As the reviews roll in, we're starting to get a clearer idea of who the Nikon Z8 full-frame mirrorless camera is for and what it is all about. As it turns out, the camera behaves a lot like it seems on paper — as a smaller Nikon Z9. Similarity to the Z9 is both a good and a bad thing, since it suffers from the same autofocus issues, while the compact form factor presents new challenges for Nikon to conquer.

Joystick drift has become an increasingly common discussion point for many gamers as a result of the return of controller gaming.

Joystick drift can be eliminated though, by purchasing a good game controller that utilises hall-effect sensors.

Whenever the topic of electric vehicles comes up, fledgling automotive brand Tesla is bound to make an appearance. The company has made a name for itself in the last decade or so by delivering practical electric vehicles that many thought impossible. As Tesla grew, though, it made some errors that could easily have spelled disaster for any other car maker.

April 2023 saw changes to US federal tax incentives for EV buyers. Although it still offers up to US$7,500 in tax credits, there are limitations on weight, MSRP, and country of assembly that dramatically reduced the number of qualifying vehicles. Here are three EVs that qualify for the updated 2023 clean vehicle credits.

Steam's free games roster is constantly growing, with new additions coming almost daily. April 2023 saw a number of particularly good new releases come to Steam. Here are four fun free games you might want to check out if you're in the mood for something new.

Depending on where you live, the Chevrolet Bolt is either the cheapest or one of the cheapest electric vehicles available. Unfortunately, Chevrolet is discontinuing the Bolt and Bolt EUV at the end of 2023, meaning buyers will have to look elsewhere for an EV that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. A look at the competition shows why the US$27,000 Bolt has been such a hit.

Breaking into the full-frame camera world can seem daunting, with many camera bodies starting deep into the US$2,000 territory. That doesn't mean that there aren't cheap full-frame options around though. Here are three of the best mirrorless cameras that you can buy for under US$1,500, often with a kit lens, to boot.

The 2023 Kia EV6 is an ode to excess and something of a hit in the electric car community. There are a number of things that make the performance EV stand out in the growing electric SUV segment and make it a surprisingly well-rounded vehicle, especially given its comparatively high US$48,700 price tag.

Micro Four Thirds is an interesting concept in a world where every camera manufacturer has its own lens mount that works with a limited lens selection. The collaborative effort between the likes of Panasonic, OM Systems, Blackmagic Design, Leica, and DJI, among others, instead developed a lens mount and sensor ecosystem in an attempt to achieve inter-compatibility and openness that was sorely lacking in the photography world.

CrossCheck When Tesla announced the CyberTruck all those years ago, it set off an electric pickup revolution. Unfortunately, the US EV maker lost its early-mover advantage by postponing the actual production launch by almost five years. The projected 2023 launch means Tesla will have to compete against the likes of the Ford-F150 — currently the most popular electric pickup truck available.

As a photography beginner, you might immediately look to buy an entry-level DSLR or mirrorless camera, while the correct move may actually be buying a used or open-box high-end or mid-ranger from a few years ago instead. From full-frame to Micro Four Thirds and beyond, there is plenty of excellent camera gear that can be had for a good deal if you look.

There's a lot to love about electric vehicles, but some manufacturers seem to have taken the EV revolution as an opportunity to turn up the dial on some of the automotive industry's worst ideas. From misleading marketing and proprietary technology, to potentially dangerous in-vehicle distractions, there are a number of things that should probably be addressed.

Electric vehicles have clearly boomed in popularity in the past few years, with many new companies and most established marques fighting to get a slice of the pie. With the market maturing, it seems more and more like EVs are the right choice for most car shoppers in 2023.

Sometimes Steam offers games at particularly impressive discounts thanks to seasonal sales. This is not one of those times. Instead, a two-week-long Xbox Game Studios publisher sale has resulted in some pretty impressive game discounts in some of the best game franchises to date.

Here are three of those underrated Linux features that Microsoft could learn from.

Off-road motorcycles are almost a perfect application for electric bikes — precise throttle control, simplicity, and buckets of torque are boons on the trail, and the range demands aren't as high as road bikes. Yet, electric motorcycles aren't nearly as popular as electric cars. That said, here are some of the best electric options in the off-road world.

The Tesla Model 3 is one of the company's most popular cars, but there are still plenty of issues with the vehicle. Common owner complaints include build quality issues and ridiculously long repair wait times. Not to mention the company's controversial CEO, anti-right-to-repair policies, or the many recalls that Tesla has had to issue over the years. Fortunately you don't have to buy a Tesla to enjoy electrification.

Platformers, especially of the 2D variety, have sort of had a resurgence of late.

From CES 2023 and beyond, auto makers have been hard at work putting out new EV models and concepts to wow their audiences. While Tesla has been a dominant force in the EV space for a long time, some of the recent EV releases and concepts make Tesla's designs look downright old-fashioned.

In a world of characterless MMOs and battle royales, it's easy to think gaming has become homogenous.

The Steam Autumn Sale has made a few hit story games very affordable until November 29.

Whether you want to spend your holidays with family or tucked away in the comfort of your own home, playing a game or two with some friends is an excellent way to make use of some time off.
