What's the best vlog camera for beginners?

2 weeks ago | digitalcameraworld.com | James Artaius

Amazingly, people ask me "What's the best vlog camera for beginners?" more than any other question right now. Which makes sense, I suppose, as would-be creators are keen to up their game from shooting on a camera phone. But picking the best vlog camera for beginners – or for experts, as a matter of fact – is surprisingly challenging, because it feels like every company is pitching their cameras as content creation devices these days.
Is the Fujifilm Instax Mini LiPlay is still a camera worth buying?

2 weeks ago | digitalcameraworld.com | James Artaius

When I laid eyes on the Fujifilm Instax Mini LiPlay, it was love at first sight. This was a cool looking camera – and to this day, I still think it's one of the coolest looking cameras you can buy. However, the Fujifilm Instax Mini LiPlay was originally launched back in 2019 – although a refreshed version, in new colors, was launched last year. But the best instant cameras have come a long way in that time, so does this little looker still hold up today? Yeah, I think it does.

Trump tariffs: Blackmagic is the first camera company to confirm price hike for US customers

2 weeks ago | digitalcameraworld.com | James Artaius

Blackmagic is the first camera manufacturer to break cover since President Trump announced his market-crashing reciprocal tariffs, confirming that prices will rise – but only for US customers. And not by as much as initially feared. While most manufacturers have been radio silent while their shares hit freefall (Sony's stock dropped 20% since tariffs were revealed), Blackmagic found itself caught in the crossfire when it announced its new Blackmagic Pyxis 12K G2 at a US price of $4,995.
RIP: Sony just killed off one of my favorite cameras

2 weeks ago | digitalcameraworld.com | James Artaius

Dearly beloved, we're gathered to celebrate the Sony RX10 IV – a camera that Sony has just laid to rest, and that I will miss dearly. Yes, it seems that the RX10 IV (or the Sony Cyber-shot RX10 IV, to give its full name) is no more. According to Japanese outlet Asobinet, all the big retailers have listed it as discontinued – and while there is still stock here in the west, Sony Alpha Rumors is reporting that there won't be a replacement once stock runs out.
