A new iPhone photo app promises to make life easier for owners of devices like Apple’s iPhone 12 Pro Max, which has a fantastic, high-powered camera system that will inspire you to take tons of photos — with many of those photos, we should add, also possibly sitting on your phone eventually, unused, taking up …
When’s the last time you bought a standalone camera? The folks behind the Olympus camera brand know it’s probably been a long time — which is why they’re in the process of getting out of that business altogether.

A team of Chinese researchers has just announced their creation of an inexpensive but powerful camera that’s the size of a shoebox and which seems destined to further chip away at privacy and individual anonymity — what’s left of them, at any rate. The camera is meant for surveillance and target recognition and is reportedly …
The “slow motion” modes on modern smartphones crank up the speed of video recording so that when it’s played back at regular speed the motion you see on the screen is slowed down. It’s a neat feature to mess around with, but slow motion capture has some very serious scientific applications as well. Capturing the …
When NASA’s GRACE satellites headed skyward aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket earlier this month, everything went relatively smoothly.

The iPhone 7 Plus, Google Pixel, Sony XZ Premium and Galaxy S8 have all claimed to have the world’s best smartphone camera at some point in time.
