Along with a frame to turn your finest snaps into works of art, Casio remembered to include a few new shooters to fill your gallery, too. The company’s four latest Exilim digital cameras include a high-speed cam, and three that feature the dynamic compositing tech it introduced last year at CES (and that we were less than impressed with in our recent review of the Z280).

Like the old EX-FC100 and the EX-FS10, Casio’s new EX-FH100 can shoot at up to 1,000 frames per second after cranking down to low resolution. As a more traditional shooter, it offers a 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor hiding behind 24mm glass with 10x zoom.

The EX-H15, EX-Z200, EX-Z550 all offer 14.1-megapixel sensors, Exilim 5.0 image processors, HD movie capability and an Art Shot function apparently culled from the same tech powering Casio’s new frame. The top-tier H15 and Z2000 both offer high-resolution 3.0-inch screens, the latter with 5x zoom and the former with 10x. The stripped-down Z550 offers a smaller 2.7-inch screen, 4x zoom, and no Art Shot, but retains HD movie capability.

Insta360 unveils world’s first 360 drone, but it’s much more than that

The exciting new drone comes with goggles and a single-hand controller.

Insta360 has just shown off the world’s first 360-degree drone. Built by the company’s new drone brand -- called Antigravity -- the new A1 drone comes bundled with first-person-view goggles and shoots in 8K.

As anyone with a regular 360 camera will know, each shot covers every angle, so the Vision goggles let you look in every direction, allowing you to feel as if you’re right there, flying with your drone. Even better, when you come to edit, you can use any part of the 360-degree image to create your final piece, with a single frame offering numerous viewpoints.

The iPhone 17 Pro lets you create this iconic movie effect. But there’s a catch

Apple's latest iPhone has a Hollywood-level trick up its sleeve.

Apple has just unveiled the iPhone 17 series, with the premium Pro model featuring a chassis crafted from a single piece of aluminum, a larger battery, a new “vapor chamber” for cooling, and a display that’s three times more scratch resistant, among other improvements.

But as always, the tech giant has focused heavily on boosting the camera specs, with all three rear cameras given a 48-megapixel sensor, and the telephoto camera getting an 8x optical lens (up from 5x). The iPhone 17 Pro also has a new 18-megapixel Center Stage front-facing camera featuring a square sensor with a wider field of view, supporting portrait or landscape selfies while holding the phone vertically.
