Canon unveils EOS R, its first full-frame mirrorless camera
Canon’s answer to Sony and Nikon’s best
Sony has its storied A7 series and Nikon recently launched its very own Z series of full-frame mirrorless cameras. It’s now time for Canon to show its best hand.
The EOS R is the company’s first venture into the full-frame mirrorless camera market, which has been dominated by Sony so far. It brings in a whole new mount system and lenses, meaning any Canon glass made before won’t work on this without an adapter.
It’s simply called the EOS R without any numbering, but Canon says this is the first of many. Its mount system is called RF, which currently hosts four lenses — RF 50mm f/1.2L USM, RF 28-70mm f/2L USM, RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM, and RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM — with more to come in the following months (and years, of course).
The power of the EOS R lies in the 30.3-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor and DIGIC 8 processor. Canon’s fast Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus system is in place, and a total of 5,655 manually selectable AF points should help with focusing.
Naturally, it’s capable of 4K video recording, but at a maximum of only 30 frames per second. The photo shooting speed also tops out at 8fps. However, the camera has an ISO sensitivity range of 100 to 40000 for photos and 100 to 25600 for video, so low-light recording shouldn’t be much of a problem.
All this is housed inside a magnesium-alloy chassis that’s both dust- and water-resistant. There’s also a built-in OLED electronic viewfinder for accurately composing shots, along with a 3.15-inch vari-angle touchscreen LCD on the back and dot-matrix LCD on top of the body.
The only real downside is the single card slot which supports the UHS-II standard, but the camera does have a full range of ports and allows charging through the USB-C port.
The EOS R will become available in October for a retail price of US$ 2,299 (body only) and US$ 3,399 with the 24-105mm f/4L kit lens.

Insta360 X6: Never worry about missing the shot
Capture everything. Choose your angle later.
One of the biggest challenges when recording video is deciding where to point the camera. A moment can unfold in several directions, and choosing one composition means potentially missing everything else.
The Insta360 X6 offers a different approach.
As a 360-degree camera, it captures the entire scene around you. Instead of committing to a single angle while recording, you can choose your preferred framing afterward. A single recording can produce several different perspectives, depending on what you want the final video to show.
This makes reframing one of the most compelling parts of the experience. A shot originally focused on the scenery can become a shot of the people in it. A recording from a moving vehicle can reveal details that weren’t even visible from the original viewing angle.
The camera also offers other ways to capture a moment, including high-resolution 360-degree photos. Features like AI Director provide another option for turning footage into a finished highlight video, while its rugged construction makes it suitable for taking along on different adventures.
Ultimately, the appeal of the Insta360 X6 goes beyond its ability to record in 360 degrees. It gives creators more flexibility during capture and more creative choices during editing.
You don’t always have to get the perfect shot while recording. Sometimes, it’s enough to capture everything and decide what matters later.

DJI has announced the global availability of the Osmo Pocket 4P Pearl White, a new color option for its dual-lens gimbal camera. The new edition retains the camera’s 1-inch CMOS sensor, 17 stops of dynamic range, 10-bit HDR video recording, and dual-lens system.
The Pearl White finish uses mica-infused pearlescent pigments and a multilayer spray coating that creates subtle changes in appearance under different lighting conditions. DJI designed the new colorway for creators who want a camera that complements lifestyle photography, travel vlogging, and everyday video production.
DJI Osmo Pocket 4P Pearl White features
The Osmo Pocket 4P Pearl White features two lenses with different focal lengths. Its primary 20mm wide-angle lens has a 1-inch CMOS sensor and an f/2.0 aperture. It supports video recording at up to 4K at 240 frames per second, with LOFIC technology helping preserve highlight and shadow details in challenging lighting conditions.
The camera also supports up to 17 stops of dynamic range and a 10-bit D-Log 2 color profile. These features give creators greater flexibility when adjusting colors, exposure, and contrast during post-production.
For portraits and tighter compositions, the 60mm medium-telephoto lens has an f/1.8 aperture and supports 3x optical zoom and up to 12x zoom. The camera combines both lenses with gimbal stabilization in a compact body weighing approximately 230 grams.
Other creative features include:
- Slow-motion video: Record up to 4K at 240fps for slow-motion footage.
- High-resolution photos: Capture still images at up to 37 megapixels.
- 4K Live Photos: Record 1.5-second clips alongside photos.
- ActiveTrack 8.0: Track subjects such as people, vehicles, and pets.
- Fast file transfers: USB 3.1 support enables transfer speeds of up to 800MB/s.
- Extended battery life: Record for up to 210 minutes on a single charge.
- Fast charging: Reach 80% battery capacity in as little as 18 minutes.
- Automatic iOS transfers: Transfer newly captured footage to compatible iOS devices after powering off the camera.
Automatic media transfer works best with an iPhone 16 series device or later running iOS 26.4.1 or above, provided the camera battery is above 15%.
The camera also supports HDR 10-bit video recording for footage with a wider range of colors and greater flexibility during editing.
Compatible with DJI Osmo accessories
The Osmo Pocket 4P Pearl White works with DJI’s existing Osmo accessory ecosystem. Compatible accessories include the Osmo Pocket 4 Fill Light, ND and polarizing filters, wide-angle lens adapters, battery handle, and OsmoAudio microphones.
These accessories are sold separately, allowing creators to customize their setup for different shooting scenarios.
DJI Care Refresh coverage
DJI Care Refresh is available for the Osmo Pocket 4P Pearl White. The protection plan covers accidental damage, including collisions and water damage, through a replacement service for an additional fee.
The one-year plan includes up to two replacements, while the two-year plan includes up to four replacements. Other benefits include official warranty coverage, international warranty service, and free shipping, subject to DJI’s terms and conditions.
Pricing and availability
The DJI Osmo Pocket 4P Pearl White is now available globally. The Standard Combo is priced at £529 in the UK and €599 in Europe.

