Given Instagram launched as a way to make your iPhone pics look like they were taken on an old analogue camera, it’s kind of ironic that it’s now the biggest digital photo app in the world, with 400 million users. With the summer now here, those 400m users will be uploading billions of holiday snaps, which is really annoying for those of us stuck at home. But we’ve put aside our jealousy to make this guide to the cameras, accessories and tips you need to level up your pics. If, like me, you believe the best camera is the one that’s with you, then make sure you’re always carrying our favourite cameraphone. If you’re a semi-pro like News Editor Tom Morgan (@tommorgan3) you’ll want to check out the best new…

You’ve a few days to knock down a wall. You can come at it with a Vulcan bomber, dropping out of the stratosphere like a howling angel of destruction. Or you can grab a screwdriver and chip away at the mortar until the thing falls down under its own weight. Sony is a fan of the latter method, taking another important chunk out of the formidable smartphone market with this, another mid-range ‘X’ series wedge. Aside from its striking edge-toedge 6in 1080p screen, Sony is again playing to its imaging strength – the XA Ultra has the most powerful front-facing camera we’ve ever seen. It’s a 16MP sensor with autofocus, HDR, optical stabilisation and its own LED flash – specs we’d be happy with on a rear camera… although that…

Hey, you need to clear your cynicism cache. Admittedly, the same thought crossed our minds when we saw little Zenbo here – that Asus had strung it together purely to jump itself up the news agenda from a not-very-exciting Computex show out in Taipei. But actually, we kind of want one. By removing the need for their home robot to do anything complicated like manipulate its surroundings, making Zenbo purely a roll-around net-connected helper, Asus reckons it can let you have one (in 2017) for not many hundred quid. It can take messages, play games, be a security guard and watch your elderly relatives, and – just occasionally – jump you up the news agenda. As hot as… “Tell Mum I’m not getting up” US$600 / asus.com IF YOU CAN…

1 Comixology Unlimited US$5.99/month / iOS, Android No Marvel or DC – they have their own apps – but Comixology still has a huge comics library – Walking Dead, Saga, Hellboy, etc – and now it has a subscription option. Um, in the US. Yes, we’ll let you know. 2 Strava Premium £3.99/month / iOS, Android Strava’s just further gamified your commute by adding Live Segments to its mobile apps, a feature only previously on Garmin devices. You’ll see an animation of you versus your PB and the segment leader. 3 Rawr Messaging £free / iOS Good luck trying to convince your social network to switch apps, but if they do, you’ll be faced with the ‘fun’ of customisable avatars that can be animated with the use of hashtags, such…

Dark Sky £free or £2.99/yr / Android Dark Sky on iOS was a big deal, for a weather app. For British folk, who like to check the weather constantly lest they be caught in the apocalyptic bouts of mild drizzle and serious cloudiness that blight our sceptred isle, it made the process a curiously beautiful thing. And now it’s on Android… but, like the climate, things have changed. On iOS the app is £2.99, and on Android it’s free, but with the hyperlocal forecasts – the app’s key feature – behind a £2.99 annual paywall. Not big money, but the principle has generated good old British thunderclouds of disgruntlement in the Android community. Nonetheless, Dark Sky is still the best-looking weather app on Android.…

PHONETOGRAPHY THE TRIP You didn’t think you’d need a camera. But then you bumped into the Chuckle Brothers at Nando’s and suddenly having a camera became pretty bloody important. There’s one on your phone, but what if the battery dies, or you can’t position it properly, or, or… oh, it’s all too stressful! EXOLENS ZEISS So your Samsung-toting friends have read our phone cam tests on p46 and they’re taunting you for the “rubbish” iPhone 6s Plus you carry around with you. But they didn’t factor in the ExoLens power-up that you’ve just bought, did they? It piggybacks on to your iPhone and adds a Zeiss-made wide-angle lens to the camera, giving you the kind of high-end glass that’ll make theirs look about as classy as a disposable point-’n’-shoot. With…

TOP TIPS GO PRIME A prime (fixed focal length) lens is an easy upgrade. They’re less versatile than zooms, but generally offer better optical quality as they’re built specifically for one focal length GO MONOCHROME Not only can you get great contrasty pictures, but switching to black and white can help hide noise. If possible, shoot in RAW, otherwise use colour and Say what?! CSC lens standards Panasonic and Olympus models can share lenses, but all the rest have their own proprietary standards. Choose wisely. SONY A7R II £2600 / sony.co.uk Putting a full-frame sensor in the body of a CSC is a bit like fitting a Ferrari engine to a Fiat 500 – it doesn’t guarantee great performance but the necessary ingredients are definitely there. In the case of…

