Fujifilm has revealed the X-S10, its latest mirrorless camera and one which seems tailor-made for vloggers and anybody else hoping for a super-portable way to shoot 4K video. The camera combines a 26.1-megapixel sensor with a new five-axis image stabilization system, which Fujifilm says is good for a whopping 6 stops.
One of the advantages of an interchangeable lens camera is not being stuck with the capabilities the camera came with, presuming you bought one bundled with some lens in the first place. If you need to take a closer look at wildlife without disturbing dangerous animals or need to get up close and personal with critters, you can swap out your normal lens for a zoom lens instead. Fortunately for photographers, Olympus has a new compact and lightweight M.Zuiko Digital ED super-telephoto zoom lens exactly for that purpose.
This year's smartphones will, of course, all place a heavy emphasis on photography, some of them going as far as having five cameras on their back.

The new X-T200 is Fujifilm's latest answer to the latter, offering a lightweight mirrorless camera that promises the familiarity and features found in many modern smartphones.
