Canon EOS 6D Mark II review
Daven Mathies/Digital Trends

DSLR (Digital Single-Lens Reflex) cameras are considered the go-to standard for photographers, particularly among professionals. Whether you are a pro, a hobbyist, or a serious amateur looking to expand your skills in photography, you need a quality DSLR camera. Lucky for you, Amazon is offering a hefty discount on the awesome Canon EOS 6D Mark II. Normally $2,400, a cool 29% discount brings the price down to $1,700.

The Canon EOS 6D Mark II has an all-new sensor and image processor, enhanced autofocus system, and full HD video recording at 60 fps (frames per second). While it won’t be the first choice of professionals, it’s still a solid camera, thanks to its great build and outstanding image quality.

Canon built the 6D Mark II around the DIGIC 7 processor and a 26.2-megapixel sensor that work together to create sharp, vivid photos and videos. This camera expanded its ISO up to 40,000, which is great for low-light photography.

The 6D Mark II also has a 45-point all-cross-type autofocus system for advanced tracking and focusing when using the optical finder. It’s one of the fastest and most consistent viewfinder AF systems, but it doesn’t cover the entire frame. If you switch to live mode, you’ll find the Dual Pixel Autofocus technology, which covers more frame than the viewfinder AF sensor. It is great for video recording, with smoother focusing and less errors commonly encountered with contrast-based systems. It also works well with the new articulating touchscreen, allowing you to tap the screen to adjust the focus.

This camera offers full HD video recording options, with an improved 60p frame rate. It also has a Digital IS with five-axis image stabilization that minimizes camera shake, which is great for recording while walking or moving around. The Mark II doesn’t feature 4K video recording with its built-in microphone, but the audio remains very good. It also features a 3.5mm input where you can plug in your external microphone for optimum audio quality.

Other notable features include a built-in GPS module, Bluetooth connectivity, and built-in Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity. For more information on the Canon EOS 6D Mark II, check out our review. Get yours now for only $1,700 on Amazon.

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.

This new $30 keychain camera is coming for Kodak Charmera with a flip screen for selfies
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.