DSLR EXPLORERS THE SITUATION Armed with your DSLR, you head into the wilderness. Your target? The Northern Lights, or the elusive beast you heard about on that Channel 5 documentary. Either way, patience will surely be a virtue. Here’s some sweet kit to make the long wait more bearable: HELINOX GROUND CHAIR As your wait for Aurora Borealis enters a third night, your legs will thank your brain for picking up a Helinox Ground Chair, not to mention your backside. Just imagine the bumbased situation you could find yourself in after sitting on the frozen ground for all that time. It weighs just 520g and packs up to the size of a large rabbit. Ground clearance is minimal, but it’ll be easy to spot what’s going on in the sky…

Hipstamatic Originally a resolutely old-school app, Hipstamatic was all about virtual film and lenses, its interface even aping a pointand-click camera. You can now opt for a modern design with a raft of controls. Either way, this app is superb if you want the convenience of a smartphone combined with the character of ‘real’ photography. Stuff says £2.49 / iOS VSCO If your camera app must come with a side order of social network, chances are Instagram will come to mind first. VSCO, though, is a much better camera, providing more advanced controls and some decent editing tools. The interface feels a bit arty and opaque, but once immersed you’ll find it great for snapping and sharing. Stuff says £free / Android, iOS GeometriCam If you feel reality’s a bit…

USE IT WITH.. Pocket Casts This speaker is ideal for the gentle pleasure of tent-based podcasts. Our favourite podcast app, Casts has a host of handy tricks including auto-skipping boring intros. £2.99 / iOS 2.49 / Android Outdoor Technology Buckshot Pro Mark Wilson, Features Editor Did I remember to bring the Bluetooth speaker, phone charger and torch? Sure did – this is all of them. OK, the Buckshot Pro’s sound is only really capable of filling a tent (your one, not the dance tent) and its 2600mAh battery will at best last a weekend’s camping. But the rugged, splash-proof build and three handy torch settings (including a tent-illuminating ‘lamp’ mode) make it pretty much the best thing to take to a festival short of a stash of forged beer tokens. £40…

£170 Motorola Moto G4 £170 Oppo F1 £120 HTC Desire 530 £75 Vodafone Smart Prime 7 £100 EE Harrier Mini £190 Huawei Honor 5X With these cheap but very cheerful handsets, skimping on your next phone is common sense. But which is the budget blower to jump on? Don’t fancy shelling out more for a phone than you paid for your first car? The iPhone 6s and Galaxy S7 aren’t the only ones out there, you know. There’s a whole class of great smartphones you won’t see on billboards, and the best of them get you 90% of the smart joy of an expensive model for a quarter of the price – and they don’t have to look and feel cheap either. Now that’s the kind of maths we can…

I WENT ROOFTOP CINEMA-HOPPING Ever since I went to a drive-in cinema in California last year, I’ve yearned for a similar experience in the UK. Now London’s rooftop cinema clubs have obliged. At Stratford’s Roof East, I watched Back To The Future for the umpteenth time, but now from the comfort of a director’s chair while munching down on hotdogs. And at Croydon’s Lost Format Society, I quaffed prosecco while having my mind blown by Ex Machina. It’s going to be difficult returning to the local multiplex come winter. Guy Cocker, Global Editor-In-Chief I SHOVED A SQUARE PEG INTO A ROUND HOLE Well, ‘shoved’ isn’t quite right. I delicately manipulated the very fabric of space and time, which allowed me to play Destiny on my PS4 using Microsoft’s super-sexy Xbox…

If you could send a single sentence back to the ’80s, what would it be? “Invest in chia seeds”? “Concussion is a thing”? Or how about: “Volvo is absolutely smashing it.” Clean fuel pioneers, sportswagons, the insanely capable XC90… and now this double concept launch to show its new Compact Modular Architecture. The 40.1 small SUV is no pipedream – the upcoming XC40 looks just like this, which is good. The 40.2, though, promises to be a generationdefining all-electric pioneer. It houses a 200-mile-range powerpack, with either two- or four-wheel drive. And it looks, as our ’80s friends would attest, totally rad. As hot as… Timmy Mallett £tba / volvocars.com…

