Handcrafted camera bag company Ona is reimagining old favorites. Announced on Tuesday, July 30, Ona’s new classic line is a series of six camera bags, mixing new silhouettes with a design inspired by the company’s favorite bags. The new releases are the first new designs from the company in more than a year, with half already available and the rest expected out in September.

The first new bag in the Classic series, the Monterey, is a backpack designed to fit a full DSLR kit with up to five additional lenses and a 13-inch laptop, while still keeping a smaller profile. Inspired by the company’s Camps Day backpack, the bag is constructed from canvas and leather. The bag is available now with a $349 list price.

The Capri II is an updated design on Ona’s popular shoulder bag with what the company calls a more streamlined design along with riveted straps and more reinforcement throughout the bag. The bag accommodates a 13-inch laptop along with a camera and up to three lenses. The Capri II will come in two variations — one leather and one canvas. The bags launched this month, retailing for $289 for the canvas and $349 for the leather.

Updating another classic, the Pebbled Bowery is a limited-edition shoulder bag that’s designed with pebbled leather, new hardware, and an updated strap. The bag is limited to 200 pieces, and is selling for $259.

Continuing the line of compact shoulder bags, the Rockaway is an everyday camera sling designed to fit a DSLR and two lenses. The bag is designed to keep a lightweight profile, Ona says, with quick access to gear. The Rockaway is slated for arrival in September.

Stepping up the capacity, Ona is also launching a high capacity camera duffel bag. Tentatively named the Tool Kit, the duffel accommodates two bodies and up to four lenses, along with room for accessories like flashes, external hard drives, batteries, and film. The bag is expected out in mid-September for a $339 list price.

On the opposite end, the small capacity crossbody, tentatively called the Small Case, is designed for point-and-shoot cameras and smaller mirrorless cameras or a single lens. The slim crossbody bag is slated for a September 24 release, with a $129 list price.

I bought Kodak’s viral keychain camera, and the bad photos are part of its charm
The Kodak Charmera is barely a camera, and I still keep using it
Machine, Wheel, Camera

I bought the Kodak Charmera partly because I wanted a portable digital camera, and partly because I wanted a pretty little collectible. The Charmera is sold as a blind box, so you do not know which version you are getting until the box is opened. There are multiple retro Kodak-style designs, plus a transparent secret edition that looks like the one everyone would want.

I had the shopkeeper pick my box for better luck, and it worked out. I got the yellow variant, which is inspired by Kodak's original 80s disposable camera. The transparent one is definitely the fun collector’s piece, but the yellow model feels like the proper Kodak version. It looks like a tiny toy camera that escaped from a souvenir shop, found a keyring, and now hangs around wherever you go.

Yashica's new camera makes toy photography more fun
YASHICA Funtastic Keychain Camera in multiple variants

Tiny digital cameras are all the rage, and Yashica is now offering a very cute toy photography experience of its own. The company’s new Funtastic Keychain Camera is exactly what the name suggests, a miniature digital camera small enough to clip onto your keys, bag, or lanyard. The popular Kodak Charmera is the obvious comparison, which brings a tiny blind-box keychain camera that became a viral collectible.

Now, Yashica's version lands in the same novelty-camera lane, but adds one very useful trick, which is a 180-degree flip screen.

Google releases big v4.0 update for its popular Snapseed editing app on Android
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

After years of sitting on its hands, Google appears to have remembered it owns one of the best photo editing apps on mobile. Snapseed 4.0 is now rolling out to Android, bringing the platform up to speed after a stretch of iOS exclusivity that left Android users watching from the sidelines.

The story starts last June, when Google quietly broke Snapseed out of its long dormancy with a significant 3.0 update for iPhone. It was a surprise move that suggested the company was serious about the app again. Google then confirmed at the start of this year that Android wouldn't be left behind for long, and true to that word, the Play Store listing has now been updated to reflect version 4.0 — skipping straight past 3.0 for Android users and landing both platforms on the same version simultaneously.
