range and go all digital. The Tokyo-based Nihon Keizai Shimbun broke the

UPDATE: Nikon posts press release denying rumour
Press Release:
Comment about a newspaper article on our film compact camera business
in Japan
An article appeared yesterday on a Japanese daily newspaper that Nikon
would withdraw from its film-based compact camera business in Japan. However,
we affirm that we do not currently have such plan as this article reports.
Our film compact camera business still remains sizable although their
sales shows a clear contrast to our rapidly expanding digital camera business.
Our Japanese photo dealers will continue selling Nikon film compact cameras.
We apologize to our customers and photo business partners for any inconvenience
eventually caused by this article. |

The Canon G5 X Mark II earns a Silver Award with its very good image quality, flexibility and the overall engaging experience of using the camera. However, if you need the very best in autofocus and video, other options may suit you better. Find out all the details in our full G5 X II review.
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.
The 90D is essentially the DSLR version of the EOS M6 Mark II mirrorless camera that was introduced alongside it. Like the M6 II, it features a 32MP sensor, Dual Pixel AF, fast burst shooting and 4K/30p video capture. It will be available mid-September.
