GoPro Is Fighting Insta360’s X5 With Its Own ‘True 8K’ Max2 360-Degree Camera

gizmodo.com Raymond Wong 2025-10-06 18:35:12

GoPro is breaking with tradition this year and not releasing a direct follow-up to the Hero 13 Black. Instead of a single flagship action camera, GoPro is releasing three products to offer consumers more choices up and down the price spectrum. Headlining the trio is the Max2, a 360-degree camera successor to the Max that was released in 2019. (Yes, the name is Max2, no spaces. Technically, it’s MAX2, but there’s just no need to yell.)

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-25 05:00:06

Hasselblad has launched the followup to its first 100MP medium-format camera with a new model that improves on it in almost every way. The X2D II 100C promises better image quality, a brighter display, 10-stop stabilization and updated hybrid autofocus. As with any Hasselblad product, it's expensive — but less so than the previous model. The original X2D 100C took beautiful photos but lacked even basic technology like continuous autofocus. That's no longer the case. The X2D II 100C is the first

How does a phone with a crazy external lens compare to the S23 Ultra’s zoom camera?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-26 09:00:39

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority The vivo X200 Ultra is a great camera phone in its own right (if you’re willing to import it), in no small part due to its impressive 200MP 3.7x periscope camera. However, the company switches things up by offering an optional external lens for even better zoom. The X200 Ultra’s 2.35x telephoto converter lens effectively turns the phone’s 200MP periscope camera into an ~8.6x shooter. I thought it would be a good idea to compare this lens to the Galaxy S23 Ultr
