Forget about 360 camera because, there is one camera that records more than just 360 images; it does 180 3D too. Meet the Insta360 EVO, a foldable camera that does both 360-degree photos and videos, and 180 3D photos and videos – with full 3D depth – at a fold of the camera. An ingenious folding design allows this action camera–ish imaging device to transform from a device that takes 360-degree images into one that records 3D images.

If the answers to those questions are as high a resolution possible, very stylish and money is no object, well then, look no further than the new Leica Q2. A sequel to the original Q released in 2015, the Q2 retains the same formula, most notably the non-removable high-quality optic, that won the original much love (by photographers with deep pockets, anyways) while giving it some no nonsense upgrades.

Sharp Is Getting Into Mirrorless Camera With A 8K Micro 3/4 Camera
Those who have been hitting up Consumer Electronics Show for the past years may have noticed a big brand in Central Hall, LVCC, that hadn’t been there for the last four years or so. That big brand is Sharp. Sharp appeared at this year’s CES for first time in 4 four years and it was there for good reasons.

Remember the Singapore-based startup, TinyMOS, that made the world’s smallest astronomy camera? Well, they have just wiped their own world’s smallest astronomy camera title with another even tinier astronomy camera called NANO1. And as the product name suggests, it is really, really, small.

Russia Camera Maker Zenit Lives Again, Unveiled Its First Leica-based Camera
I am not a photography buff myself, but I have sure seen and read about Zenit, the famed USSR-era Russian camera brand, in my younger days (don’t ask how). So what about it? Well, like many brands that have saw demised and ‘rebooted subsequently, it is coming back. Starting with the Zenit M Rangefinger. Krasnogorsky Zavod had announced it will be bringing Zenit back to take on Leica, but in strange move, it has partnered with Leica to work on its first camera after the revival. The camera is design by Zenit alright, but it is based on Leica M Type 240 platform. Continue reading Russia Camera Maker Zenit Lives Again, Unveiled Its First Leica-based Camera
