2003, Live: Yesterday we got our hands on the very early prototype
Pentax *ist D digital SLR which is being shown at the Pentax stand. This
is a bit of a 'me too' article as we note that several other sites have
also posted their own images of this camera. At this stage the camera
is still in an early form, although does power up. The first thing that
strikes you about this camera is its size and weight, it's noticeably
smaller than the current digital SLR's (Canon EOS-D60 / 10D, Nikon D100),
it's also clear that although loosely based on the *ist film SLR this
body and control layout has been design to be digital from day one. We're
looking forward to testing the *ist D, and hope that it can proove to
be some real competition to the Canon and Nikon offerings. We also heard
a rumour (not at the Pentax stand) that it will have a street price of
US$1,600.

Phil: Apologies for the relatively poor quality
of these images (compared to our norm), as you can imagine available lighting
is limited. |

360 photos and video can be very useful for certain applications (as well as having fun). The Vuze+ is an affordable 360 camera that supports both 2D and 3D (stereo vision) capture, and might be the best option for someone wanting to experiment with the 360 format.
The Mikme Pocket is a portable wireless mic with particular appeal to smartphone users looking to up their game and improve the quality of recorded audio without the cost or complexity or traditional equipment.
The EOS M6 Mark II renews Canon's commitment to making small, enthusiast-friendly APS-C mirrorless cameras. With 4K video, 30 fps Raw bursts and additional controls, it's a big step forward from its predecessor. And perhaps more interesting than the EOS 90D.
