Ektar H35N — Creative Film Shooters Who Want More From Their Half-Frame: Everything the H35 was, plus a multiple-exposure mode that opens up a world of creative in-camera double exposures. The natural upgrade for H35 fans.

PixPro WPZ2 — Water Sports, Beach Holidays & Outdoor Adventures On A Budget: A practical, affordable waterproof camera for those who want a traditional zoom compact rather than a GoPro-style action camera.
