The Canon EOS R7 and EOS R10 mirrorless digital cameras are good news for photogs seeking the features of the popular EOS-R series at a lower price. Instead of full-frame sensors, the EOS R7 (32MP) and EOS R10 (24MP) have smaller APS-C sensors, which cuts costs and allows them to use smaller, lighter lenses. The RF-S18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM and RF-S18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM are the first of @CanonUSA's RF-S lenses for APS-C sensors. CLICK THE PIC for more info in my Tech Tip in Sree’s Sunday Note.

LG’s exit from the smartphone market leaves behind a legacy of cool, clever devices—which apparently didn’t sell. From the swiveling, dual-screen LG Wing to the snap-on second display of the LG V60 ThinQ 5G Dual Screen, LG’s lineup often included innovative units which set themselves apart. Others have caught up, but LG was one of the first to add telephoto and wide-angle lenses to smartphone cameras. LG’s departure should be good news for sales stragglers like Sony and challengers like OnePlus. Mobile Business, Lg Electronics, Wide Angle Lens, Lineup, Cameras, Clever, Lenses
