What do you do when you’re out and about and forgot your camera? Well, if for some strange reason you don’t want to use your phone, Five Below has you covered. I checked out the store’s $15 camera offering, the Up-Tech Mini Digital Camera. Is it worth it?
If you've opened up any social media at all in the last year or two, you've probably seen a fair number of AI-generated videos set to music. I know for me, my feed is filled with many strange videos involving Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, and a bag of Cheetos. But none of those videos have had any dialogue—until now, with Google's Veo 3.
One need only look at GoPro's stock price, once at almost $94 in 2014 and now trading at less than a dollar, to recognize that maybe action cameras — and other niche, specialized cameras — aren't the best ideas. Still, that hasn't stopped me from buying a good many of them over the years, and after watching this video, I have some feelings.
While the 360 camera market has seen a lot of entries from established names like GoPro and Ricoh, as well as upstarts like Insta360 and Kandao, there's one industry giant that's been notably silent: DJI. That may about to change.
It seems that the major manufacturers are hell-bent on making prime lenses obsolete, or at least it seems that way with Sony's release of the new FE 50-150mm f/2 GM lens. Should wedding photographers bite?
Another year, another Insta360 release. While that sounds like an anti-climactic statement about the new X5, it's not meant to be. While there may not be any headline-grabbing features like higher-resolution footage, there are a few improvements that make the camera just a bit more livable than the X4.
As a longtime Canon user, it was a somewhat painful switch to buy a Sony ZV-1 as my point-and-shoot camera. Not because the Sony ZV-1 was a bad camera, but more so because the way that brand's cameras work is so different from what I'm used to. So what's it like the other way around with the Canon PowerShot V10?
Buried in Nintendo's Switch 2 announcement during Nintendo Direct earlier in the week was a quiet accessory that brings Nintendo back into the camera game. Sort of.
When I was growing up, Nintendo's Game Boy was all the rage. I never did quite understand the appeal then of its Game Boy Camera accessory, a camera that plugged into the cartridge slot to make .014-megapixel black and white images, but the accessory itself has become somewhat of a cult hit.
According to a report from Semafor and other media outlets, Patrick Witty, who has worked for National Geographic, The New York Times and Time, amongst others, has been tapped for the job of Chief Photographer, though Witty hasn't replied to queries confirming the role.
What do you do when your heart wants a Sony RX10 IV, but your stock portfolio just took a beating since the start of the year? You turn to superzooms of yesteryear, and that's where I've come up with this interesting specimen from 2006: the Panasonic Lumix FZ50.
It's a topic of constant debate amongst photographers: Is a full frame camera "better" than a smaller format?
I'm not quite sure what the fascination is with young folks and 2000s-era point-and-shoot cameras, but it seems like everyone is snapping these up in droves.
The OM-3 from OM System is here, and finally, it shows photographers that, yes, someone is alive and designing new camera bodies at the company.
In what seems like a time-honored tradition every time Adobe announces a price increase, photographers are looking at alternatives to the company's subscription-based Creative Cloud photo editing tools.
About four months ago, I downgraded my phone. I went from what would be considered a more photography-oriented phone, the iPhone 14 Pro, to the less photo-feature-rich iPhone 13 Mini. I don’t miss the photography pieces of the phone at all, and I’ll bet you won’t either.
There are so many times I've asked myself: If I were starting fresh, would I end up within the same system of gear that I'm using now? When I started photography, Sony wasn't even a player in the DSLR game, and so inertia has invariably led me to (mostly) Canon and Nikon over the years. But today's new photographers are spoiled for choice. Which way to go?
There’s always been a gaping hole in Canon’s APS-C strategy. While there are plenty of competent APS-C cameras from the company, it hasn’t always produced the professional lenses to match the bodies.
I go through many a season with my gear. Sometimes it's Nikon season; other times, it's Panasonic or Fuji season. But no matter how many times I try to downsize, I always end up back where I started: with too many cameras.