£280 / olympus.co.uk This roughty-toughty 4K cam has activity tracking as well as ultra-crispy shooting powers It’s got a laser! It hasn’t got a laser. But it’s got an LED that looks like it might be a laser, and along with its brutalist aesthetic – familiar to users of Olympus’s stills cams – the TG-Tracker looks every bit the action camcorder. It’s got a more ‘trad’ form than a GoPro, being roughly rectangular with the lens on the end, but it adds up to about the same volume. It’s got a screen! Many things have sceens. But this chunky green monster has a fold-out 1.5in 115k-dot LCD like a grown-up camera. How’s that going to work with a waterproof case, you might cry. Well, dry your eyes, for the TG-Tracker…

BitTorrent Live £tba / iOS, Android Simultaneous live streaming of global sporting events – that’s all sorted, yes? Nope. Turns out that, despite high-profile services such as the BBC’s Olympics app and Red Bull TV, the server demands for delivering content to a worldwide crowd are both (a) tricky and (b) expensive. Enter, stage left, BitTorrent, aka the Queen of Streams*, which has launched a platform for hosting live event streaming. It’s a peer-topeer system (as you’d expect), making the viewer double as the broadcaster, removing the need for the aforementioned expensive content delivery infrastructure and slamming broadcast lag times while it’s at it. It’ll be launching on Apple TV soon, with Android and iOS apps to follow. Now BitTorrent just needs to sign up a few big-name broadcasters. *No-one…

Stand-nav SNIKKY BIKE Combining the wheel design of a Penny Farthing and the electric power of the modern age is the commuter-aimed Snikky Bike. Big front wheel for bump absorption, little back wheel and short wheelbase for manoeuvrability. The battery’s in the frame, the motor’s in the rear hub and there’s no saddle – you stand on footplates. A range of 20 miles and 20mph are promised on Snikky’s Kickstarter page; we’ve suggested a pasty-eating cruise control mode, but have yet to hear back from the developer. US$1200 / snikkybike.com Cartography RAZOR CRAZY CART SHIFT The original Crazy Cart was undeniably madcap. Expansive steering and throttle inputs mixed with some careful feathering of the drift bar led to highly agreeable sideways action. But ultimately, we judge all transport by the…

Erk. That looks like the tool of a hideously stylish dentist. It does. You’ll notice that, in a dentist’s lair, the only tools on show are the dainty, picky ones. Not anything that suggests leverage. Certainly not the thing that attaches your wobbler to the door handle. But, shudder ye not, odontophobics! This Swiss Kickstarter project is nothing to do with teeth, except for the facilitating of the passing of beer over them. It’s a bottle opener. Phew. And, yay! But not just any old bottle opener, of course. Bottle Opener X (BOx) has hidden gubbins including… wait for it… an AAA battery! Crumbs, eh? It’s connected to a circuit board, upon which such Wi-Fi wizardry is activated as to sync your bottle-opening activity with an app on your smartphone.…

TOP TIPS PHOTO PASS Shooting at a gig? Turn your flash off and wait until the stage is well lit, then take a burst of photos in one go to maximise your chances of getting one that’s sharp. CHEEEEESE! Encourage kids and pets to look at the camera by using the Look Birdy app (£free, iOS). It’ll emit a chirping noise to get their attention just before the shutter fires. Say what?! Phone camera smarts Smartphones create photo magic via a tiny module, with a lens and aperture in front of a sensor to turn light into data SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 EDGE £640 / carphonewarehouse.com Smartphones are no longer the poor, red-headed cousins of the camera world. While it’s true that they still have to contend with a few limitations…

TOP TIPS ZOOM WITH A VIEW A high zoom factor compresses the perspective, bringing features closer together, helping to convey, say, the buzz of a festival crowd. CAPTURE YOUR KIDS Children have huge eyes in relation to their rest of their features, and we see this as cute rather than alien-esque, so be sure both eyes are in focus. Say what?! APS-C sensor The X70’s sensor is bigger than the ones in most compacts. A bigger sensor takes in more light, meaning better pictures. FUJIFILM X70 £500 / fujifilm.co.uk To anyone who’s been brought up on a zoom-packing compact, the idea of a fixed-lens camera might seem like a lot of unnecessary hard work, but the X70 makes all that stomping about worthwhile. It takes the best bits of Fujifilm’s…

