FUJIFILM X-S
From £949 (body only), fujifilm.comStabilisation is the order of the day here.
Fujifilm has trimmed down its in-body image
stabilisation tech to make it 30% smaller and a
whole lot lighter while still covering up to 6.
stops. It’s also brought a mechanical shock
absorber – designed to squash shutter
vibrations – down to X-series cameras from its
higher-end models. There’s some muscular
digital stabilisation too, with a boost mode for
handheld use. Aside from that, the X-S10 is a
very capable video shooter, pulling 30fps 4K
footage from 6K of sensor data. There’s a fully
updated automatic mode to do the hard work
of setting up a scene for you, tracking AF
which can pull focus on your subject in as little
as 0.02 seconds (though that’ll depend on light
in the scene) and a flip-over LCD for those
who’d rather point the camera at themselves.
T3 SAYS: A great camera for beginners.
KOKOON NIGHTBUDS
£199, kokoon.ioThe principle of sleep buds is a very good one:
soothing sounds, piped into your ears to help
you drift off into a calm sleep without waking
your partner. But most sleep buds seem to
forget that they’re actually going to be in your
ears while you put your head on the pillow. If
you’re a side sleeper, bulkier buds won’t work.
You’ll need something like the Kokoon
Nightbuds; they’re 5.4mm thick, so far less
intrusive than many alternatives. You can also
use them to listen to regular audio, great if
you’d like to sail away with an audiobook – and
if you’re worried about missing chapters
overnight, they’ll detect when you’ve dropped
off and automatically pause your media.
There’s sleep analysis in there too, with optical
heart rate sensors built into the ear pieces to
pick up if you’ve had a restless night.T3 SAYS: These will help you get 40 winks.IMAGE^SOURCE:^ FUJIFILMIMAGE^SOURCE:^ KOKOON
