FUJIFILM X-T20
This X-T20 camera replaces the X-T10 in
Fujifilm’s APS-C range. It’s got a 24.3MP
sensor, and now shoots 4K video at a frame
rate of 30fps. It’s equipped with a touchscreen
LCD viewfinder that can be rotated if you
need to shoot at awkward angles, and offers
fast autofocus of 0.06s, with a choice of five
modes for tracking moving objects.
If that doesn’t suit, then also new from Fujifilm
are the X100 fixed-lens compact
at $1,300 and the mirrorless, medium-format
GFX-50S at $6,500.

Ever fancied buying a drone, but been put
off by the certain knowledge you’d crash
and smash it in about five minutes flat?
The Nimbus 195’s chubby body is built from
tough but lightweight carbon fibre, while
its propellers are made of flexible plastic.
The result is a drone that can fly full-pelt into
a wall or be run over by a car, and still live
to tell the tale. It’s waterproof, too.

Baby monitor cameras are
10-a-penny, but this one will do a lot
more than just let you keep an eye
on your child while they’re sleeping:
it can also reassure you that they’re
breathing properly. Its 1080p
night-vision camera detects the
tiny movements kids make as they
breathe and uses this information
to track their respiration rates, while
built-in environmental sensors also
monitor the room’s temperature,
humidity and carbon monoxide
levels. £TBC; http://www.firstalert.com
