If you missed the chance to take advantage of the camera deals that were offered during Amazon’s Prime Day, the good news is that there are alternative options when looking for cameras on a discount, including GoPro’s action cameras. One of the reliable sources for GoPro deals is Best Buy, which is currently offering price cuts for different models of GoPro action cameras.

The GoPro Hero9 Black, the latest model of the action camera brand, is available from Best Buy at $50 off, bringing its price down to just $400 from its original price of $450. However, if you want something cheaper, you can go with its predecessor the GoPro Hero8 Black, which you can purchase from Best Buy for only $300 after a $50 reduction to its original price of $350.

The GoPro Hero9 Black is capable of recording video with up to 5K resolution for capturing the finest details of your adventures, and taking professional-level pictures with 20MP clarity that can give justice to the best moments of your life. The action camera increases the size of the rear touchscreen with touch zoom, and adds a new front screen that makes it easy to frame selfies. Additionally, GoPro promises up to 30% longer battery life compared to its predecessor, so there’s more time before you need to swap batteries or recharge.

The GoPro Hero9 Black also allows livestreaming in 1080p, and it can recognize 14 voice commands so you can go hands-free. The action camera also features HyperSmooth 3.0, which is GoPro’s most advanced video stabilization, and TimeWarp 3.0, which records time lapse scenes with the option of combining time-lapse, real-time, and slow-motion video in a single clip.

To enjoy the latest features of the brand that popularized the action camera, you should go for the GoPro Hero9 Black. It’s currently available from Best Buy at $50 off, lowering its price to $400 from its original price of $450. It’s unclear how long the deal will last though, so if you don’t want to miss out on this special offer, you should click that Buy Now button as soon as you can.

GoPro Hero8 Black – $300, was $350

The GoPro Hero8 Black remains Digital Trends’ top choice among the best action cameras for 2021. While it misses out on certain features such as the front screen and improved battery, it’s lighter and smaller compared to the GoPro Hero9 Black, which may be important for outdoors enthusiasts who want to shed as much weight as they can from the things that they’re carrying.

HyperSmooth 2.0 and TimeWarp 2.0 in the GoPro Hero8 Black are the older versions of the technology found in the GoPro Hero9 Black, but they still provide similar conveniences for the action camera’s owners. It introduces a built-in mount though, which makes it easier and faster to set up compared to previous models, as well as mods that further expand the capabilities of the GoPro Hero8 Black.

If you’ve decided that you need an action camera but you’d like something cheaper than the GoPro Hero9 Black, the GoPro Hero8 Black is still a solid choice even after the launch of its successor. Best Buy is offering the action camera for only $300, after a $50 discount to its original price of $350, in a deal that may be too good for you to refuse. Click the Buy Now button immediately if you want to take advantage of this deal, as there’s no telling when stocks will run out.

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.
