NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--B&H is pleased to share the new OM SYSTEM OM5 Camera, featuring a 20.4MP BSI Live MOS Sensor and TruePic IX Image Processor built into a durable magnesium-alloy body that weighs less than a pound with a battery and memory card included.
Building on the success of the Olympus E-M5 Mark III, the new OM-5 camera boasts a new image processor, updated and improved weather construction, and improved body and Sync IS. Handheld High Res Shot has been added, as has Live ND mode. Interval mode exposure smoothing, Starry Sky AF, Custom AF Target Mode, MF Assist Focus Indicator, Movie Picture Mode (OM-Log), and Vertical Video are just some of the features that have been added. The OM-5 features in-body 5-axis image stabilization to alleviate up to 6.5 stops of camera shake, and Sync IS allowing for up to 7.5 stops, allowing long shutter speeds when shooting handheld. This new addition benefits DCI and UHD 4k video recording, the former utilizing a true 24p frame rate, and all with no recording limit. A new Vertical Video mode provides a 9:16 aspect ratio for easily integrating videos on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and other similar social-media platforms.

2. New Sony Alpha 7RV camera announced
The newest addition to the Alpha 7R line-up combines a 61-megapixel (effective) sensor and BIONZ XR processing engine to enable new breakthroughs in subject recognition and capture for both still photography and video. The Alpha 7R V also includes the most effective image stabilisation system yet offered in any of Sony’s Alpha cameras, as well as refined 8K movie output, a new 4-axis multi-angle monitor, high-speed communication functions, high-level operability and smooth workflow integration. Real-time Recognition AF provides advanced accuracy and broader subject recognition thanks to a new AI processing unit with deep learning. The system has been developed to include subjects like animals, vehicles and insects. The Alpha 7R V also includes continuous shooting at up to 10 fps with AF/AE tracking as well as tenacious real-time tracking, faster and more precise wide-area, high-density AF, silent vibration-free continuous shooting at up to 7 fps and a buffer memory that can accommodate up to 583 compressed RAW images, recorded at high speed. Features like focus bracketing and full-time direct manual focus are also available.
The durable magnesium alloy chassis offers improved heat dissipation for extended recording times, an upgraded dust and moisture resistant design and other refinements for maximum reliability in challenging working environments. The ALPHA 7RV is also compatible with the new PCK-LG3 Screen Protect Glass Sheet, which maintains touch sensitivity while protecting the LCD monitor against stains and fingerprints.

3. A TRUE THOROUGHBRED
The F-TYPE. It’s not only a sports car – it’s a Jaguar sports car: the difference is important. Don’t expect a racetrack refugee – but don’t expect a luxury GT either, the kind of car sporting fans of the brand previously had so often to be satisfied with. Think instead of what an Austin Healey or a Triumph TR6 might be like re-interpreted for the modern era: a coupe or, as in the case of the 2015-2019-era F-TYPE Convertible model we look at here, a roadster designed very much for the road. Let’s check it out as a used buy.
The main interior change made to this revised post-2015-era model related to the addition of ergonomically-optimised slimline seats, which featured lightweight magnesium alloy frames and more supportive backrest bolsters.

4. Schenker Packs 14-Core CPU and GeForce RTX 3080 into Ultra-Thin Laptop
Schenker has introduced its new Vision 16 and Vision 16 Pro ultrabooks that bring together performance, portability, low weight, and upgradeability. The 16-inch machines are based on Intel's Core i7-12700H processor with 14 cores and can be equipped with up to Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop graphics subsystem, but their weight is still lower when compared to Apple's MacBook Pro 14.
The Vision 16 and Vision 16 Pro notebooks use the same magnesium alloy chassis that measure 354 x 245 x17.1 mm and weight starting at 1.45 kilograms for the version with Intel integrated graphics, 1.5 kilograms for model with GeForce RTX 3050 Ti discrete GPU, or 1.6 kilograms for SKUs with higher-performance graphics processors. To put the numbers into context, the laptops are slightly thicker than Apple's MacBook Pro 16 with M1 Pro or M1 Max SoCs (17.1 mm vs 16.8 mm) and yet their weight does not exceed that of Apple's MacBook Pro 14 (1.6 kilograms).

5. Cannon EOS R7
The Canon EOS R7 (A$2,299, body only) is the spiritual successor to the company's well-regarded and long-running sports-and-wildlife specialist, the EOS 7D Mark II. The R7 swaps an optical viewfinder for an EVF, expands autofocus coverage across the entire frame, and boosts its accuracy with intelligent subject recognition for people, animals, and vehicles. A high-resolution sensor with 5-axis IBIS and support for 4K60 video rounds out its feature set. Although its image sensor doesn't wow us like the high-end EOS R3, from which the R7 derives its autofocus acumen, nearly everything else about the camera does; it's the model to get if you've been waiting for a mirrorless update to the 7D Mark II. In light of all its strengths, the R7 displaces the Fujifilm X-T4 as our Editors' Choice winner in the premium crop-sensor class.
The EOS R7 sports all the hallmarks of an enthusiast camera, with a dust-and-moisture protected chassis that uses a mix of magnesium alloy and engineering-grade plastic. You also get plenty of on-body controls, dual memory card slots, and a fast burst rate for action photography.

6. Nikon binoculars deals available right now
A dedicated pair of astronomy binoculars, and just a little bit expensive, the Nikon WX is everything you could want for a night’s stargazing — though we’d prefer they be lighter.
That’s just not possible when you look at the design. An unusual Abbe-Koenig prism structure, three ED glass elements per tube, and a field-flattener lens system all add up. Luckily, there's a tripod mount.
The body is made of a magnesium alloy so it’s light but strong, and the combination of 50mm objectives and 7x magnification means images will be bright and contrasty.
In terms of accessories, you do get a well built metal case for your money, which you'll want to help transport the high-quality binoculars you've invested in. These really do give you the ultimate viewing experience, except, of course, for their bigger brothers, the EX 10x50 IF, which retail for $300 more.

7.    GoCycle G4 review
GoCycle is a genuine British success story. Its founder Richard Thorpe started out life as Formula 1 engineer for McLaren before designing the original G3 GoCycle a decade ago.
The commitment to the single-sided frame and fork, and small wheels wrapped around clever electronics continues, and the latest foldable G4 now features a full-carbon fork and a carbon mid-section, helping to shed weight.
The GoCycle’s rear-end swingarm pivots at the bottom bracket and is suspended from the main frame via a one-inch-travel shock. The swingarm is made from magnesium alloy, and as well as being a structural part of the bike, it encloses the ‘Cleandrive’ drivetrain.
