Sony may not be the first name that comes to most minds when considering a new camera purchase, but it's increasingly becoming silly to not weigh it as an option. Both the company's point-and-shoots and DSLRs offer excellent features for their respective pricing, both on the "lower-end" and also the high-end.

Samsung really wants Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ owners to embrace its home grown Bixby digital assistant.
