Although we have ran the occasional pranks in the past for April Fools’ Day, we decided not to do one this year. We wanted to just sit back and enjoy everybody else’s jokes this year. As it’s already April 1st in Australia, a few have started coming through already.

We’ll be updating this post as the day goes on and different timezones start hitting midnight. So, keep checking back. And if you spot a good one that’s not listed, let us know in the comments!

RØDE REVOLUTIONISES FOOD APPRECIATION WITH THE ALL NEW FOODMIC PRO CUISINE CONDENSER MICROPHONE

“Food finally sounds as good as it tastes.”

April 01, 2017: Sydney Australia Pro-audio brand RØDE Microphones is announcing a brand new microphone category – the Cuisine Condenser Microphone – and the world’s-first ever such microphone: the FoodMic Pro.

It contains features such as High-Fibre Pass Filter, 48v Phondue Power, and Variable Gastronomic Pick-up Patterns.

Fully tested in the field by RØDE’s most generously proportioned engineers, tastemakers and food vlogging superstar Johnny Choo, the FoodMic Pro is a prestige audio product ready to record the magic made for your table and deliver it to the world.

The sound of DELICIOUSNESSNESS.

The Koldunov Brothers

Always presenting us with great tips, the Koldunov Brothers have released a new video. As a parody of the various “condom life hacks” videos out there, they’ve released Condom life hacks for photographers.

While it may be a parody video, some of the tips actually look quite useful.

The most anticipated Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 GM FE is coming

Sony Photographer Hidema Nakajima shared a new lens that he got as part of his connection to Sony, along with a photo with the lens mounted on an A7RII to prove it. It’s the Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 GM FE lens:

I am introduce SONY new wide zoom lenses that I have assisted in developing. I had a NDA with SONY till March 31th. So, today April 1st I can say SONY FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM coming soon!

Hidema later revealed the trick and showed how he created the photo:

The Tomato Booth

The Tomato Booth is an app that wants to bring awareness to the fact that tomatoes are not really vegetables, they are fruits! It’s a photo booth app that turns you into a unique tomato (assuming that Unique tomatoes are a thing…)

The “app” boasts an impressive number of features like facial recognition, group detect, custom filters and non-profit support
