Get the Panasonic TZ90 travel compact for just £199 in this 40% price slash

Panasonic's TZ90 compact camera has just fallen to its lowest ever price on Amazon, making it a real bargain for anyone who's looking for a travel snapper with far greater zoom reach than their smartphone.

The TZ90 originally went on sale in mid-2017 for £399, which means this deal is effectively half-price (or 40% lower than Amazon's usual price). With 30x optical zoom, a 20.3MP sensor and the ability to capture 4K video at 30fps, the TZ90 feels very much like a modern compact camera, despite being just over two years old.

What makes the TZ90 particularly versatile are its electronic viewfinder, which lets you easily compose shots in sunny conditions, and its tilting LCD screen. That screen is handy for shooting things from high or low angles, and also flips up 180 degrees for selfie duty too. (Not in the UK?

Why should you buy a compact when modern smartphone cameras are so good? One area where compacts still trump phones is their zoom range, and this is one of the TZ90's main strengths.

Its 30x optical zoom gives you an equivalent focal range of 24-720mm, which means it's incredibly versatile and ensures you'll get phone-beating image quality when shooting distant objects (or on occasions where you simply want to remove distracting fellow tourists from your award-winning shot).

Many cameras that are newer and pricier than the TZ90 also don't always offer 4K video shooting at 30fps, so this is another feather in its all-rounder cap. Perhaps the TZ90's only limitation is its 1/2.3-inch sensor, but unless you plan to mostly shoot in low light we've found the image quality to be very good, with the hybrid image stabilisation very handy for keeping shots steady at those long focal lengths.

Mother's Day 2020 gift ideas: 18 gadgets and gizmos for tech-savvy Aussie mums

Raising a family is not an easy job, and the women who care for us each and every day deserve to be told how special they are each and every day. While we tend to forget to do that, Mother’s Day reminds us we need to celebrate the women in our lives, whether they’re our own mothers or our wives and partners helping us raise the young ones. Mother’s Day 2020 is fast approaching (with under two weeks to go), and there’s a pretty good chance you won’t be able to take her out to her favourite restaurant this year, or even get to a store to shop for something she might like.

The future of Magic Leap's promising AR efforts dim after layoffs

The Magic Leap Two is now further away than ever, unfortunately. Today in a blog post the augmented reality pioneer announced major layoffs and has decided to cut up to half of its workforce, according to some reports. The original Magic Leap One was supposed to be one of the first mainstream augmented reality headsets when it launched in 2018, but a high price point and lack of interest from developers left the headset high and dry after launch. According to the blog post, Magic Leap says it will be focusing its efforts on enterprise solutions (a statement HTC has made recently as well) and shift its focus away from consumer technology… at least for the time being.  The company has been open about creating a second headset that would offer improved specs for some time, but how that work will now have to go forward without half of the team , according to some estimates, remains to be seen. Is the window closing on augmented reality?  Although it’s just one company, Magic...
