Sony has added another powerful option to its ZV line of easy-to-use compact vlogging cameras that began in 2020, with the new model bringing a full-frame image sensor, uncropped 4K video and access to more than 70 E-mount lenses.

Last year, Duovox launched a Kickstarter for a compact full-color night-vision camera built around a custom Sony sensor. Now the startup has returned to the platform with a military-grade monocular rocking full color and IR night vision capabilities.

Scientists at Duke University have developed an incredibly powerful new camera that combines dozens of lenses to capture images and video at resolutions of thousands of megapixels, in three dimensions.

Sony has paired with QD Laser to create a retinal projection camera kit. By bypassing the outer layers of the eyes, the kit allows those who would otherwise have difficulty doing so see and capture the world around them.

Canon's EOS R mirrorless family has grown by two. The R8 is billed as the lightest full-frame EOS camera so far and is aimed at "the up-and-coming video or photo enthusiast" while the R50 is for smartphone creators looking to step up.

Last year, Samsung demonstrated the power of its monstrous 200-megapixel camera sensor by printing a billboard-sized cat photo taken on a phone. Now the company has started mass producing its successor, the Isocell HP2.

Panasonic has launched the S5 Mk II full-frame mirrorless cameras at CES 2023, which sport a new sensor with phase-detection AF for fast and accurate subject tracking, can record 6K video at 30 fps, and there's a built-in fan for extended shooting.

Xiaomi joined forces with imaging titan Leica last year for the 12S Ultra flagship smartphone, and now the company has repeated the formula for the 13 Series, which is also one of the first to be powered by Qualcomm's latest mobile chipset.

There's been talk of including a retractable lens in a smartphone camera array for a while now, with both Xiaomi and Oppo throwing their hats in the ring. But seemingly out of nowhere comes the Phantom X2 Pro from Tecno, which sports just such a lens.

The fifth generation in a line of retro-styled mirrorless cameras that began in 2014 has been announced. The Fujifilm X-T5 gains a new sensor/processor combination, features in-body image stabilization, and can record 6.2K video with 10-bit color.

Canon has updated the EOS R6 full-frame mirrorless camera launched in 2020. The Mark II becomes the first in the EOS R range to move to the second generation, and boasts a new image sensor, uncropped 4K video chops, and improved subject-tracking AF.

Way back in 2013, Sony claimed the crown for the world's first full-frame mirrorless cameras with the Alpha 7 and 7R models. Now the fifth-generation 7R has been announced, which unlocks the power of its 61-MP sensor thanks to new Bionz processors.
