In an increasingly saturated drone market, Parrot unveiled the lightweight Disco drone capable of flying at speeds up to 50 MPH for 45 minutes and shooting HD video with a 16 megapixel camera.
Nikon D5
Nikon's new flagship D5 is a full-frame, 20.8 megapixel pro camera that claims to be the pro shooters dream. Complete with 153 auto focus points and 99 cross-sensors with continuous shooting at 12 fps, a 2.36 million-dot touchscreen LCD, dual memory card slots, 4K video recording, and more.

Ricoh Theta + VR Sphere
Although the Ricoh Theta wasn't a new development at CES 216, the immersive experience that Ricoh used to showcase the Theta's abilities has us hoping that VR domes aren't too far removed from finding their place in homes across the globe.
Olympus M Zuiko Digital ED 300mm F4 IS Pro
The latest in Olympus' collection of high-end pro lenses promises to be an exceptional lens, promising up to six stops of shake reduction thanks to image stabilization that works with in-body stabilization.
Zeiss Lenses for iPhone
The thought of well-built Zeiss lenses for the iPhone is exciting, though the prohibitive price tag ($200-$300 per lens) and comparatively bulky nature of the lenses leaves some question as to how well they will be received by mobile-hybrid photographers.
360fly
4K resolution meets an immersive action camera experience, complete with a time-lapse mode and no stitching required.

Yuneec Typhoon H
Thanks to carbon fiber construction, a 4K camera to capture aerial footage, object tracking technology, and an aggressive price, Yuneec's new drone was one of the best new products out of CES 2016.
Nikon KeyMission 360 Action Cam
Here are a few of the limited things we know about Nikon's 360-degree VR camera; it's waterproof down to 100-feet, it's shock proof up to 6 feet, it uses two individual camera modules to capture a spherical image, and that it will be available late 2016.
Panasonic Lumix ZS100
Boasting a large one-inch sensor, 4K video, 20 megapixels, and an f/2.8 25-250mm zoom lens, the Lumix ZS100 is a feature rich compact camera that's perfect for travel and pocket-friendly.
