Cameras and Photography

Some audience pictures snapped by Adobe Principal Director Terry White at today’s Max event started appearing in Frame.io in real-time as he was taking them, without needing to connect the camera to a computer.

And because his account was synced with Lightroom, they appeared there too — meaning there’s basically no delay for photographers to get their snaps ready for editing.

So said Daniel Plasche, co-director of a Berlin venue, while talking to The New York Times about the club’s decision to follow other nightclubs by putting stickers on customers’ smartphone camera lenses.

“There is something unifying, ritualistic about the dance floor,” he added, but the atmosphere was ruined when people use their phones to take images that “they will never look at again, anyways.”

The original TTArtisan LED fake film roll was already cute when it looked Kodak-ish and just shined white light, but now there’s an RGB version. The new Mini RGB LED Light has a touch of Fujifilm vibes in its cartridge design, shines various colors for creative lighting, and costs just $10.99 on Amazon.

Following earlier leaks of the Insta360 Ace Pro 2’s packaging that seem to confirm a bump in recording capabilities from 8K/24fps to 8K/30fps, @Quadro_News has revealed it will allegedly be priced at $399.99.

That would make it $50 cheaper than the previous model, the same price as the GoPro Hero 13 Black, but pricier than the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro.

Was it too good to be true? Perhaps if you’re a pro — but when I slapped Anker’s $35 MagSafe gadget to the back of an iPhone 15 Pro and shot in ProRes Log, I did get several consecutive minutes of usable 4K60 footage.

For most of us, it’s just a fast SD reader that makes for an awkward grip on the phone.

A quick hands-on comparison by The Verge’s action camera expert. It’s going to be hard to justify paying $50 more for the new GoPro flagship now that DJI’s rival is here.

When it launched on Android in June, the app only supported the Samsung Galaxy S23, S24, and the Google Pixel 7/8 lineups. Compatibility with OnePlus and Xiaomi phones running Android 13 was added later, but Blackmagic has released another update adding features like recording timecode, plus support for the Samsung Galaxy Flip 5/6 and Fold 5/6 phones.

Following the debut of the GoPro Hero 13 Black earlier this month, DJI will be announcing its next action camera on September 19th at 9am ET, as revealed in a short teaser video shared on its website and X.

Leaked details of the follow-up to the DJI Osmo Action 4 seem to indicate it will offer an improved four hours of battery life.

Leica’s played this tune before, as the new M11-D is its fourth screen-less model. This time it’s essentially an M11-P that’s gone LCD-free, and it has the same 60-megapixel full-frame sensor and Content Credentials.

These cameras are about as niche as they are expensive. But remember when they cost over $3,000 less?

The Rollei 35AF is inching closer to release, and photographers can now preorder one in chrome for $799 (or $828 for black).

It’s a new take on the original from 1966, with autofocus. Early adopters have until September 12th at 3AM GMT to preorder for the launch later this year.

New film cameras are just so hot right now.

Bringing more peace of mind to photographers, Lexar has debuted two new SD cards made from 316 stainless steel — an alloy that better resists corrosion — as spotted by PetaPixel.

Both the new Lexar Gold and Silver Pro SD UHS-II cards offer IP68 water and dust resistance, are much harder to bend and damage, and support read speeds of up to 1,700MB/s.

The Camovue is a new outdoor camera from the folks behind Reolink that can send alerts when it detects specific animals.

It can spot up to 12 species, including wild boar, deer (bucks and does), mountain lions, elk, ducks, weasels, cattle, goats, turkeys, raccoons, and foxes.

The company says it's working on adding more critter-spotting capabilities. The camera is slated for launch later this year.

The company has teamed up with Bandai Namco to create detailed miniature versions of two classic film cameras, the Nikon F and Nikon SP, and two modern digital cameras, the Nikon Z FC and Nikon Z9.

All of the replicas in the Nikon Miniature Collection are non-functional, but they do have removable lenses. Unfortunately, they’re currently only available from gashapon machines in Japan.
