Capturing memorable moments with your camera is always a special feeling, but the process doesn't end there. If you want to edit or share your photos in some capacity, you'll also need to get them off your camera and onto your phone or computer. With so many cameras – both new and retro – on the market, figuring out the best way to transfer your images can be confusing. In this guide, you'll find the various options for moving photos off your camera so you can share them with the world (or just your close circle).
Wireless transfer options
From left to right, the Sony, Canon and Nikon apps all allow wireless transfer.
If you have a relatively new camera, there are likely some wireless options for transferring photos that can be very convenient. First, many camera companies have developed apps, including Canon Camera Connect, Sony Creators App, Nikon SnapBridge, Panasonic Lumix Lab and Fujifilm XApp. The apps connect your mobile device to your camera via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, allowing you to move files to your phone wirelessly.
Unfortunately, those apps can be very hit or miss. Essentially every brand's app has issues ... Continue Reading »
Eastman Kodak warned investors on Monday that there is "substantial doubt" it will be able to continue to operate. The news came in the company's second-quarter earnings report, as CNN reports.
Kodak currently has roughly $500 million in debt that is due within the next 12 months. The company ended the quarter with a cash balance of $155 million. It also reported a 1% year-over-year decrease in revenue and a GAAP net loss of $26 million for the quarter.
Kodak added that these losses were primarily due to weak sales and higher costs. Jim Continenza, Kodak’s Executive Chairman and CEO said that "tariffs did not have a material impact" on its business in Q2 because it is "committed to US manufacturing" and makes a range of its products in the United States. However, the company added that it is assessing the potential impact of new tariffs moving forward.
Kodak's management says it is seeking ways to manage debt, which includes terminating its US pension plan to redirect cash. It's also focused on "the efficiency of our operations and investing in growth initiatives in our [Advanced Materials & Chemicals] group." That group, in part, helps produce ingredients for generic drugs domestically, for which it ... Continue Reading »

Title: Balance
Description: The artwork ‘Balance’ was shot in March 2025, at the beautiful Peninsula de Jandia, Fuerteventura, Spain. For all my artwork, I’m exploring my relationship and connection to the natural world, usually portraying a figure that always seems to linger somewhere between the natural and an artificial element, preventing her from truly connecting. Like a trace from the world she can’t leave behind.
I am used to working solo to experience my personal connection to the landscape in the most ... Continue Reading »

Earlier this week, we introduced our new Community Manager, Mathew Anderson. He's joining our team to help manage the online forums and, like most of us here, is enthusiastic about photography. After joining, he mentioned he was potentially interested in upgrading his camera, something the rest of the team had an opinion or two on.
Rather than hiding the discussion away in Slack, we thought it would be a fun exercise to have him on the show to discuss his wants and needs for a new camera, and to go over some of the cameras that met his criteria. You can watch the discussion above, and if you have any recommendations we missed, be sure to head over to our forums to share them with Mathew and the rest of the team!

Meike's 24mm F1.4 'Mix,' a wide-angle full-frame autofocus lens for Nikon Z, Sony E and L mount that it showed off earlier this year, is now available. While there isn't a ton of information available about the lens, the company says it's made for "creators who see in full frame."
According to the company's spec sheet, the lens is made of 15 elements in 12 groups, though it doesn't mention what kind of special glasses (if any) are used in its optical formula. According to the company's Instagram, its aperture has 11 blades and a minimum focus distance of 0.28m (11").
Image: Meike
It has a stepper motor for autofocus, and a switch on the lens barrel for quickly switching between auto and manual focus modes. Just above that is a customizable button, and rounding out its physical design is an aperture ring, though it's unclear whether it has clicked delinations or not.
The lens can accept 72mm filters, and the E-mount version weighs 556g (19.6oz).
It costs $589, and the E and Z-mount versions are available now on Meike's site. The company says you'll be able to order the L mount ... Continue Reading »

TTArtisan has announced the AF 40mm F2, a 'normal' focal-length prime for full-frame Sony E and Nikon Z mount cameras. (An L-mount version is "coming soon" according to an Instagram post from the company.) It's made to be fast, compact and affordable despite having features like a clicking aperture ring and all-metal construction.
The lens is made of nine elements in six groups, with two high-index elements, one extra-low-dispersion element and one aspherical lens. It has seven aperture blades, and can focus on objects as close as 0.4m (15.7").
Autofocus is handled by a stepping motor. The lens can fit 52mm filters, and weighs 167g (5.9oz), despite being made out of aluminium. It also comes with a metal, petal-shaped lens hood.
The lens is available now from TTArtisan's website and only costs $168, which is a very approachable price. If you've never shot with a 'normal' focal length lens before (as in, a lens that offers a similar perspective to human vision: neither zoomed in nor out.), it could be an affordable way to try it out.

