zoom lens, paired with a bigger sensor than competing models.
