The best value underwater camera system ever.
By Nirupam Nigam
The best value underwater camera system ever.
It's been a long time since we've been this excited about a camera... After a month of diving with the Canon EOS R10, it's clear that it is the best value underwater camera system ever created. Now this may sound like hyperbole, but it's important to consider where the camera industry is in 2022.

OM Digital Solutions' first camera after buying out Olympus's camera business
In January 2021, OM Digital Solutions announced they had completed their acquisition of the Olympus imaging business, bringing 85 years of camera-manufacturing history to a close. OM Digital Solutions' first port of call was to reassure existing Olympus customers that they would be continuing down the same path Olympus had set out, honoring warranties and orders and developing new mirrorless cameras and lenses.

A GoPro powerhouse that can shoot 5.3K/60fps and 4K/120fps - and a significant upgrade to the HERO9!

A GoPro powerhouse that can shoot 5.3K/60fps and 4K/120fps - and a significant upgrade to the HERO9!
Every year GoPro comes out with a better camera - often ranking as the top action camera for underwater video. As expected, the GoPro Hero 10 is top notch and a surprisingly significant upgrade from the GoPro Hero9. With higher frame rates, it will be easier to slow down video.

Could this be the best bang-for-your-buck APS-C camera to date?
By Charlie Gardiner
Could this be the best bang-for-your-buck APS-C camera to date?
The Nikon Z30 is Nikon's newest release and will likely be on the radar of content creators who value solid photo & video shooting capabilities in lightweight, compact packages. Much like the Canon EOS M50, the Nikon Z30 is firmly aimed at vloggers and other casual content creators and comes with the obligatory flip-out, rotating screen so you can easily film yourself.
But the Z30 also represents a viable option for people looking for a solid, affordable camera in a compact package, whether for travel or underwater photography.

Canon has announced their first two RF lens format APS-C mirrorless cameras!
Last week, Canon announced their first two RF lens mount APS-C sensored mirrorless cameras - the Canon EOS R7 & the Canon EOS R10. They represent cropped sensor versions of Canon's famous EOS R5 and EOS R6 cameras. The Canon R7 is the mirrorless equivalent of Canon's popular 7D series and the R10 is reminiscent of Canon's Rebel line of cameras.

A hybrid cinema camera based on the popular EOS R5
By UWPG Editors
A hybrid cinema camera based on the popular EOS R5
Canon's EOS R5C combines the best of both worlds from the popular EOS R5 and the Canon C70 cinema camera, a true 'video first' mirrorless camera. The body of the Canon EOS R5C will be familiar to anybody who's used an R5 in the past. It's essentially the same but with an added fan for additional cooling. Admittedly, the fan does add quite a substantial amount of extra weight to the EOS R5C compared to the R5, adding about an inch in size from front to back.