For those interested in instant photography (and even many who are not), the Polaroid SX-70 is an icon. And now, Chinese manufacturer 10Art.CC is aiming to introduce a modern take on the foldable instant camera. The Pocket Fold 66 promises compact instant photography reminiscent of the classic Polaroid camera.
For those who are unfamiliar, the Polaroid SX-70 is a folding, single-lens reflex instant camera made by Polaroid from 1972 to 1981. It folds down to a flat rectangle and pops up when it's time to take photos. The original model was manual focus only, though a later model featured sonar autofocus.
The Polaroid SX-70 folds down into a compact rectangle when not in use.
Photo: Abby Ferguson
In its announcement post, 10Art.CC says it was inspired by the SX-70 because of its portability and image quality. The company previously released an instant film back for Hasselblad cameras as well as a standalone camera module, the former addressing quality, the latter offering portability. However, neither device satisfied the company's quest for both in one package.
The Pocket Fold 66 aims to address both of the company's goals in a single camera, just as the SX-70 did. However, it makes it clear that this isn't ... Continue Reading »

The Sony DSC-RX1R III is the company's fourth full-frame compact camera with the same Zeiss-branded 35mm F2 lens. The latest version uses a 60.2MP sensor and Sony's latest processors.
Key specifications
60.2MP BSI CMOS sensor
35mm F2 Zeiss-branded lens
2.36M dot (1024 x 768px) EVF with 0.7x magnification
2.36M dot (1024 x 768px) fixed LCD touchscreen
NP-FW50 battery, rated to 300 shots per charge
4K video up to 30p with 10-bit 4:2:2 options, Log and S-Cinetone
Range of color modes including 3 'Film' modes
The RX1R III is available now, at a recommended price of $5099, £4200, €4900. There are also a series of rather expensive accessories available, including an add-on thumb rest, a lens hood and a leather half-case.
The US price is notably higher, in comparison to the European and UK prices, than is typical for Sony products. We have to assume the approximately 10% higher pricing is a result of the tariffs imposed by the US government.

The Fujifilm X-E5 is the latest mid-range rangefinder-style mirrorless camera to join the X-series. It takes several steps back towards the enthusiast-friendly outlook of the original X-E models and gains image stabilization along the way.
Key specifications
40MP BSI CMOS APS-C sensor
Image stabilization rated to 7.0EV
Twin clickable command dials
Film simulation dial with 'recipe' option
2.36M dot EVF
1.04M dot rear up/down tilt LCD
Video up to 6.2K//30 (with 1.23x crop)
Continuous shooting up to 8fps, 13fps with e-shutter
Mic socket, headphones via USB
The Fujifilm X-E5 will be available in August at a recommended price of $1699, body only, or $1899 with the new 23mm F2.8R WR lens. At launch, this represented a $300 premium over the similarly specced X-T50 for US customers, likely to leave room for tariffs. However, Fujifilm has now adjusted the rest of its lineup's prices, so the X-E5's US price is more in-line with the rest of the world (for now).

Fixed lens cameras may be a bit niche, but there's a reason they're so popular amongst photographers. They often come with some of the best lenses on the market, in a variety of focal lengths, matched to sensors ranging from APS-C to full-frame to give you the perfect field of view for your style of shooting.
Our picks range from pocketable models to larger cameras that you'll have to you'll have to consciously decide to take with you. They also cover a wide range of prices; while there sadly aren't any budget options, some come with much higher price tags than others, reaching well into the thousands of dollars.
Our picks:
Best fixed lens camera for patient people: Fujifilm X100 VI
The full-frame 35mm option: Sony DSC-RX1R III
Best pocketable fixed lens camera: Ricoh GR III
The just-for-fun fixed lens: Fujifilm X half
The Rolls-Royce of fixed lens camera: Leica Q3 43
Best fixed lens camera for patient people: Fujifilm X100VI