CSCITY SLICKER THE TRIP Your idea of a good time is a hop across to a continental city you can’t quite pronounce. You’ve booked a quirky Airbnb and your to-do list bulges with forensically researched must-sees that you want to get to before TripAdvisor ruins them forever. Here’s what to take… TWELVE SOUTH TIMEPORTER Back in the disused chemical weapons factory you’ve hired on Airbnb, you notice there are no clocks. But it’s not a problem because you have Twelve South’s TimePorter. By day it’s a case for your Apple Watch accessories (extra strap, charger and cable); by night you can open it up and attach the charger to the underside of the lid, and it doubles as a stand that’ll keep your Watch juiced and show you notifications through…

PEEKY GEEKY BLINDERS THE SITUATION Forget open–top bus tours, crumbling cathedrals and gallery jaunts around major European capitals: christen your new camera at these classic nerdy destinations ZEPPELIN RIDES FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, GERMANY Clambering into an oversized picnic basket and clinging on for dear life. Just two reasons to give hot air balloons a wide berth – especially when there’s a chance to go up and away in Germany’s infinitely cooler cousin instead. Friedrichshafen’s Zeppelin NT lets you take to the skies in this most colossal achievement of aviation history, flying high over the Bavarian countryside and central Munich. This Zeppelin is a modern airship rather than a creaking 19th-century model, but we promise you’ll still feel like a monied German baron for the duration of the flight. Handlebar moustache optional. zeppelin–nt.de/en…

Sennheiser’s latest technology has a lofty ambition: to transform the listening experiences across music, broadcasting, VR gaming, and beyond. It means you’ll be placed inside the music, the game, the movie or the soundscape – a completely new experience – and you’ll hear fine details like never before. The technology is called AMBEO, and it forms the company’s range of 3D immersive audio products and activities. Sennheiser has been involved in immersive audio for a long time, through 9.1-channel mixing and recording, and audio design for highprofile exhibitions – so it’s little surprise that it’s at the cutting edge. AMBEO is as versatile as it is powerful. Take Sennheiser’s upcoming VR microphone: it captures high-quality audio in three dimensions, allowing the finest nuances of any environment to be accurately soundmapped.…

Google is clever. Of this you need no telling. But remember, without our input, Google is nothing. Just a blinking cursor in the darkness. As if recognising its existential threat, this year’s Google I/O conference was headlined by the enhancement and integration of Google Assistant into your daily meanderings. Messaging app Allo is what you see here, littered with smart, not-at-all-annoying instances of Google cleverness. It’s a similar intelligence to the bots that Facebook is building into Messenger, or Amazon’s Alexa, or Siri… in fact, we’re getting the distinct feeling that the oft-imagined Skynet wars might be started by humans just trying to get our AIs to shut the hell up.

£tba (due winter) / uk.msi.com VR HEADSETS HAVE HEFTY CABLES – GET RID AND WEAR THIS PC ON YOUR BACK That is an odd-shaped PC. That’s because humans do not, on the whole, have PC-shaped backs. Look closely and you’ll see that this PC has straps. The Department for Education has decided that children no longer need carry schoolbooks, so they might as well carry their computers around on their backs. Where does their lunchbox go? Junior-sized fishing gilets with serving-compartmentalised pocketry. Hmm, let’s end that fictional child-based scenario and come back to the truth, because the ‘angling vest’ idea is actually pretty solid for the real use of the MSI Backpack PC – freedom of movement in VR. Why do I need to move? I’m in a virtual reality.…

#12 TWITTER RULE CHANGES Andrew Hayward Twitter was built for quick, bite-sized missives. But even so, that space can feel awfully crowded sometimes. Add in usernames of friends or attach images, video links or polls and your precious 140-character count might actually be more like half that. Luckily, changes are coming that will give you more room without dramatically changing Twitter’s unique approach. The social media giant has announced that certain elements will no longer take away from your character count, including other users’ names, photo and video attachments, polls, gifs, and quoted tweets from others. So you’ll be able to go nuts with media and still have 140 characters for text. Other upcoming changes include no longer having to put a period before someone’s name in a reply to…

