The Insta360 X3 is more of everything we liked about its predecessor, the One X2. The X3 is a small, waterproof 360 camera that creates immersive 360 videos and photos.

The Insta360 One RS might look like a typical GoPro-like action cam, but it’s actually multiple cameras in one. For anyone not familiar with Insta360, the company specializes in outside-the-box cameras. As its name suggests, Insta360 does make 360 cameras like the One X2.

The Leica M11 is the iconic photography company’s latest full-frame digital rangefinder camera, packing a 60-megapixel image sensor into an all-metal body, along with a range of refinements over the previous M10.

The Leica Q and its successor, the Q2, has long been one of my favorite fixed-lens cameras. Since Sony seems to have forgotten its own RX1R II from 2015, the Q2 is the only full-frame compact still current. And now the Q2’s new sibling, the $5,995 Leica Q2 Monochrom, joins it as the only dedicated black-and-white compact camera around. Priced at …
