15:00 JST: In addition to the announcement of three new Coolpix
digital cameras Nikon has also today announced the 'Macro Cool-light SL-1'
accessory. This ring-light screws onto the standard 28 mm lens thread
of the Coolpix 950, 990, 995 or 4500 or the Coolpix 880, 885 or 775 with
a step down adapter ring. The Cool-light provides a permanent white light
(it's not a flash strobe, but a circle of white LED's). The Cool-light
is especially useful when shooting macros which, on close focusing digital
cameras are invariably difficult to light.

Nikon's Coolpix P1000 has moved the zoom needle from 'absurd' to 'ludicrous,' with an equivalent focal length of 24-3000mm. So far, it's a fun camera to shoot with – if a bit over the top.
The Canon EOS R is the first full frame mirrorless camera to use the new RF mount. We're well underway putting it through our range of standard tests – take a look at how it compares to the competition and our thoughts on using it so far.
The GFX 50R is a 50MP rangefinder-style mirrorless camera. It borrows heavily from the existing 50S model but in a smaller body and at a lower price. How does it differ?
The Everyday Sling might just be the perfect pack for not carrying too much gear, combining comfort with Peak Design's signature modern style.
When the Fujifilm X-T2 arrived, it was more than just a modest upgrade to the already impressive X-T1. While the new X-T3 hasn't changed the overall design of the camera, this model is way more than a minor refresh: it's a major leap forwards.
The instant camera market is heating up, and with four formats and 15+ cameras to choose from, we felt it was high time to examine them all and pick our favorite.
