Cameras
The hardest things to escape from today are capitalism and consumerism. A portmanteau of both would mean mindless materialism, but a winning combination of the two would be an educated consumer (that’s you!) who is empowered to make informed decisions and wise purchases. This is what the Gear vertical wants to help our readers achieve, and our mission begins now!

Nikon Z 50 Review: Nikon’s best mirrorless camera yet
In Nikon’s current slate of mirrorless cameras, the Nikon Z 50 is the best one thus far. This is not a slight towards the quality of their other mirrorless cameras, especially as a proud owner of a Z 6 myself. But for its price and feature set, the Z 50 is the perfect camera for budding photographers. Upon receiving the Nikon Z 50, one thing was made apparent; this camera is tiny. I’ve previously mentioned how the Z 7 had a smaller body compared to DSLRs — the Z 50 is even smaller. It is essentially a further shrunken-down version…

Canon EOS RP Review: The cheapest full-frame entry point
Let’s begin with this: the Canon EOS RP is a surprising model that deviates from Canon’s usual EOS releases ; it doesn’t come with a new sensor or a dark-oriented focusing system. Instead, it is a full-frame mirrorless camera that costs less than other benchmark models such as the Canon EOS M5 and the Sony A6500. At S$1,699, Canon has done away with the notion that a full-frame camera with decent image quality should cost you an arm and a leg. Compared to its DSLR counterpart (6D Mk II), it is significantly cheaper and seems like the perfect camera for…

Set your sights on better security with the new Arlo Ultra security camera
Home surveillance and monitoring are still on the minds of Singaporeans even with how safe the country has been. According to The Economist’s 2017 Safe Cities Index, Singapore ranks second just behind Tokyo, Japan, which clinched the world’s safest city spot. To alleviate concerns of homeowners, Arlo launched their new home security camera onto the shores of Singapore – the Arlo Ultra. The device is the top-of-the-range out of their camera system line-up, and the Arlo Ultra has the capability to capture a 4K resolution video with High Dynamic Range (HDR) so that users can get the sharpest detail possible…
Canon launches two new iNSPiC models, but could make do with only one

Canon launches two new iNSPiC models, but could make do with only one
On Monday, 17 June 2019, Canon launched its first instant camera printer – available in two models – for its Mini Photo Printer lineup which includes a fresh logo and a revamped branding for the range. The rebranded iNSPiC line stems from the words ‘inspiring pictures’, precisely encapsulating the intentions of the new additions. The iNSPiC [C] and iNSPiC [S] series join the line-up as pocket-sized instant camera printers that combine image capturing capabilities with the instant gratification of compact mini printers. The iNSPiC cameras were carefully designed to be stylish and lightweight – the perfect must-have for parties and…

Canon EOS R: Same same but lighter
Every waking moment, another full-frame mirrorless camera is released. Not one to miss the boat, Canon steps up their game and delivers its very own Canon EOS R, equipped with the also new RF mount. The Canon EOS R is basically the dream of every (Canon-loving) photographer just two years ago — lightweight… capable… coming with edge-to-edge focusing… and even lenses that dwarf the existing EF lineup… Truly an immaculate piece of equipment. Yet, I didn’t think much of it, other than a sneak peek of what Canon has to offer in the mirrorless world. It didn’t seem to be…
