The day has come; Instagam will finally add support for switching between multiple accounts this week! Yes, you heard that right. After almost five years in the social game, they have come to their senses and added the ability to flip through accounts quickly and easily.

Instead of waiting for the chaos of Black Friday, you might want to check out some of the fantastic deals available right now if you’re in the market for a new camera or lens. There are some huge discounts on a massive range of Canon gear, and the price of the Sony a7 III has just dropped 10%.

Imagine unwittingly spending $15 at a garage sale on an old camera body and a couple of lenses and later discovering that you’ve bought some Leica gear that’s worth more than seven thousand dollars.

The Canon EOS R3 represented a major step forward for the company, bringing with it the first stacked sensor in a Canon camera, helping them to get back into competition with the likes of Sony. It looks like the company intends to bring that technology to more cameras soon.

It’s pay day for a researcher who recently discovered a huge loophole in Apple’s iPhone cameras. He is being paid $75,000 for finding out that an iOS and MacOS camera issue allowed hackers to take over both the camera and microphone in iPhones and Macs, and could spy on the user.

It's known that both Canon and Nikon have been readying proper answers to Sony's and Fuji's mirrorless cameras, but details have been scarce and projected timelines aren't clear. Nikon recently clarified this, saying we can expect their mirrorless offering by spring of 2019.

It has been about 1.5 years since the Nikon Z9 was announced, and the company is about due for another big camera announcement. It looks like that might be happening soon, with activity ramping up behind the scenes.

If you follow any rumor mills, the night before a product is announced, we almost always know what it's going to be and the main features behind it. Even a few photos might leak. Apple is the only company that can keep such a tight lid on its releases, and even they have trouble. So we should have known something wasn't quite right when we didn't have any good information on the new D850 that was supposedly going to be announced today. Instead, Nikon simply announced the camera's development.

You read that correctly: f/1. Fujifilm is planning a lens that will be the first of its kind.

Until now, mirrorless bodies have been more of a side project for Canon, with the company declining to compete on the level of Sony and Fuji.

Adobe has realized the need to make video editing easier than it is with Premiere, After Effects, and the like. And they've now created Project Rush, a way to edit in the cloud using your desktop computer, phone, or tablet.

The site will then let you share directly to your Facebook profile, business page, or directly to Twitter.

Back in April, Sony quietly updated its a7R IV, bumping the quality of its rear display and renaming it the a7R IVA, in keeping with manufacturers’ tendency to choose model names that follow no logic. The a7R IV has now disappeared from sale, and right now, you’ll struggle to buy either of these cameras.

In a move that’s destined to please a lot of fans, Sony has released a firmware update that allows you to close the shutter of the new Sony a9 II while changing lenses. Will the update roll out to other cameras, and is Sony about to kill off its Imaging Edge Remote mobile app?

Alongside Nikon and Canon's much-anticipated mirrorless news, there's another announcement due this year that's keeping the rumor mills ticking over: the Sony a6700.

Bots have been used on social networks for as long as I can remember. They are a way of growing one’s community without much effort and getting more attention than by doing everything manually. However, it’s not organic, and thus social media companies have tried to shut them down for a while. Instagram recently launched a witch hunt and managed to get Instagress to close down. Yesterday, another big bot service, Mass Planner, was taken down. Is it the end of the bot era?

Is it ok to photograph a kids’ soccer game if you don’t know any of the children? It’s not against the law, but that doesn’t necessarily stop it from being inappropriate, and Hilary Duff wasn’t shy to put her point across.

2020 will be a huge year for Canon: not only are the Olympics taking place in Japan, but the manufacturer has two major full-frame mirrorless cameras ready to drop: the EOS R Mark II and what is being dubbed the EOS Rs.

Hold on to your seats, because Canon may be gearing up to release more ridiculous lenses, as a new patent application details.

Canon came blazing out of the gates with its mirrorless lens line, though the EOS R camera was a bit more in the middle of the pack. Apparently, that won't last long, as the company has confirmed they have an 8K mirrorless camera in the works.

In a surprising and romantic turn of fate, a married couple found that they happened to be in the same photo 11 years before they even met.

Sigma wowed us with the release of the 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art, which is undoubtedly a strike across the bow of the Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM. Not to be outdone, however, Canon is gearing up to release a new 85mm f/1.4L lens of their own with image stabilization.

Adobe launched a new YouTube series through their Lightroom channel to give Lightroom users some extra tips on features they may not have come across yet. While some highlighted features such as viewing masking for the sharpening tool are a little better known, others are more tucked away and might come as a surprise, like this feature that allows you to update the overall effect of a local adjustment with multiple sliders in effect.

National Geographic is receiving criticism online after posting images of some of the world’s oldest trees under the stars. One of the photos featured within the gallery is being called fake, namely due to a number of the stars in the Milky Way appearing to have been cloned.

I think few people can argue that Sigma hasn't been killing it lately, particularly with their 85mm f/1.4 Art and borderline audacious 135mm f/1.8 Art lenses turning in mostly rave reviews. It was only a matter of time before the big manufacturers responded, and from the looks of things, Canon is preparing to do just that.

We've been waiting a long time for the Canon EOS R3 and we finally have some good, albeit rumored, news on when it'll be launching, and it's not too far away.

We're always on the lookout for good camera deals and this definitely caught our attention. There is currently a highly rated eBay seller providing brand new Sony Alpha a7R II Mirrorless Camera Bodies for only $2,199.99. That's $500 better savings than any other major camera distributor is providing online right now. Usually we give a little caution with gray market cameras but the seller says these are direct import cameras and they come with a one year US Warranty through the seller. That's a hard price to beat. The cameras come in a limited supply so make sure to act quick.

The archive of Magnum Photos features numerous photographs of child sex workers, many of whom were photographed without their knowledge. Several of these photographs are sexually explicit, featuring nudity and encounters with clients. These images may constitute acts of child sexual abuse.

It’s long been assumed that the successor to Canon’s cropped-sensor stalwart, the 7D Mark II, will arrive in 2019. We’re now getting news that an announcement might be coming in the first quarter of the new year.

Tamron has been absolutely killing it lately, with the 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III RXD lens being wildly popular among Sony shooters and the announcement and release of several new lenses that widen their Sony lineup by quite a bit more.

It appears that DSLRs are not dead, as new rumors suggest that a 5D Mark V might be in the pipeline.

What on earth is going on with the world? Just when you think everything is as it should be, suddenly it all seems turned on its head, and you are left wondering if the old certainties were so certain after all.

A new patent has seemingly revealed Sony’s plans for a potentially game-changing new lens – that being, one that lets you take a photo, and select the focus at a later point.
