Snapchat's Spectacles can now export video in a much more usable format, ditching the circular shape and making footage captured with the camera-toting sunglasses play nicer with other social networks.

Hot Wheels has unveiled a new GoPro mount that allows users to get a first-person-view of their toy as it races along its track.

You need GoPro's smallest cube-shaped camera to use it.

Panasonic has announced the Lumix FT7, a new compact camera aimed at the more adventurous among us. This is a rugged camera, meant to be used outdoors and perhaps in turbulent situations.

The answer to which smartphone has the best camera is a tricky one, but Huawei has scooped up another award for its P20 Pro.

If you're a new Wyze customer, getting v2 is a no-brainer. Existing Wyze owners may be wondering, though: is it worth the cost to upgrade?
