At its Galaxy Unpacked event, Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy S10 and S10+, both offering a rear triple-camera array, alongside a budget-oriented S10e 'essential' model with a dual camera unit. All three devices offer a stabilized standard wide and an ultra-wide camera; the S10e omits the tele-camera.

The triple camera array comprises a standard 12MP wide-angle unit, 12MP telephoto camera, and a 16MP ultra-wide unit with a 123-degree field-of-view.

Lensrentals is known for its in-depth teardowns of the latest and greatest camera gear, but not everything has to be about destruction. For a change of pace, Lensrentals has decided to build a lens rather than destroy it.

The kissing sailor featured in the iconic ' V-J Day in Times Square ' photo, George Mendonsa, has died at the age of 95, according to his daughter. Mendonsa suffered a seizure at the Rhode Island assisted living facility where he resided and passed away two days before his 96th birthday.

Overcome with excitement, he grabbed a stranger and kissed her. The identities of the two people featured in the photo remained a mystery for decades, spurring mu.

85%. Overall score. The EF-M 32mm F1.4 STM was an easy lens to miss when it was announced , unveiled at the same time as Canon's all-new EOS R.
