Why you should buy the Canon EOS R50 camera

There’s a few core components running the show here: The 24.2-megapixel CMOS Sensor is the R50’s powerful processor. There are plenty of variables at play when snapping pictures, and Canon’s CMOS ensures that you’ll always get the best-looking image possible; even when shooting in light-starved environments. But a camera is nothing without lenses, and the R50 comes with the Canon RF-S 18-45mm Standard Zoom. Unobtrusive and easy to toss in a camera bag, you’ll be able to take the RF-S wherever you and your camera body venture. 

Oftentimes, some of the coolest things to photograph are subjects moving very quickly. It can be difficult to zero in on this type of action, but not for the Canon R50! Capable of shooting up to 15fps, you’ll have far less trouble capturing the winning touchdown in your kids’ football game. Oh, and that CMOS Sensor is also the driving force behind the R50’s Auto Focus capabilities. Supporting up to 651 AF zones, this Canon camera leverages deep learning tech to track people, animals, and other types of motion.

After building up a solid photo library, you’ll probably want to get the media onto your smartphone or onto a digital photo frame. Fortunately, the Canon R50 includes a USB-C port for easy file transfers between devices, as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. The Canon Camera Connect app is an optional addition, but the software is one of the best ways to manage your Canon media from a phone or tablet. 

We see security camera deals all the time, with many of these devices delivering up to 4K resolution. Far more seldom do we see a 4K mirrorless camera deal like Best Buy’s Canon R50 promo. While the sale lasts, you’ll save $150 off this terrific photographic hardware. We also suggest checking out some of the other Canon camera deals we’ve discovered, especially if you’re shopping for Father’s Day!

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.
