In the latest new in the world of photography, DJI has disputed the Department of Homeland Security's claim that the China-based company is collecting logs and images to send back to the Chinese Government. Fujifilm has issued an advisory that someone is selling counterfeit rolls of film bearing the 'Fujifilm' brand name. Polish artist Michal Karcz shared a post that 500PX has asked him to no longer post his images on their site even though they once praised his work. They claim they are photo manipulations and not photography. The Wingo Pro is a Kickstarter project that uses a single action camera to simulate the 'bullet time' effect as seen in the movie "The Matrix". Finally, you can pick up the Insta360 Titan 11k 360 degree cinematic camera for a cool $15,000!
