Chinese-made surveillance drones used by the U.K.’s elite special forces were found to have cameras that secretly sent data to China.
Cameras fitted to K3 Scout surveillance drones used by the U.K. Royal Navy were discovered to be sending information to a system or device located in China, according to a report by The Telegraph of London . The cameras fitted to the K3 Scout drones contained components made in China.

Several establishments across the U.K. are announcing bans on Meta smart glasses, citing concerns that the devices could be used to record customers and staff secretly.
Wetherspoons, a popular pub chain with over 800 venues, announced on Friday that it is imposing an outright ban on Meta glasses.
“The general code that applies in our pubs, and most pubs, is that you can’t film customers or employees without their permission,” says chief executive Tim Martin.
“Meta glasses seem to breach this
Pentax is in a challenging spot. Its parent company, Ricoh, remains committed to the Pentax brand , and Pentax wants to continue to make DSLR cameras . The problem is nobody wants new DSLR cameras .
New DSLR camera shipments were 997,608 in 2024 and 690,911 in 2025 . DSLR cameras are in a death spiral, and the only thing keeping them going now is that entry-level DSLRs are still super cheap.

In a town close to the French/German language split in Switzerland lies a piece of photographic history that is worth taking a look at. In Marly, Switzerland, lies Machine E, a multilayer photographic coating machine that has been used to bring many world-beating photographic products to the market.
Having worked for Ilford in Marly for over 10 years and being an avid photographer, now that Machine E is entering its next phase for Adox, I thought it time to reveal the
I have a real dislike for most of what I call e-waste cameras on the market, which are those that are capturing the world through the lens of a literal dashcam. They tend to be cheaply built, take poor photos, and are littered with many frustrating compromises. I am instantly skeptical anytime a new cheap $45 point-and-shoot comes across my radar.
This is why I was so surprised when the C100 showed up . The novel design of composing via a large LCD
I recently added a camera that shoots 6×6 to my shelf. Square negatives, twelve per roll. I expected to enjoy the lens, the build, the ritual of loading film backs. What I didn’t expect was how much the shape of the frame would mess with the rest of my photography vision.
The first contact sheet made it obvious. My pictures are now more frontal, more centered, more symmetric than anything I shoot on 35mm (or with any other rectangular ratio). The

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is considering expanding its already existing ban on new DJI drones to include drones that already exist in the marketplace, claiming it wants to “secure the drone supply chain” by preventing the sale of drones equipped with military technology.
Last year, DJI was added to the FCC’s Covered List after a congressionally-mandated audit of the company failed to take place . In short, DJI was never given the government-mandated chance to defend itself, which caused it