Fujifilm’s new instax Pal 2 and Link WIDE 2 make room for more creative memories
A new pocket camera and a collage-making printer join the instax family.
Seeing a memory take shape beyond your screen changes how it feels. A favorite photo becomes a print you can tuck into a journal or pin beside your desk, and the everyday moments you capture get a little more room to live.
That was the spirit of Fujifilm’s instax Playhou2e launch in Makati, where visual artist Jill Arteche brought her signature illustrations into the event space.
Her artwork surrounded the latest additions to the instax family, the instax Pal 2 and instax Link WIDE 2. Both devices treat photography as a form of personal expression, from the snapshots you take throughout the day to the printed memories you want to keep close.
A pocket-sized camera that goes wherever you do
The original instax Pal made the case for carrying a camera without a full-sized setup. Its successor, the instax Pal 2, builds on that with a refreshed design and improved image quality.
The palm-sized camera is built for everyday adventures and can capture angles that are awkward to get with a smartphone. Its compact body also makes it easy to bring along if you like documenting your day as it happens.
Fujifilm gave the Pal 2 a semi-matte finish. A new monitor on top lets you review shots right after you take them, and the added viewfinder, control dial, and lever give it a more tactile feel to shoot with.
The specs have moved up, too. The Pal 2 captures 10-megapixel images, double the original’s five megapixels, and its internal storage holds up to 100 images compared with 50 before. A separately sold microSD card adds more room.
The creative options are where the Pal 2 gets playful. It offers 30 effects, so you can give images different moods without editing each one from scratch. Its instax Animation mode strings up to 10 consecutive shots into a flipbook-style animated video.
Transferring your photos is straightforward. The Pal 2 supports wireless Bluetooth transfers, and a USB Type-C connection offers faster transfers to compatible smartphones. From there, you can edit the images and post them to social media or keep them in your camera roll.
Because the Pal 2 is part of the instax ecosystem, its digital photos can also be printed on instant film through compatible instax printers. That means you can shoot first and decide later which moments deserve a physical copy.
Turning your camera roll into something worth keeping
Taking photos is only half the fun. The other half is deciding what to do with the hundreds of images that pile up on our phones.
The instax Link WIDE 2 is Fujifilm’s answer for anyone who collects travel photos or documents celebrations. As the brand’s WIDE-format smartphone printer, it prints at twice the image area of the instax mini format, which leaves more space for group photos and landscapes.
Its biggest new feature is Photo Mixer, which builds scrapbook-style collages from multiple images you pick in the dedicated app. Instead of printing a single photo, you can combine highlights from a trip or a gathering into one larger keepsake.
The app suggests layouts based on your chosen photos and adjusts image sizes, angles, text placement, and fonts to keep the design cohesive. You can then add your own text and stamps. A cutout function identifies people and objects in your photos so you can layer them into the collage.
With Photo Mixer, printing becomes part of the creative process, and your camera roll turns into material for building a visual record of an experience in a single print.
The Link WIDE 2 also gets a design refresh, with two-tone finishes in Duo Beige and Duo Blue. The light and dark surfaces give it a polished look on a shelf or desk, and an illuminated instax logo glows while it prints.
Connectivity has expanded, too. Beyond smartphones and tablets, the printer works with PCs, Fujifilm X Series cameras, and the instax Pal 2, so digital artwork and other compatible images can become physical prints.
A more personal way to keep your memories
The instax Pal 2 and Link WIDE 2 share the idea that photography is a way to express yourself. The Pal 2 makes it easy to capture moments as they happen, and the Link WIDE 2 gives those images a place in the physical world.
Jill Arteche’s artwork at the launch backed that idea up. Her illustrations filled the space with personality and showed how photos and art can make an environment feel more personal. The event also made a case for revisiting and reinterpreting the images we collect.
Taking a photo takes seconds, and printing one can make the memory feel more special. The instax Pal 2 and Link WIDE 2 bring that into everyday life and give your snapshots room for creativity, from the moment you press the shutter to the moment you find a place for the print.
In the Philippines, the Fujifilm instax Pal 2 retails for PhP 10,599, while the Fujifilm instax Link WIDE 2 is priced at PhP 10,999. Both devices are now available on Fujifilm’s authorized stores and retailers nationwide.
