Dedicated digital cameras today are seen more as professional photography equipment but even in that market there is a broad range of users with different needs and different skills. Camera makers can try to focus on just one class of users or they can try to cater to them all. Canon is taking the latter strategy with the new EOS 90D and the EOS M6 Mark II but with a slight twist. Both Interchangeable Lens Cameras (ILC) share the same base DNA, just designed for two different types of photographers.

When you talk about recording videos these days, most people will probably presume you'll be using a smartphone. That's especially true when it comes to live streaming, since it's the most direct way to capture and send to the Internet anyway. Canon, however, is suggesting that you don't have to sacrifice quality and power just for convenience. With the new PowerShot G7 X III and the PowerShot G5 X II, the camera maker is trying to appeal to "visual storytellers", a.k.a. YouTubers who want to level up their live streaming with a semi-professional camera.

Once upon a time, crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo were the go-to places for making dreams come true. It's where projects that would have never been greenlit by companies went to become reality.

The latest to use that strategy is Canon whose IVY REC will try to make lifelogging a thing again.

This camera is the Canon IVY REC, and upon first glance, it reminded us of one of the most strange cameras ever made: the HTC Re. The HTC Re looked for all the world like a fat pipe, the likes of which you'd use to capture video and photos anywhere you went with a tap of its giant physical backside button.

Different camera makers have different strategies for upgrading their product lines. Some prefer to win over hearts by pushing out software updates that make old cameras feel brand new with new features. Others prefer to launch cameras with incremental improvements in the hopes that some customers would upgrade after every other generation. That strategy is especially true for "beginner-friendly" cameras that aim to sell by the numbers. At first glance, the PowerShot G7 X Mark III seems to be like that but Canon may actually have an ace up its sleeve.

I traveled to New York this week to cover the Microsoft Surface event. Over the past couple of years, tech journalists turned to smartphones to capture the news, from all perspectives and in all situations. I'm guilty of using a smartphone for major event coverage - there's nothing really wrong with doing it. Especially when devices like the Galaxy Note 9 provide such top-notch photo and video options. But for this event I wanted to remind myself what it was like to use a real big, professional camera. For this event I used a Canon EOS-1D X Mark II and Canon provided a couple of lenses to make the most of my situation from my most likely vantage point.
