Kodak finally launches Super 8 camera shown off in 2016 for 10x the price

Kodak might not always be quick these days, but it seems they get there in the end. In 2016, the company showed off a new Super 8mm camera at CES 2016. Almost eight years later, the company has now officially announced it.

In 2016, Kodak said the camera would come with a price tag of between $400 and $750. This seems pretty laughable now, as it’s being released with an MSRP of $5,495. Processing the film has significantly jumped in price, too.

Insta360 has announced their newest camera, the Insta360 Ace Pro (buy here). There’s also a non-pro Insta360 Ace (buy here), but I’ve been testing the Insta360 Ace Pro for a couple of weeks, so that’s what we’re going to talk about here.

It combines the best of the Insta360 ONE RS (buy here) form factor with the flippy-up screen of the Insta360 GO 3 (buy here) for a great final result. And it offers a few benefits that neither has.

Feelworld is a name that goes hand-in-hand with monitors. Typically, though, it’s on-camera field monitors. But they also do larger director’s monitors. Their newest, the LUT11H (buy here) is an ultra-low-budget one, too.

It’s functionally identical to its older LUT11S (buy here) sibling. Except, instead of SDI and HDMI ports, this one’s just got HDMI. Other than that, though, they’re pretty much the same in every way. Oh, and the lower price.

Lumionix Komet is “the most advanced camera trigger yet”

Lumionix Komet Camera Trigger

I’ve been using camera triggers of one sort or another for over twenty years. I’ve even built some of my own. So, when I see claims like the one in the title, I’m always a bit dubious. The Luimionix Komet, though, does seem to tick a lot of the boxes.

It’s currently running on Kickstarter, where it’s already hammered its modest $15,000 goal by a very large amount. It’s currently sitting at just over a quarter of a million dollars.

Laowa has announced two new full-frame lenses. At least, they’re sort of new. They’re the Laowa Ranger Lite, available in 28-75mm T2.9 (buy here) and 75-180mm T2.9 (buy here) varieties. They’re identical to the Laowa Ranger lenses, except in weight.

The two lenses combined shave 300g off their regular Ranger counterparts. Laowa says they also offer greater durability thanks to a new magnesium alloy housing.

Ricoh has announced the new Pentax WG-90. And true to form, it’s pretty much identical to its predecessor. In fact, I can’t see a single difference in the specs. The only change is that it has a Pentax logo instead of a Ricoh one.

The camera that’s been largely unchanged since 2017’s Ricoh WG-50 and sees no upgrades from the Ricoh WG-80 (buy here) whatsoever. It comes in either black or blue and will become available in early 2024.

Small portable fog machines seem to be the new thing at the moment. And Ulanzi’s not one to be left behind on such things. So, they’ve announced the new FM01 FILMOG Ace (buy here) fog machine.

This small handheld device falls into the same sort of category as the recently released SmokeNinja (buy here) and another new one from LensGo (buy here). But what does this one offer that the others do not?
