Cameras

While 360-degree security cameras are great for imaging a wide area, they're not so great when you want to zoom in on something that looks suspicious. A new setup addresses that problem, by combining three cameras in one system.

Robots are invading our homes more and more, but (so far at least) their intentions seem nice. Enabot’s latest home robot Ebo looks to give video calls a bit more mobility, letting remote users drop in, roam around and chat.

Polaroid instant cameras of old were big, blocky snappers with one-press simplicity and the ability to throw out self-developing photos. The latest addition to the family follows the same design aesthetic, but the Go is a fraction of the size.

Canon broke into the full-frame mirrorless camera space in 2018 with the launch of the EOS R system. A compact RP joined the lineup the following year, and prosumers got two models in 2020. Now a new flavor aimed at professionals is on the way.

After first revealing a new APS-C DSLR camera in 2019, and following that with drip-fed tidbits about its new flagship in May and November 2020, Ricoh has now fully pulled back the curtain on the Pentax K-3 Mark III.

Autonomous vehicles and robots navigate with sensors and cameras – but visually-impaired people still get by with canes and guide dogs. Now, engineers have developed a wearable AI system that tracks obstacles and describes a person’s surroundings.

Back in 2019, Sigma unveiled a 24.6-MP full-frame mirrorless camera claimed to be the world's smallest and lightest. Now the imaging company has added the fp L, which packs a 61-MP full-frame sensor into the same body dimensions as its older sibling.

Nikon burst into the full-frame mirrorless camera space with two consumer models in 2018, and added a more wallet-friendly entry level flavor last year. But a dedicated version for professionals has been notably absent, until now.

Back in September 2020, we featured a London startup's interchangeable lens Micro Four Thirds camera prototype that used a smartphone as a controller and live viewfinder. Now the Alice Camera is making a production bid over on Indiegogo.

As it did with the Ivy Rec and PowerShot Zoom, Canon has launched a crowdfunding campaign to get an AI-powered camera called the PowerShot Pick into the hands of early adopters.

Back in mid-2019, Fujifilm turned concept into reality with the launch of the 102-megapixel medium format flagship, the GFX100. Now the company has squeezed much of that camera's functionality into a smaller body for the GFX100S.

Sony has pulled back the curtain on what it's calling the most technologically advanced camera that the company has ever released. The Alpha 1 leads the pack with a newly developed 50-megapixel sensor, 30 fps continuous shooting and 8K/30p video.
