Nintendo game prices could rise
While the next episode of the saga Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom, is already the most anticipated game of the year, Nintendo could take advantage of its release to substantially increase the price of its games. At resellers, the price of this new episode is already displayed at 69.99 dollars, against 59.99 dollars for Nintendo games usually. A price that could be converted in France to 79.99 euros.
Canon announces a reasonably priced full-frame camera
While we are mostly used to discovering full frame cameras – with 24 x 36 mm sensor – at more than 1500 euros, Canon has created a surprise with its EOS R8. This hybrid camera with interchangeable lens is indeed launched at a price of 1800 euros. At this price, it makes a small concession, by not offering a stabilized sensor, but still promises a 24.2 million pixel sensor, an effective burst and a latest generation autofocus.
Tesla Vision begins rollout
Thing promised thing due. Tesla is slowly starting to roll out a new self-driving vehicle system using only the vehicle’s cameras, bypassing radars or ultrasonic sensors. Several Tesla Model 3 owners have thus discovered that their vehicle now allows a 360-degree field of vision, which is particularly practical for parking.
