I May Have Found the Best Travel Camera

CNET's key takeaways Basically, it's Fujifilm's ultra-popular X100VI point-and-shoot camera Leans into the company's film simulation recipes by giving them their own dial for fast, direct access.

While most people don't need a special camera for travel -- their phone will work just fine -- those of us into photography as a hobby are always on the lookout for cool new gear. To be fair, buying

The camera I recommend to most new photographers is not a Nikon or Sony (and now it's $100 off)

ZDNET's key takeaways The Canon EOS R100 mirrorless camera is a great starter for aspiring photographers. It features a 24-megapixel sensor for great image quality and color and can capture 4K (UHD) video at 24 frames per second. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a flip-out preview screen.

iPhone 17 Pro: New images could be best look yet at coming redesign

Apple’s big iPhone 17 Pro launch event isn’t too far away now, and recently the number of dummy models showing what to expect from the new lineup have been improving. The latest offers a great look at what the iPhone 17 Pro might look like in black, with a redesigned ‘camera bar’ and repositioned Apple logo.

The S350 indoor camera features dual telephoto and wide-angle lenses with 360-degree motion tracking and optional local storage to avoid monthly fees.

Wild Galaxy S26 Ultra leak points to a massively upgraded 200MP camera

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A leaker has claimed that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could get a Sony-made 200MP camera. This camera would be notably larger than the 200MP main camera used on the S25 Ultra, suggesting improved image quality. This would be an uncharacteristic move by Samsung, as it’s typically been conservative with hardware upgrades. The Galaxy S25 Ultra has the same 200MP main camera seen on Samsung’s previous two Ultra phones, and we weren’t expecting an upgrade in

5 iPhone 17 Pro Max Rumors Are Making Me Rethink My Next Upgrade

Reolink Altas Review: As Good as a Battery-Powered Security Camera Gets

I find cameras bolted onto my home supremely useful, although maybe not for the reasons I’m expected to. Yes, I care whether a camera reliably detects that someone is on my porch, but it’s not about break-ins—I mostly want to know when my packages have been delivered. Otherwise, I want a security camera to reliably record, be easy to use, last a long time on a charge, and not need a cloud subscription to work. So far, after more than a week with the Reolink Altas, the battery-powered Wi-Fi camer

This phone has an industry-first switchable dual telephoto camera

Cameo’s birthday reminder app, Candl, is a weak attempt at a comeback

Around this time last year, Cameo hit a significant low point. Its valuation dropped by at least 90%, and the company’s dire financial situation meant it was unable to pay a $600,000 fine from the FTC. Now, the company behind the celebrity greeting app is exploring a new, albeit somewhat dull, avenue for growth. On Thursday, Cameo announced the launch of Candl, a birthday planning app designed for forgetful users who want to celebrate their friends’ birthdays without being late to the party. I

Finally, a battery floodlight camera that's perfect for my dark yard (and it's 54% off)

ZDNET's key takeaways The Blink Outdoor 4 Floodlight Camera is a practical, battery-powered solution for darker areas around your house that lack wiring and outlets. The AA batteries allow the floodlights to beam at 700 nits of brightness, which is not the most powerful on the market but good enough to see your surroundings. The Blink app is feature-rich, with plenty of camera settings to customize for the best surveillance, but you'll need a paid subscription to unlock the best features. View

The Petkit Purobox Ultra is $250 off for Prime Day

This automatic litter box, the Petkit Purobot Ultra (8/10, WIRED Recommends) from pet tech leader Petkit, dares to ask the question: Have we gone too far (as a pet-obsessed society)? This automatic litter box uses a camera to monitor litter box usage, logging every time your pet has used it, and even shows your cat’s stool so you can closely monitor their health to more easily see when something seems amiss. It's normally $1,000—we've tracked it at that price for most of the last three months—

I held the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and it finally feels like Samsung actually tried

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series is the most widely available book-style foldable phone family. However, I’ve only begrudgingly recommended these devices to people wanting a large foldable. That’s mostly because Samsung has coasted on the design and hardware front while rivals have sprinted ahead with exciting designs and impressive hardware. After laying my hands on the Galaxy Z Fold 7, though, I’d argue that in some ways, it’s the most cutting-edge foldable

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 is thinner, lighter and has a larger 8-inch display

With the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung is getting closer than ever to perfecting its folding smartphones. The new model is a substantial improvement over the Fold 6 with a much thinner, lighter design, larger and brighter display and an improved hinge design that reduces visible creasing to almost nothing. It's also more powerful and comes with a new wide-angle camera that finally matches up with the mainstream Galaxy S series. Though it superficially resembles the previous model, Sams

Everything Samsung Announced at Its Summer Galaxy Unpacked Event

The Fold7 measures 8.9 millimeters when folded, a drastic reduction from the 12.1-mm Galaxy Z Fold6. Unfold it, and you're looking at a minuscule 4.2 mm of thickness, down from 5.6 mm last year. Honor's Magic V5 folding phone, announced last week, beats Samsung on thinness at 8.8 mm folded and 4.1 mm unfolded, but Samsung's specs are still impressive. The Fold7 is also lighter at 215 grams, a 24-gram drop from the Fold6. It weighs less than an iPhone 16 Pro Max. What's even crazier is that the
