Camera Reviews

Fujifilm just announced the redesigned successor to the $99 Instax Mini 40 it introduced in 2021. A minor upgrade, the Instax Mini 41 retains its vintage look but notably now includes the parallax correction feature found in the Instax Mini 12. This should help users avoid shooting off-center images in close-up mode, though we’ll have to test it to determine whether that claim is true.

The smart security camera company debuted the latest addition to its 16MP lineup at CES. As the name implies, the Duo 3 WiFi works over Wi-Fi and stitches together video from two cameras to create a 180-degree panoramic view with color night vision, motion tracking, and people, vehicle, and animal detection.

Alright, maybe it’s unreasonable for me to be upset that a Super 8 camera doesn’t have the latest and greatest USB connector. Either way: it’s very cool that a new Super 8 camera just came out.

And no, it’s not about the larger 1-inch CMOS sensors. DJI’s Osmo Pocket 3 camera won me over with its cleverly designed screen, impressive boot up speed, simplicity and versatility. Of course, it also helps to have really good image quality.

Leica’s new M11 Monochrom is a lovely camera, and an absolute joy to shoot with. But as much as I cherish its stubborn loyalty to black-and-white photography, here’s a sobering fact: If you paid me $10 for each of the 909 pictures I shot with it, I’d still need another $105 to buy one.
