Handcrafted camera bag company Ona is reimagining old favorites. Announced on Tuesday, July 30, Ona’s new classic line is a series of six camera bags, mixing new silhouettes with a design inspired by the company’s favorite bags. The new releases are the first new designs from the company in more than a year, with half already available and the rest expected out in September.

The first new bag in the Classic series, the Monterey, is a backpack designed to fit a full DSLR kit with up to five additional lenses and a 13-inch laptop, while still keeping a smaller profile. Inspired by the company’s Camps Day backpack, the bag is constructed from canvas and leather. The bag is available now with a $349 list price.

The Capri II is an updated design on Ona’s popular shoulder bag with what the company calls a more streamlined design along with riveted straps and more reinforcement throughout the bag. The bag accommodates a 13-inch laptop along with a camera and up to three lenses. The Capri II will come in two variations — one leather and one canvas. The bags launched this month, retailing for $289 for the canvas and $349 for the leather.

Updating another classic, the Pebbled Bowery is a limited-edition shoulder bag that’s designed with pebbled leather, new hardware, and an updated strap. The bag is limited to 200 pieces, and is selling for $259.

Continuing the line of compact shoulder bags, the Rockaway is an everyday camera sling designed to fit a DSLR and two lenses. The bag is designed to keep a lightweight profile, Ona says, with quick access to gear. The Rockaway is slated for arrival in September.

Stepping up the capacity, Ona is also launching a high capacity camera duffel bag. Tentatively named the Tool Kit, the duffel accommodates two bodies and up to four lenses, along with room for accessories like flashes, external hard drives, batteries, and film. The bag is expected out in mid-September for a $339 list price.

Amazon’s new Blink cameras aim to go the distance with 2-year battery life
amazon new blink cameras have incredible battery life

Amazon has announced two new wireless Blink security cameras. The Blink Outdoor and Blink Indoor capitalize on the design features and choices that made Blink a popular option in the past, including 1080p HD video, IR night vision, two-way audio, and motion detection. Perhaps most impressive of all is that both cameras are said to run for two years with only two AA batteries.

The Blink Indoor and Blink Outdoor cameras connect to the Blink Home app to provide the user with a live view of what the camera sees. The app will send push notifications if motion is detected. You can set up custom activity zones to cut down on alerts in high-traffic areas, as well as remove parts of the camera’s field of view from video recording as part of Blink’s new privacy zone feature.

Blackmagic Design’s new 12K cinema camera might actually make sense
blackmagic design ursa mini pro 12k actually makes sense detail

I just watched a 12K cinema camera get announced over a compressed, 1080p YouTube livestream. I had to chuckle as the host described the "subtle texture" and fine detail in the sample footage -- what is the point of showing sample footage if it has to be annotated? If this doesn't illustrate the disconnect between how video content is created and how it is consumed, I don't know what does.

The camera in question is the new Blackmagic Ursa Mini Pro 12K, a $9,995 follow-up to the Ursa Mini Pro 4.6K, a camera I really liked. The new model offers, as you can see, 7.4 more Ks than the old one. But what does that even mean?

What is Photoshop Camera? How Adobe’s new A.I. app edits photos before you take them

Photoshop has long been the industry standard of photo editing, but Adobe’s latest mobile app takes the Photoshop name in a new direction. Photoshop Camera, now officially out of beta, edits an image before it’s taken. Available for both iOS and Android, Photoshop Camera creates effects that previously would have required a lot of time behind a desktop computer. Here's how it works, and how you can get the most out of it.
What is Photoshop Camera?

Photoshop Camera, or PsC, is what Snapchat filters would look like if they were made by Adobe. Powered by Adobe Sensei, the company’s artificial intelligence program, Photoshop Camera uses tricks like facial and object recognition to apply filters specific to the image. Only, instead of giving your selfie floral deer antlers, Photoshop Camera blurs the background of the photo, applies studio lighting effects, creates pop art, or adds a number of different effects.