The Fujifilm X half is a JPEG-only compact camera with a fixed focal length and a vertically orientated sensor, designed to mimic the experience of shooting with a half-frame film camera. It prioritizes fun over technical excellence.
Key features
Vertical 18MP, 8.8 x 11.7mm CMOS sensor
32mm equiv F2.8 lens
JPEG-only output
2-in-1 mode combining sequential shots into a 3:2 image
Tunnel-style optical viewfinder
Film Camera mode simulates the film camera experience
10 Film Simulations, 18 Filters
Twin touchscreen interface
Date stamp option
880 shot per charge rating when using OVF
'Film advance' lever
Direct printing to Instax printers
UHS-I SD card slot
The obvious reference point will, no doubt, be Fujifilm's own X100 series cameras, and we doubt Fujifilm will dislike the comparison, given their popularity. But, whereas the X100 cameras look a lot like miniature Leicas, the cute, boxy X half looks more like a Rollei 35.
The X half has a recommended price of $849 and is available in black, charcoal or silver. There's no obvious precedent for a camera like this and the uncertainty ... Continue Reading »

It's sad to say, but the golden age of compact cameras is pretty much over, thanks to the rise of smartphone cameras that are, in many cases, good enough for most people. Manufacturers seem to realize this, too; the major players have only released a small handful of compact zooms in the past few years, and most were very minor updates on old designs. The ones that remain can be difficult to find in stock, even when the companies that make them promise they're still a part of their lineups.
However, that doesn't mean the category is completely dead. Even today, there are several types of compact cameras, and some have capabilities that pretty much no phone can match. This list calls out the few that are still available and looks at what they're good for – because there are still cases where a compact camera is a great option.
Our recommendations:
Enthusiast camera
Best enthusiast compact: Canon PowerShot G7X III
Best do-it-all compact: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VII
Best interface: Leica D-Lux 8
Waterproof cameras
Best waterproof compact: OM System Tough TG-7

Whether you're just sharing clips with friends or you're launching an online on-camera career, vlogging matters. And there's a point at which your smartphone may not give you the look, control, or flexibility you're after. With 180-degree selfie screens, wide-angle lenses, microphone inputs and great video quality, more and more dedicated cameras are catering to people who want to take video of themselves and post it online.
The meaning of vlogging has changed over the years, so our picks cover a variety of styles – we'll explain what makes each camera good for vlogging, and what key features each has that make taking video of yourself easier. We've also included videos shot on the cameras in question when we have them to give you an idea of what kind of performance to expect.
Our recommendations:
Best camera for vlogging on the move: DJI Osmo Pocket 3
A self-contained vlogging kit: Canon PowerShot V1
For ambitious vloggers and videographers: Sony ZV-E10 II

Capturing memorable moments with your camera is always a special feeling, but the process doesn't end there. If you want to edit or share your photos in some capacity, you'll also need to get them off your camera and onto your phone or computer. With so many cameras – both new and retro – on the market, figuring out the best way to transfer your images can be confusing. In this guide, you'll find the various options for moving photos off your camera so you can share them with the world (or just your close circle).
Wireless transfer options
From left to right, the Sony, Canon and Nikon apps all allow wireless transfer.
If you have a relatively new camera, there are likely some wireless options for transferring photos that can be very convenient. First, many camera companies have developed apps, including Canon Camera Connect, Sony Creators App, Nikon SnapBridge, Panasonic Lumix Lab and Fujifilm XApp. The apps connect your mobile device to your camera via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, allowing you to move files to your phone wirelessly.
Unfortunately, those apps can be very hit or miss. Essentially every brand's app has issues ... 
Eastman Kodak warned investors on Monday that there is "substantial doubt" it will be able to continue to operate. The news came in the company's second-quarter earnings report, as CNN reports.
Kodak currently has roughly $500 million in debt that is due within the next 12 months. The company ended the quarter with a cash balance of $155 million. It also reported a 1% year-over-year decrease in revenue and a GAAP net loss of $26 million for the quarter.
Kodak added that these losses were primarily due to weak sales and higher costs. Jim Continenza, Kodak’s Executive Chairman and CEO said that "tariffs did not have a material impact" on its business in Q2 because it is "committed to US manufacturing" and makes a range of its products in the United States. However, the company added that it is assessing the potential impact of new tariffs moving forward.
Kodak's management says it is seeking ways to manage debt, which includes terminating its US pension plan to redirect cash.

Title: Balance
Description: The artwork ‘Balance’ was shot in March 2025, at the beautiful Peninsula de Jandia, Fuerteventura, Spain. For all my artwork, I’m exploring my relationship and connection to the natural world, usually portraying a figure that always seems to linger somewhere between the natural and an artificial element, preventing her from truly connecting. Like a trace from the world she can’t leave behind.
I am used to working solo to experience my personal connection to the landscape in the most ... 
Not all road trips go as planned. This venture to the Huaylla Belen Valley in northern Peru involved a lot more pushing than driving.

