Amazon is among the big retailers cutting prices on all kinds of products, so if you have a piece of tech in mind, check out the Amazon Black Friday deals. Right now, Amazon has slashed $100 offthe price of the Canon EOS M50 Mirrorless Camera. It’s down to $549 from its regular price of $649, a massive 15% discount.

Whether you’re an amateur, budding pro photographer, or vlogger, the Canon EOS M50 can quickly become your go-to camera. It can shoot video in 4K and has hugely impressive photo capabilities, even in low light. But with this deal, you don’t just get the camera, but a whole kit. There’s the camera, an EF-M 15-45mm lens, a tripod to set up your steady shots or video-recording station, and a backpack — all for $100 off the regular price. This is the ideal starter camera if you’re kicking off a YouTube channel, or just want a sturdy go-to camera for an upcoming trip or the holiday season.

Canon has loaded the M50 with shooting modes, so switching up your shots is simple as touching a button. It’s mirrorless, so your images don’t go through a viewfinder and you can use the digital preview on the rear screen to set up the perfect shot. It also makes this camera thinner, more compact, faster, and more adept at shooting video.

The Canon Eos M50 has a pared-down build, and there’s a single control dial, which is ideal for quick actions and takes a lot of the fuss out of taking pictures. Inside, you’ll find a 24.1-megapixel sensor. It features Canon’s Dual Pixel AF system, an autofocus improvement over previous versions that results in images with sharp detail and really extraordinary colors. As for video, there’s a similar brilliance, deriving from the camera’s ability to shoot in 1080p. Really, what else do you need in an everyday camera?

The FCC’s latest crackdown could put more than DJI drones at risk in the US
Robot, Person, Face

DJI may have found creative ways to keep some of its products flowing into the US, but those efforts are now drawing increased attention from regulators. According to The Verge, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has started cracking down on several companies it believes could be helping DJI continue selling products in the country. These businesses have been described by industry observers as "DJI front companies" because they market or import products that appear to be closely tied to the Chinese drone maker while operating under different brand names.

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.

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.