Vi has ways of making you talk LIFEBEAM VI Creating a personal AI like the one in the movie Her is a challenge that’s clearly keeping product designers up at night. The latest product to promise truly personal interaction is this running neckband. It needs your phone, but offers motion-sensing in the neckband, heart-rate tracking in the Harman/Kardon-tuned earphones and feedback from Vi (say ‘Vee’), the female-voiced ‘AI’. She’ll learn your physical limits and text you the next day to ask how you’re feeling. One thing to bear in mind, though: a real personal trainer, however expensive, might say: “You look like crap. Let’s skip today’s run and get ice-cream.” US$250 / life-beam.com In a world without headphones… SOUNDLAZER In the future, electronic children will laugh when we say we…

It’s time for us geeks to get out of Emoji Town. It’s crowded here. Where are we headed? ASCII Art Bay! Tictures is leading the charge, with its library of user-customisable pics that can be one-click shared to the likes of Facebook Messenger, or copied to the clipboard to run into whatever earth-shatteringly important missive you need to impart to the universe. It’s Android only at the moment, but the developer is working on an iOS version. See you later, emoji bandwagoners!…

SMARTPHONES FOR EVERY SHOT & TIPS TO MAKE THEM BETTER from Instagram travel photography superstar Jacob Riglin (287k followers and counting) BEST FOR SUPER-WIDE ANGLES LG G5 £450 / lg.com Big selling point? LG’s brilliant G5 has turned a lot of heads thanks to its modular design, but it’s this phone’s camera that is its greatest asset. This dual-lens affair is pretty much the king of pictorial flexibility. What’s it like to use? It allows you to switch between standard point-and-shoot snaps and sweeping wide-angle photos. Daylight photos are resplendent with bright and natural colours, while the phone’s f/1.8 lens and optical image stabilisation tech ensure it gets by just fine at night. Having a wide-angle lens to hand more than compensates for any graininess, especially when you need to…

BACKPACK TO BASICS THE TRIP You’ve got everything you need on your back. You might not have access to power, a proper lav or one of those posh deli sandwiches you like, but whether it’s a festival, a Himalayan trek or a Whitstable weekend, you’ll need simple, effective kit to pack alongside your camera… MASTER LOCK 5900 PORTABLE SAFE It’s always nice to head somewhere sandy and remove yourself from the world. But you don’t want to leave your phone at home. Someone might be wrong on the internet and you’ll need to put them straight. This codelocked safe might be small enough to run off with but it comes with a cable so you can attach it to something less removable, such as a park bench or 4000-year-old yew…

For full reviews of both cameras, go to Stuff.tv TOP TIPS GO LONG Stability is everything with long exposures. Use a tripod and the self-timer so you’re not touching the camera when it opens the shutter. BLUR THE BACKGROUND Or create ‘bokeh’, as the pros call it. Use a lens with a wide aperture, or ensure a long distance between subject and background. Say what?! ISO The ISO number refers to how sensitive the camera is to light.

NIKON D5 VS CANON EOS-1D MARK II £5200 / nikon.co.uk It’s not just the pixels that are measured in the millions on DSLRs these days: you can push the ISO on Nikon’s D5 right up to 3,280,000 (extended).

FOR KEYBOARD WARRIORS Moog Model 15 You might think the price tag of this synth is a bit rich, but it’s a hell of a lot cheaper than the recent $10,000 Model 15 hardware reissue. And for your 23 quid, you get something that sounds just like the real thing (as in amazing), works in much the same way (so many patch leads!), but takes full advantage of digital. So there are presets aplenty, inter-app connectivity, and several virtual controllers. In short, it’s superb — the best standalone iOS synth bar none. Stuff says £22.99 / iOS FOR PRIVATE PIRATES Opera VPN If you’re frustrated at being in the wrong country to view certain online content (or, worse, are stuck somewhere that blocks pretty much the entire internet), you’ll need…

£50 / withings.com Forget heart-rate tracking and fat-burning zones – the Go is all about simplicity. You get basic step and sleep tracking in a super-simple wearable that’s barely bigger than a £2 coin. It clips onto your clothes, your shoes or your keys, or you can wear it on your wrist like a watch. No need to slip it off to hop in the shower either – it’s waterproof down to 50m, so you can even hit the pool or open water. The steps you clock up fill the E Ink screen, with a smartphone companion app working out distance and calories burned. It automatically throws in duration, start time and distance when it thinks you’re running or swimming. Sleep tracking is a more basic affair, working out when…

One-button wonder There’s a single button on the front for turning the device on and off and toggling between 180° and 360° settings. Another button is used to take a still or start filming. A red LED pulses to tell you when the camera is recording video. Remotely interested You can also control the 360 Cam from its companion app… and this is the best way to use it.
