This crossbody bag is designed to blend in while keeping camera gear safe

Add as a preferred source on Google

Keeping a camera and a spare lens handy is simpler and sleeker with Ona’s latest bag. On sale beginning Wednesday, the Savannah is a small crossbody bag designed for a mirrorless camera (as well as some smaller DSLRs) with an extra lens.

The bag is handcrafted with full-grain leather, paired with antique brass hardware. The attached strap can be worn crossbody or over one shoulder, with a buckle-adjustable length.

On the inside, a padded divider keeps the camera and extra lens secure, or the divider can be removed to accommodate a larger DSLR or other larger items. The interior, measuring about 8.5 inches wide,6 inches tall and 4.5 inches deep, uses a close-cell foam padding to keep the contents safe from bumps. The flap-style closure uses magnets to keep the bag closed while still allowing for quick access to gear.

Outside, the Savannah has a zipping pocket at the back, which also has two credit card-sized slots inside. A matching key ring clasp is also included or can be removed with a simple snap button.

While the bag is compact, the real leather construction makes the bag tip the scale to just over a pound. Ona says the bag is designed for the on-the-go photographer, offering quick access to gear in a bag that is compact enough for everyday use.

The bag launches with a retail price of $219 and is only available in black. Founded in 2010, Ona is a New York-based company that focuses on designing camera bags that are both functional and stylish. The bags are hand-crafted and inspired by founder Tracy Foster’s vision of carrying a camera every day without a bulky camera bag.

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.

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.
