The new mirrorless cameras you can buy soon

Photokina 2018 has been great for camera fans, particularly those who love mirrorless shooters. At the event in Cologne, Germany, we saw a few new models from big players like Fujifilm and Panasonic -- some medium format, others full frame. Whatever system you prefer, there's no doubt you won't have any shortage of options if you're looking to buy a mirrorless camera in the near future. There already plenty of gre at ones in stores right now, such as Sony's A7 III, but Photokina brought us more mirrorless cameras to look forward to. Let's take a look at the best of them.

Fujifilm GFX 50R

A follow-up to GFX 50S from 2016, Fujifilm's GFX 50R is a medium format camera with a 51.4-megapixel sensor -- in case you want to be taking super high-resolution shots. This rangefinder-style model is nearly identical to the GFX 50S, though it does have an upgraded, built-in OLED electronic viewfinder and Bluetooth connectivity (for wirelessly transferring images). It's also much smaller and lighter, weighing in at 775 grams without a lens attached. Most importantly, it's cheaper than the GFX 50S: Fujifilm is pricing it at $4,500 body-only when it launches in late November.

Fujifilm GFX 100

Why unveil just one medium format mirrorless camera when you can do two? That's what Fujifilm did with the introduction of its GFX 100, a medium format shooter with a massive 100-megapixel sensor. Details on it are scarce at the moment, but according to Fuji, the GFX 100 will be the first medium format mirrorless to have in-body image stabilization and shoot 4K video at 30 frames per second. It's hard not to get excited about it, even if it is expected to cost around $10,000 in 2019.

Panasonic S1R and S1

Those of you looking for something a little smaller than Fujifilm's GFX 50R or GFX 100 will like what Panasonic has to offer. The company announced the S1R and S1 full-frame mirrorless cameras, which feature 47- and 24-megapixel sensors, respectively. Both have in-body image stabilization, a high-resolution electronic viewfinder, a selfie-friendly tilting LCD screen and dual card slots (SD and XQD). You can also shoot 4K movies at 60 frames per second with the S1R and S1, and there will be 24-70mm, 70-200mm and a 50mm f/1.4 prime lenses to choose from. There's no word on pricing at the moment, but we'll learn more about that before their expect arrival next year.

If you don't want mirrorless...

There's always Taylor Swift's retro instant camera. Or, if you have tens of thousands of dollars to burn, you can go for the 64-megapixel, medium format DSLR Leica S3, which is said to be launching in spring of 2019 and will probably cost over $20,000.

Evernote cuts staff as user growth stalls

Image
Note-taking app Evernote has fallen on hard times of late, culminating in its latest spate of job cuts impacting 15 percent of its workforce (54 employees). CEO Chris O' Neil -- an ex-Googler who took the reins in 2015 -- announced the firings at an all-hands meeting earlier today, reports TechCrunch . In a message on the Evernote blog , O' Neill admitted he'd set "incredibly aggressive goals" for the company in 2018. He continued: "Going forward, we are streamlining certain functions, like sales, so we can continue to speed up and scale others, like product development and engineering." The layoffs follow an exec exodus just weeks ago and the company's recent brand refresh (complete with a refined logo and wordmark). But critics are more concerned about its product, especially the free tier, which they claim lacks the perks to...

The best air conditioner

When readers choose to buy Wirecutter's independently chosen editorial picks, it may earn affiliate commissions that support its work. Read the full article here . After six summers of researching, testing, and recommending window air conditioners, we've learned that quiet and affordable ACs make most people the happiest—and we think the LG LW8016ER will fit the bill in most rooms. This 8,000 Btu unit cools as efficiently and effectively as any model with an equal Btu rating, and runs at a lower volume and deeper pitch than others at this price. Little extra features like a fresh-air vent, two-axis fan blades, and a removable drain plug help set it apart, too. The LG LW8016ER is a top choice for an office or den, and some people will find it quiet enough for a bedroom, too. If our main pic...

We won't see a 'universal' vape oil cartridge anytime soon

Image
Pre-loaded cartridges of cannabis concentrate are currently among the most popular means of consumption, and for good reason. They're discreet to use and easy to handle, a far cry from the dark days of 2016 when we had to dribble hash oil or load wax into narrow-mouthed vape pens by hand. But, frustratingly, an ever increasing number of oil cartridge manufacturers employ one-off design standards so that their products won't work with those of their competitors, thereby locking customers into proprietary ecosystems. We've already seen this with nicotine vaporizers -- which has a seen a massive rise in "pod systems" in the last few years, each outfitted with a unique canister and battery built to be incompatible with those of their competition. Is it too late for the burgeoning cannabis industry to set a universal standard for their product designs? ...
