CANON EOS R5

Canon’s mirrorless

cameras got off to a slightly

slow start compared to

Nikon’s, but the R5 is a

technological powerhouse

that rights this. The most

eye-catching feature is 8K

video recording, but 20fps

stills shooting with in-body

stabilisation on a full-frame

lens will make it formidable

on all fronts.

SAMSUNG

ODYSSEY G9

Samsung’s banana-bent

Odyssey G9 truly surrounds

you with the action – its

bend matches the curve

of your vision. 49 inches

corner-to-corner, with a

1440p ultrawide resolution,

1ms response time and the

ability to handle 240Hz

signals, it’s astonishing.

BODY COMPOSITION SCALES

If you want to measure your health and not just

your weight, swap out your standard bathroom

scales for a set of these. Body composition scales,

like the Tanita BC-401 (pictured) and Withings

Body+, measure things like your muscle mass,

visceral fat, body water percentage, metabolic

age, bone mineral mass and more, in addition to

weight and BMI.

CUSTOM BEAUTY

AND SKINCARE

Take a look at the L’Oreal

Perso (pictured), a device

that creates custom

formulas for makeup based

on your complexion or

what you’re wearing, and

the Opté Skincare System,

which detects blemishes,

then dishes out the precise

amount of concealer that

you require.
