An interesting article from nikkei.com - Casio expects a record profit thanks to their TR series cameras designed for people to take better selfies. The price of those TR cameras is as much as a good DSLR camera (some models are priced at $949!) and they sell very well:
GoPro published another teaser video of their upcoming Karma drone that will be announced in 2016:
Ricoh released a free Adobe Lightroom tethered capture plug-in for use with the Pentax 645z medium format camera ($6,996.95):
