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.

Sony has launched a new Xperia phone – but with the ability to act as an external monitor for a camera, 5G connectivity, a mini-HDMI port and a hefty price tag, the Xperia Pro is very different to a lot of the smartphones we're going to see in 2021.

To mark the 40th anniversary of its Oskar Barnack Award photo contest, Leica has launched given its M10-P rangefinder a Kevlar overcoat and released it as the limited-edition Reporter model.

Last year, Leica announced a 47.3-MP full-frame mirrorless camera called the SL2, which was itself an update to 2015's SL. Now the SL2-S has been unveiled, which comes with a big buffer for unlimited video recording time.

For its fourth Kickstarter, Miops has created a hot-shoe attachment called the Flex that's designed to help photographers "capture stunning timelapse videos, HDR photos, high-speed actions, extraordinary lightning strikes and more."

Clearly there are some photographers out there who love black and white images and have cash to burn. Following the launch of the M10 Monochrom in January, Leica has stripped its full-frame Q2 camera of all its color for the $6,000 Q2 Monochrom.

At its annual developer conference last week, Xiaomi announced an upcoming wide-aperture lens that retracts into the body of a smartphone when not in use, promising long optical zoom without increasing the girth of our ubiquitous mobile companions.

Canon has announced the ML-100 and ML-105 multi-purpose, full-frame industrial cameras with ultra-low light sensitivity equivalent to an ISO of 4.5 million, meaning that they will be able to record Full HD color video under a moonless night sky.

Back in May, Ricoh revealed a few details about a new flagship DSLR, which was unnamed at that time. Now the company has officially named the camera the Pentax K-3 Mark III and filled in the specs blanks.
