"From the Sigma BF to the Fujifilm Half to young photographers reaching for old digital point-and-shoots, the camera industry has looked a little different over the past few years. Are these moments just flashes in the pan, or part of something bigger? This week on The Vergecast, Chris Niccolls and Jordan Drake of PetaPixel's YouTube channel join The Verge's Allison Johnson and Vjeran Pavic to geek out about the last half-decade of camera advancements - the good, the bad, and the Sigma BF of it all."
"Then, Allison is joined by Verge News Editor and fellow phone nerd Dominic Preston to help answer a boatload of listener questions from people contemplating unsure of which smartphone to buy next. They help navigate the intricacies of living in a mixed iOS/Android household to the best options for someone who wants a headphone jack (spoiler alert: there aren't many)."
Unconventional cameras have gained popularity, with models such as the Sigma BF and Fujifilm Half inspiring a surge of interest and young photographers revisiting older digital point-and-shoots. The camera market shows experiments in design and niche features that prompt questions about longevity versus fleeting trends. Smartphone decisions remain complex, with trade-offs between ecosystems, hardware features, and form factor. Mixed iOS/Android households face synchronization and app-compatibility compromises. Headphone jacks have become rare, narrowing options for users who require wired audio. Small-phone enthusiasts, especially iPhone Mini owners, confront diminishing choices as mainstream phones trend toward larger sizes.
