Here’s your chance to play juror and vote in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year People’s Choice Awards 2023, a collection of 25 stunning photographs that shine a light on the beauty and brutality of the natural world.

Six years ago, Ukrainian startup Jollylook brought us a very retro-looking analog camera that produced instant-print photographs. The company is back again with the similarly old-school Eye, that converts digital photos into instant prints.

Almost seven years ago, Kodak announced it would soon be offering a digitally enabled movie camera that shot on good ol' Super 8-mm film. Well, it's taken a while, but prospective buyers can now reserve a Kodak Super 8 Camera of their very own.

Photo contests offer a window to the world around us, and in this case, it's one full of grand beauty but also, increasingly of extremes. These images capture both the fight for survival and our resilience as we face life on a rapidly changing planet.

A kangaroo riffing on his air guitar, a sentient snowball, a face-planting seabird, a comically depressed owl and a twinkle-toed otter are among the funny, candid images that shone brightest in this much-loved, feel-good wildlife photography contest.

Last month, Leica released a new camera rocking hardware and software designed to help with image authentication. Now Sony has announced the completion of a month-long field test that will see similar tech enabled in its cameras.

Insta360 has launched a new wide-angle actioncam called the Ace Pro, which was co-engineered with imaging titan Leica, and has the outward appearance of a GoPro, but offers more in the video and photo departments.

Sony has launched the Alpha 9 III mirrorless camera, which is billed as the first full-frame model rocking a global shutter system, which enables high-speed shooting at up to 120 frames per second and shutter speeds of 1/80,000 of a second.

The winners of the Urban Photo Awards 2023 have been unveiled. It’s a collection of images that celebrate the diversity of city life, from the mundane to the extraordinary and everything in between.

Back in 2018, France's Pixii SAS presented a digital rangefinder camera where image previews, editing and storage were all offloaded to a paired smartphone. Updates came in 2021 and 2022, and now the company has launched a Plus model.

Mangroves may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a forest, but they're both incredible, unique ecosystems and serve as a structural and water-cleaning coastguard. These photos capture the wondrous, otherworldly ecosystems.

Leica has launched a new version of the M11 rangefinder camera that's designed to help photographers "create a seamless chain of authenticity, from capturing to publication" by applying a secure digital label to images.

From an igniting match to a mouse embryo and a micrometeorite, the winners of the annual Nikon Small World photomicrography competition have been unveiled. As always, this year’s stunning images capture the wonder of the tiny hidden universe around us.

Back in 2018, Italy's Samuel Mello Medeiros hit Kickstarter with a big ol' digital back for classic film cameras, followed by the next generation in 2020. Now the team has returned with a slicker proposition, a "high-quality digital film roll."

It's one of the biggest and most treasured photography contests on the planet, and this year attracted a massive 49,957 entries. But there could be only a handful of winners. We present the standouts, offering a rare glimpse into the natural world.
