Sony's next RX10 camera arrives July 9 — but the upgrades are minimal

Fri, 03 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Sony’s RX10 series has always occupied an odd spot in the camera world — a bridge camera with a superzoom lens that’s too expensive for beginners and too niche for professionals. Yet the RX10 IV, launched in 2017, earned a cult following thanks to its remarkable 24-600mm equivalent zoom range and reliable autofocus. Eight years later, Sony is finally ready to update it.

Apple's Latest Camera Patent Kills Tilted Horizons with a Rotating Image Sensor

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Every smartphone photographer has been there: you snap what feels like a perfect shot, only to find the horizon tilted by a few degrees. Today’s fix is digital — crop, rotate, lose pixels. Apple’s latest patent proposes a hardware solution instead: physically rotate the image sensor.

IT-NEWS, July 2 — Tech site PatentlyApple reported Tuesday that a newly granted Apple patent describes a camera module that physically rotates the image sensor to correct tilt caused by camera roll during handheld shooting.

Camera roll — when the camera rotates around its optical axis — is what makes horizons look tilted and vertical objects lean against the edges of the frame. It happens whenever you twist your wrist slightly while taking a photo or recording video. Most phones correct this by cropping and rotating the frame digitally, throwing away image data. Apple’s patent skips that entirely.
