The Olympus Air A01 is a camera without a screen that "misses" when you attach a smartphone to it. It is very similar to a lens intended for a camera with interchangeable lenses, except that it also has a sensor and other necessary electronics in the cylinder. In this case, the function of the "body" is taken over by the smartphone, which thus gains the power of a high-end camera with countless options that are accessible through applications.

Anyone who has ever wanted to record a "vlog" (a video blog that wasn't pure improvisation) or a promotional video has already faced the fact that they forgot or mixed up the text and only managed to do it on the 14th try. If you deal with this on a daily basis, it can be quite time-consuming. At the TV stations, they solved this with "trotl" drums, which until now were too expensive for home use. But now here's The Parrot, for which you only need a DSLR camera with recording capability and a smartphone.

The Danish manufacturer Phase One, which manufactures cameras for photo studios and professionals, has launched a trio of cameras under the name Phase One Alpa A-Series, in front of which even top cameras are hidden.

The line between digital cameras and mobile phone cameras is almost blurred. Although this fact is probably hard to swallow for all sworn (D)SLR users, let us remind them that a good photo is made by the person, not the camera, and that a DSLR does not automatically make you a better photographer. A pinch of creativity and we can be more than competitive with a mobile phone. This is today's reality. So follow the tips on how to take a great photo with your mobile phone.
Hasselblad has expanded its prestigious series of luxury compact cameras with the new Hasselblad stelar II camera, which, with the option of wireless Wi-Fi and NFC connection, promises the user new dimensions of photography.
Sooner or later, the time will come when digital photography will make its way into the name of mobile telephony, namely, we use these devices today for "clicking" at least as often as for all other strictly mobile phone functions. On the wave of this trend, French startup Prynt decided to turn Androids and iPhones into instant photos aka Polaroids by creating a unisex case with a built-in printer.
Phone cameras are getting better and better, and fewer and fewer people are using traditional cameras... and not just because a standard SLR (single-lens reflex) doesn't have the ability to instantly upload shots to Instagram. "Old fashioned" cameras are thus forced to stand out. How about about 24 karat gold and a case made from the skin of a rare marine animal?
The Kodak Pixpro SP360 Action Cam promises to see and experience the world in a whole new light. It's designed to capture everything you love to do. Recording 360° and HD video in one should satisfy the need for other digital cameras.
Despite all the technology, lenses currently have no serious rival in photography. Single-lens reflex cameras, those robust ones, which are precisely because of them, are far from being able to be put in a pocket, are considered the concept of excellent photography, looking down on the quality of smartphone photos. This level was only a pious wish for them, but with the Relonch Camera case, iPhone owners are offered exactly this - the luxury of the DSLR world.

As the quality of cameras in smartphones grows, so do the appetites of users. Not long ago, DSLR photography and mobile photography could not be thrown in the same bin, as they were light years or millions of pixels apart. However, it's not all that black and white these days, and with the advent of the Manual app, which allows for manual settings on the iPhone camera, the gap will be a little smaller and less noticeable.
