While technology plays an integral part in our daily lives, many of us have little understanding of how the devices we use every day actually work. In the video above we reveal how a digital camera works, creating an image by allowing light through the lens and using a sensor to covert the data into an electrical signal
The Galaxy S6 Active is the phone for anyone who was upset when Samsung traded durability and water-resistance for thinness, metal and glass. Samsung's Active-branded smartphones have always been about ruggedness and the S6 Active is no different; it's built like a tank. Its edges are fortified with thick bumpers and the three buttons below the screen are sealed to prevent any particles from seeping in. The phone's dust-proof, shock-resistant and water-resistant enough that it can survive a day at the beach, a four-foot drop down a hill and a dunk in a river (or toilet) for up to 30 minutes. As you can see in our real-life "torture" tests in the video above, the phone's really, really tough.
As mirrorless cameras rise in quality and popularity, Canon is continuing to more or less ignore the category, and is instead doubling down on its high-end G series point-and-shoots. The new shooter in town is the G3 X, which boasts more pixels, more modes and more features. It also costs more dollars. The Canon G3 X costs $999.99, which is $200 more than the company's current flagship: the G1 X Mark II at $799.99.
Panasonic is launching the G7, a smaller 4K-shooting 4K mirrorless camera for $800 — half as much as the GH4. A blogger for Mashable got to play with the camera and shoot some 4K footage recently. He said although both cameras are of the Micro Four Thirds format, the G7 is way smaller and lighter. He wrote that the lightness, along with the plastic construction, makes the camera feel somewhat cheap. Buttons and control wheels cover almost every available surface on the camera body.
Sony's naming scheme for smartphones is getting weird. In April, the company launched the Sony Xperia Z4, its new flagship smartphone and a successor to last year's Xperia Z3, but only in Japan. Now, the Z3+ is globally available, but it's essentially the same device as the Z4 — which, as Mashable noted at launch, isn't too much of an upgrade from the Z3 anyway.
