WHAT: SONY ZV-E10 II MIRRORLESS VLOG CAMERA WITH 16-50mm LENS KIT

WHY: If content creation is your thing, you need top-notch equipment to give you the edge. Say hello to Sony’s latest compact vlog camera. This update to the popular ZV E10 is perfect for high quality video production, and packs in a bunch of handy features and updates to save you time and have you looking your

best. This kicks off with a 26MP sensor, that can provide up to full 6K oversampling for better detail, working hand-in-hand with new 10-bit 4:2:2 recording modes for high-fidelity colour and tonality. That’s just the start of the handy and intuitive features here, and when you add a crack image stabilisation system and specialised shooting modes like Product Showcase and Background Defocus (aka bokeh), you’ll be nipping at Spielberg’s heels in no time. Audio is just as important, and the inbuilt directional 3-capsule mic with windscreen delivers, optimised to capture sound from in front of the camera. Whether you’re live streaming or prerecording, with its premium features, increased battery life, and unrivalled ease of use, the compact and lightweight Sony ZV-E10 II is ready for action. WHO: It doesn’t matter whether you opt for black or white, if you’re a serious content creator then this one’s for you.

WHAT: MOTOROLA RAZR 50 ULTRA 5G 512GB WHY: Flip phones are back! Motorola’s latest packs a huge 6.9" inch, 165Hz, foldable display on the inside, plus a 4" external screen – the largest on the market, with the highest resolution and refresh rate. This design means you can check notifications, reply to messages, get directions, take selfies, and more without opening the phone – and wake up the display or silence a ringer just by waving your hand near the external screen! Discovering cool new technology is an exciting prospect! Each month we take a look at some of the latest tech products available from JB Hi-Fi. You can also set it down half-folded to snap a hands-free selfie or steady a long exposure shot, or even use it in Desk Display mode to show a clock, photos or covers of what you’re currently listening to. Camera-wise, the Razr 50 Ultra packs two 50MP snappers on the back, plus a 32-MP selfie camera, which can shoot video up to 4K. Quad Pixel technology provides four times better light sensitivity for more detailed shots in low light. This is all capped off with an ultrafast processor, memory, and AI Engine, and all-day – and night – battery life, and it comes in three fashionable colours. WHO: If the coolest style is your thing, but not above functionality, then the Razr 50 ticks all the smartphone boxes. WHAT: ULTIMATE EARS EVERBOOM PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER WHY: Similar in design to Ultimate Ears’ now classic Epicboom portable speaker, the new Everboom delivers big 360° sound, and comes with a dedicated Outdoor Boost button to pump up the loudness and bass when you’re out in the open air. Built to handle the rough stuff, this rugged speaker has been constructed using sustainable materials, has been drop tested to 1m, and comes with an impressive IP67 rating for water and dust resistance. It can even float in a pool while it’s playing music! The Everboom also supports NFC for simple one-touch connection with compatible Android smartphones, plus you’ll be able to party on for longer with up to 20 hours of play time from a fully charged battery. Want more? The Everboom comes in four nifty colour combos, and if you have any of the other speakers in the Boom range you can pair this with them for even bigger, multi-speaker sound. WHO: If you want to take your tunes wherever you go, and blast them out loud, the sturdy Everboom will deliver, while taking any (reasonable) knocks.

WHAT: JBL PARTYBOX CLUB 120 PORTABLE PARTY SPEAKER WHY: It’ll be party time wherever you go with the fabulous new PartyBox portable speaker from JBL. It pumps out seriously powerful JBL Pro Sound, which is clear, dynamic, and chock full of glorious bass – even at top volume. The PartyBox Club 120 also packs in a thrilling futuristic lightshow, which features starry lights, cool light trails, and even strobe light effects – and they’re all synced to the beat, too. Delivering up to 12 hours of play time

on a single charge, if you need to party harder you can swap out the battery for a charged one to keep things jumping, or you can give it a ten-minute fast charge for an extra 80 minutes of sound. Other useful features include a built-in handle, IPX4 splash proofing, AI Sound Boost that pushes the driver to its max capability, plus there are dual microphone and guitar inputs if you want to get a spot of karaoke or performance happening. WHO: When you want to get the party really pumping no matter where you may be, then the PartyBox Club 120 is just the ticket.
