Today’s smartphones are getting pretty good at
taking pictures, but they’re still limited by the laws
of physics. Better pictures typically require a bigger
sensor, and there’s only so much room in a phone.
Unfortunately, cameras with big sensors tend to be
pretty big themselves, making them inconvenient
for everyday use. Not so with the Sony a7C, one of
the smallest and lightest mirrorless cameras
equipped with what’s called a full-frame sensor—
which is to say, a nice big one that can take really
high-resolution pictures. Unlike most full-frame
cameras, the a7C is small enough to drop in your
bag for family outings, vacations or just daily
photography and videography.

Power wheelchairs can be a lot more dangerous than they
look, LUCI collects data that determines safe paths and
modifies the chair’s response, like slowing down before an
unexpected drop-off or halting to prevent a collision. An
associated app, the MyLUCI portal, allows users to track
and share data such as their chair’s charging status and
location. The power-chair accessory will be available at
mobility clinics in the U.S. in November.

Is it a phone or is it a notebook? In the case of Microsoft’s
Surface Duo, the answer is it’s both. The dual-screen
Android smartphone opens like a spiral binder, revealing a
pair of screens. Unfold it and it’s a digital ­notebook
