Panasonic’s S1 II is arguably the company’s best creator camera, if not the best creator camera, period. That’s according to our review from Steve Dent, who really liked a lot of things but especially the 6K RAW video and excellent stabilization. However, at $3,200, it’s expensive compared to the competition.
Nikon’s Z6 III has nearly the same video capabilities, is a better camera for photography and costs at least $600 less. Then there’s Panasonic’s own $2,500 S1 IIe, which was announced at the same time as the S1 II. It has mostly the same features but uses a non-stacked sensor more prone to rolling. Make sure to check out the full review.

The news you might have missed
Meta’s new smartglasses are an Oakley collab
And they look like Oakleys.
Meta’s already got its low-key Ray-Ban-designed smart glasses. Now it’s coming for our dads. Or me. Or people somewhere between our ages. These are the Oakley Meta HSTN, apparently pronounced: HOW-stuh. They’re made for athletes but will probably be worn by that guy in Costco. (I love Costco, by the way.) Oakleys might seem a jump away from Ray-Ban, but Oakley is owned by EssilorLuxottica, which also owns Ray-Bans.
Despite rumors that the Oakley glasses would have a camera embedded in the frame’s bridge, these first models keep the lens on the side, with an ultra-wide 12MP camera that can capture footage in 3K, compared to the 1080p resolution of the Ray-Ban iterations. Also, the battery is rated for eight hours on a single charge (double that of the Meta Ray-Bans).
Several variants are incoming in lens colorways a little more vivid than typical sunglasses, with red, black, deep-water (blue?) and even some transition lenses. However, the first limited-edition Oakley Meta HSTN has gold accents and black lenses. They cost $499 and go on pre-order July 11.
Windows kills the Blue Screen of Death
Black is the new blue.
Microsoft has been teasing this for years, but now it’s happening. There needs to be some sort of error screen, so later this summer, Microsoft is transitioning to a Black Screen of Death instead. Slimming, but just as frustrating.
The best early deals from Amazon Prime Day 2025
It begins.
Prime Day returns July 8 to July 11 this year, marking the first time the shopping event has been more than 48-hours long. Amazon typically has early Prime Day deals in the lead up to the event, and this year we’re already seeing some solid discounts on gadgets we like, including AirPods Pro 2 and an array of Amazon hardware.
