PHOTOS ORGANIZER - FOR AIRDROP APP
Those who frequently use Apple's file-sharing service AirDrop will know that the order of the photos gets jumbled up during the process.
Local developer Andrew Lee created an app to ensure that the photos sent and received remain in the same chronological order. This way, you do not have to organise the photos manually after the transfer process.
The free app is available on the Apple app store and compatible with the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
SAMSUNG GEAR 360 (2017) CAMERA
This has two fish-eye cameras - each equipped with an 8.4-megapixel image sensor and a 180-degree f2.2 lens - to capture 360-degree photos and videos.
Priced at $348, it can also record and stream 4K 360-degree videos.
SONY A9 MIRRORLESS CAMERA
Sony is targeting sports photographers with its latest A9 mirrorless camera.
It features the world's first full-frame stacked CMOS image sensor with 24.2 megapixels, a high-speed blackout-free continuous shooting of up to 20 frames per second, 60 auto-focusing calculations per second and a maximum shutter speed of up to 1/32,000sec - everything a sports photographer needs, but in a smaller and lighter form factor.
Price and availability will be announced at a later date.
