Excuse us because we’ve just come across possibly the best camera on Earth currently (and this is only the faintest of exaggerations). It’s also left one of our editorial staff feeling rather faint; absolutely giddy with excitement. Meet the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II – Canon’s new flagship model for 2016, a real powerhouse of photography and videography with 20.2Megapixels of muscle.

Recently, Yahoo announced their 18th anniversary major update AND their brand-new mail app. We all recall our very first (and very cringe-ily named) Yahoo email address, so what’s new in the app? Smart Search is probably the best addition to a mail app since multiple inbox sorting.
