Video Cameras

The Insta360 Ace Pro 2 is the latest action camera on the market. The successor to the Ace Pro gets quite a few features including Leica-engineered color profiles, a dedicated Pro imaging chip, 8K video quality, and most importantly, AI processing.

Engineers at the University of Michigan (U-M) have developed a new camera that renders entire scenes normally, but uses onboard AI algorithms to turn every person into a simplistic stick figure before the images leave the camera.

Sometimes, violent people rein in their aggressive behavior if they know they're being recorded on video. Whipping out your phone and filming them, however, may make things even worse. That's where the PhoneCam is intended to come in.

San Francisco-based smart tech startup Humane has launched its first product. The Ai Pin essentially allows users to attach an AI chatbot and lifelogger to their clothing and access AI wherever they are.

It's been three years since DJI updated its 4K handicam, and that's clearly long enough as the Osmo Pocket launches into its third generation – coming with a 1-inch sensor, rotating touchscreen, and a significant price hike.

It's been less than a year since the launch of the Osmo Action 3 actioncam, but DJI is ready to rock its successor. The Osmo Action 4 boasts a larger image sensor plus improved low-light and dynamic-range performance.

Back in 2019, Insta360 crammed the image stabilization tech from its 360-degree cameras into a thumb-sized 1080p actioncam/lifelogger called the Go. More capabilities were added in 2021, and now the much-improved Go 3 has been revealed.

Canon has announced the first product in its new PowerShot V series. The V10 4K vlogging camera is aimed squarely at mobile YouTube and TikTok creators looking to "level-up their creative content and step-up from using a smartphone."

Live-streamed videos always look better when they include multiple camera angles, but most people don't have the funds or expertise to set up a mini multi-camera TV studio in their house. The RayBit SC1 system is designed to change that.

Last year we reviewed the Feiyu Pocket 2S, an actioncam with a hard-wired detachable gimbal camera head. Well, Feiyu has now upped its game with the fully wireless Pocket 3, which looks like it should make for much easier shooting on the go.

Although smartphones now shoot amazing video, their form factor still makes them difficult to hold steady while filming. The SmallRig P20 is the latest device designed to address that shortcoming, and it folds into a compact capsule when not in use.

Most of us do fine with regular camcorders and smartphone cameras, but vloggers (video bloggers) have special requirements. The Amkov Pro is designed with such folks in mind, as it combines multiple vloggy features in a fairly inexpensive package.