Meike's 24mm F1.4 'Mix,' a wide-angle full-frame autofocus lens for Nikon Z, Sony E and L mount that it showed off earlier this year, is now available. While there isn't a ton of information available about the lens, the company says it's made for "creators who see in full frame."
According to the company's spec sheet, the lens is made of 15 elements in 12 groups, though it doesn't mention what kind of special glasses (if any) are used in its optical formula. According to the company's Instagram, its aperture has 11 blades and a minimum focus distance of 0.28m (11").
Image: Meike
It has a stepper motor for autofocus, and a switch on the lens barrel for quickly switching between auto and manual focus modes. Just above that is a customizable button, and rounding out its physical design is an aperture ring, though it's unclear whether it has clicked delinations or not.
The lens can accept 72mm filters, and the E-mount version weighs 556g (19.6oz).
It costs $589, and the E and Z-mount versions are available now on Meike's site. The company says you'll be able to order the L mount ...

TTArtisan has announced the AF 40mm F2, a 'normal' focal-length prime for full-frame Sony E and Nikon Z mount cameras. (An L-mount version is "coming soon" according to an Instagram post from the company.) It's made to be fast, compact and affordable despite having features like a clicking aperture ring and all-metal construction.
The lens is made of nine elements in six groups, with two high-index elements, one extra-low-dispersion element and one aspherical lens. It has seven aperture blades, and can focus on objects as close as 0.4m (15.7").
Autofocus is handled by a stepping motor. The lens can fit 52mm filters, and weighs 167g (5.9oz), despite being made out of aluminium. It also comes with a metal, petal-shaped lens hood.
The lens is available now from TTArtisan's website and only costs $168, which is a very approachable price. If you've never shot with a 'normal' focal length lens before (as in, a lens that offers a similar perspective to human vision: neither zoomed in nor out.), it could be an affordable way to try it out.

For those interested in instant photography (and even many who are not), the Polaroid SX-70 is an icon. And now, Chinese manufacturer 10Art.CC is aiming to introduce a modern take on the foldable instant camera. The Pocket Fold 66 promises compact instant photography reminiscent of the classic Polaroid camera.
For those who are unfamiliar, the Polaroid SX-70 is a folding, single-lens reflex instant camera made by Polaroid from 1972 to 1981. It folds down to a flat rectangle and pops up when it's time to take photos. The original model was manual focus only, though a later model featured sonar autofocus.
The Polaroid SX-70 folds down into a compact rectangle when not in use.

In its announcement post, 10Art.CC says it was inspired by the SX-70 because of its portability and image quality. The company previously released an instant film back for Hasselblad cameras as well as a standalone camera module, the former addressing quality, the latter offering portability. However, neither device satisfied the company's quest for both in one package.
The Pocket Fold 66 aims to address both of the company's goals in a single camera, just as the SX-70 did. However, it makes it clear that this isn't ...

The Sony DSC-RX1R III is the company's fourth full-frame compact camera with the same Zeiss-branded 35mm F2 lens. The latest version uses a 60.2MP sensor and Sony's latest processors.
Key specifications
60.2MP BSI CMOS sensor
35mm F2 Zeiss-branded lens
2.36M dot (1024 x 768px) EVF with 0.7x magnification
2.36M dot (1024 x 768px) fixed LCD touchscreen
NP-FW50 battery, rated to 300 shots per charge
4K video up to 30p with 10-bit 4:2:2 options, Log and S-Cinetone
Range of color modes including 3 'Film' modes
The RX1R III is available now, at a recommended price of $5099, £4200, €4900. There are also a series of rather expensive accessories available, including an add-on thumb rest, a lens hood and a leather half-case.
The US price is notably higher, in comparison to the European and UK prices, than is typical for Sony products. We have to assume the approximately 10% higher pricing is a result of the tariffs imposed by the US government.

