Get a great deal on the GoPro Hero 6 Black: It’s almost $130 off on Amazon
Filming your vacations isn’t always a walk in the park — especially if you’re doing anything remotely athletic like hiking, surfing, or snowboarding. What makes it even *more* difficult is bringing along a bulky, fragile, easy-to-mess-up camcorder (no disrespect to camcorders). If you can relate, maybe it’s time for you to finally pony up and get a GoPro.
If price is what’s in your way, then this deal is worth checking out.
The GoPro Hero 6 Black is currently $128 off over on Amazon. Usually priced at $270.99, this is a real steal (they once ran for $500 when they were first introduced, and this is one of the lowest prices they’ve ever been). Read more…

Singapore Airlines passengers have a camera pointed at them
If you’re flying with Singapore Airlines, don’t be surprised if it looks as though there’s a camera staring at you from the back of the seat in front. There is a camera present, but the airline insists it isn’t being used.
The discovery of the tiny camera, which we’re more used to seeing positioned above laptop displays, was made by passenger Vitaly Kamluk. He tweeted asking for expert opinion as to whether this was indeed a camera.
Just found this interesting sensor looking at me from the seat back on board of Singapore Airlines. Any expert opinion of whether this a camera? Perhaps @SingaporeAir could clarify how it is used? pic.twitter.com/vy0usqruZG

The Samsung S10’s cameras get ultra-wide-angle lenses and more AI smarts
Samsung’s S10 lineup features a whopping four models, the S10e, the S10, the S10+ and the S10 5G. Unsurprisingly, one of the features that differentiates these models is the camera system. Gone are the days, after all, where one camera would suffice. Now, all the S10 models, except for the budget S10e, feature at least […]

In terms of active users, virtual reality is predicted to be as big as Netflix by 2022. That makes it all the more surprising that Apple — typically a trailblazer when it comes to digital imaging — has yet to add 360-video capabilities to its iPhones. For all of the features it’s packed into the iPhone XR and XS, it couldn’t squeeze in a spherical mode? Tsk tsk.
Fortunately, the Mashable Shop is here to pick up where Tim Cook left off. To quote Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter: Partner, let us upgrade you.
