wired.com Scott Gilbertson 2025-10-05 08:00:00

If you want a camera that has a capable zoom, shoots excellent RAW images and great 4K/30 fps video, and manages to fit in most pockets, the Sony RX100 VII is your best bet. The Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 24-200-mm F2.8-4.5 zoom lens allows a huge range of shots from something that's pocketable—this alone makes it a great travel camera. The 1-inch sensor produces 20.1-MP images (RAW or JPG or both) and while f/2.8 isn't the fastest aperture, it's enough to handle shooting indoors in moderate light. T

All-Clad Gas Pizza Oven Review (2025): A Pie That Rotates Itself

wired.com Matthew Korfhage 2025-10-05 12:07:00

This pizza oven goes to 11. At least it says it does. A mere 20 minutes or so after firing up the new All-Clad Gas Pizza Oven—the beloved pot-and-pan brand’s first real foray into outdoor cooking—the oven's temperature gauge has gone deep into uncharted territory. The dial’s markings top out at around 900 degrees Fahrenheit, but the thermometer’s needle is somewhere in no man’s land, well above what might register as a thousand if its thermometer weren’t busy shrugging.

"Live Translation with AirPods is not available if you are in the EU and your Apple Account Country or Region is also in the EU," the company said on its iOS feature availability page.