The Fujifilm X-E5 is the latest mid-range rangefinder-style mirrorless camera to join the X-series. It takes several steps back towards the enthusiast-friendly outlook of the original X-E models and gains image stabilization along the way.
Key specifications
40MP BSI CMOS APS-C sensor
Image stabilization rated to 7.0EV
Twin clickable command dials
Film simulation dial with 'recipe' option
2.36M dot EVF
1.04M dot rear up/down tilt LCD
Video up to 6.2K//30 (with 1.23x crop)
Continuous shooting up to 8fps, 13fps with e-shutter
Mic socket, headphones via USB
The Fujifilm X-E5 will be available in August at a recommended price of $1699, body only, or $1899 with the new 23mm F2.8R WR lens. At launch, this represented a $300 premium over the similarly specced X-T50 for US customers, likely to leave room for tariffs. However, Fujifilm has now adjusted the rest of its lineup's prices, so the X-E5's US price is more in-line with the rest of the world (for now).

Fixed lens cameras may be a bit niche, but there's a reason they're so popular amongst photographers. They often come with some of the best lenses on the market, in a variety of focal lengths, matched to sensors ranging from APS-C to full-frame to give you the perfect field of view for your style of shooting.
Our picks range from pocketable models to larger cameras that you'll have to you'll have to consciously decide to take with you. They also cover a wide range of prices; while there sadly aren't any budget options, some come with much higher price tags than others, reaching well into the thousands of dollars.
Our picks:
Best fixed lens camera for patient people: Fujifilm X100 VI
The full-frame 35mm option: Sony DSC-RX1R III
Best pocketable fixed lens camera: Ricoh GR III
The just-for-fun fixed lens: Fujifilm X half
The Rolls-Royce of fixed lens camera: Leica Q3 43
Best fixed lens camera for patient people: Fujifilm X100VI

The Fujifilm X half is a JPEG-only compact camera with a fixed focal length and a vertically orientated sensor, designed to mimic the experience of shooting with a half-frame film camera. It prioritizes fun over technical excellence.
Key features
Vertical 18MP, 8.8 x 11.7mm CMOS sensor
32mm equiv F2.8 lens
JPEG-only output
2-in-1 mode combining sequential shots into a 3:2 image
Tunnel-style optical viewfinder
Film Camera mode simulates the film camera experience
10 Film Simulations, 18 Filters
Twin touchscreen interface
Date stamp option
880 shot per charge rating when using OVF
'Film advance' lever
Direct printing to Instax printers
UHS-I SD card slot
The obvious reference point will, no doubt, be Fujifilm's own X100 series cameras, and we doubt Fujifilm will dislike the comparison, given their popularity. But, whereas the X100 cameras look a lot like miniature Leicas, the cute, boxy X half looks more like a Rollei 35.
The X half has a recommended price of $849 and is available in black, charcoal or silver. There's no obvious precedent for a camera like this and the uncertainty ...

It's sad to say, but the golden age of compact cameras is pretty much over, thanks to the rise of smartphone cameras that are, in many cases, good enough for most people. Manufacturers seem to realize this, too; the major players have only released a small handful of compact zooms in the past few years, and most were very minor updates on old designs. The ones that remain can be difficult to find in stock, even when the companies that make them promise they're still a part of their lineups.
However, that doesn't mean the category is completely dead. Even today, there are several types of compact cameras, and some have capabilities that pretty much no phone can match. This list calls out the few that are still available and looks at what they're good for – because there are still cases where a compact camera is a great option.
Our recommendations:
Enthusiast camera
Best enthusiast compact: Canon PowerShot G7X III
Best do-it-all compact: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VII
Best interface: Leica D-Lux 8
Waterproof cameras
Best waterproof compact: OM System Tough TG-7
Long zoom camera
Best ultra-zoom camera: Nikon Coolpix P1100

Whether you're just sharing clips with friends or you're launching an online on-camera career, vlogging matters. And there's a point at which your smartphone may not give you the look, control, or flexibility you're after. With 180-degree selfie screens, wide-angle lenses, microphone inputs and great video quality, more and more dedicated cameras are catering to people who want to take video of themselves and post it online.
The meaning of vlogging has changed over the years, so our picks cover a variety of styles – we'll explain what makes each camera good for vlogging, and what key features each has that make taking video of yourself easier. We've also included videos shot on the cameras in question when we have them to give you an idea of what kind of performance to expect.
Our recommendations:
Best camera for vlogging on the move: DJI Osmo Pocket 3
A self-contained vlogging kit: Canon PowerShot V1
For ambitious vloggers and videographers: Sony ZV-E10 II
Best high-end vlogging pick: Sony ZV-E1

The GFX100RF occupies a new space in Fujifilm's lineup and comes with a new design. It's essentially the long-rumored 'medium format X100,' in that it takes the formula of classic styling, direct controls and a wideangle prime lens permanently mounted on the front.
