If you prefer a DSLR’s true optical finder to the EVF of a mirrorless, but don’t want to lug a heavy camera, there aren’t many options. Canon does have one worthy of consideration, however: the EOS Rebel SL2. It replaces the four-year-old Rebel SL1 a…

Early last year, Snapchat rolled out the ability for users to create their own custom geofilters. However this required that users log onto a dedicated website in order to do so, but a recent update to Snapchat has simplified the process as users will now be able to create custom geofilters within the app itself.
According to Snapchat’s support page, “To get started, simply tap “On-Demand Geofilters” in Settings to check out our all-new mobile creative studio. From there, you can pick a theme for your filter and add personal flair with text, Bitmojis, and Stickers.” However note that despite the feature being more readily accessible, users will still have to pay for these custom geofilters.
The cost of such a filter is priced starting at $5.99 and will range depending on how big the filter is, how in-demand that location is at the moment, and for how long do users want it to be available for. Safe to say that this feature is clearly aimed at businesses who want to do some promotions, as opposed to regular Snapchat users who just want to create something for fun, although we guess you can for a price.
At the moment in-app geofilter creations are only limited to users in the US, but more regions are expected to be added over time. In the meantime those living outside of the US still have the option of using the dedicated website to create their filters.

Given that every home is laid out differently, if you’re someone who uses Airbnb a lot when you travel, you’re probably aware that where one host might keep certain things won’t necessarily be the same with another, especially if you’re in a foreign country where they speak a different language.
However designer Isil Uzum has cooked up a concept for Airbnb’s app (via Cult of Mac) where he imagines what Airbnb’s app could look like should they integrate it with Apple’s ARKit. For those unfamiliar, ARKit was announced at WWDC 2017 earlier this month and is basically Apple’s official foray into augmented reality (AR), a tech in which Apple’s CEO has constantly waxed poetic about.
Basically as you can see in the screenshot above, with ARKit, guests can use the app to navigate the host’s home and pointing their phone around the room, it will show the guest where certain things are and maybe how to operate them. Given that some Airbnb hosts are completely hands-off and aren’t around to greet guests and show them around, such a feature would no doubt come in handy.
Unfortunately Uzum’s creation is merely a concept of what ARKit could be used for, and how it could improve on the Airbnb experience. Whether or not Airbnb will consider Uzum’s suggestion seriously or if they already have something similar in the works is anyone’s guess, but we would totally be up for it.

Alleged Moto Z2 Spotted On GFXBench
Posted in: Today's Chili
Earlier this month Motorola announced the latest handset in the Moto Z lineup in the form of the Moto Z2 Play. Given its specs, the Moto Z2 Play is a pretty decent phone but not what one might consider as flagship material, but then again many were expecting the Moto Z2/Z2 Force to be the flagship to begin with.
Unfortunately the Moto Z2 itself has yet to be announced, but we could be getting close as the handset has allegedly been spotted at GFXBench. According to the specs found on the benchmark website, the Moto Z2 will feature a 5.5-inch QHD display and will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, presumably the Snapdragon 835.
We’re also looking at 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, an 11MP rear-facing camera, a 5MP front-facing camera, and Android 7.1.1 Nougat as its operating system of choice. No word on battery size and other features, but presumably given that it is part of the Moto Z lineup, it will also play nicely with the Moto Mods accessories.
At this point in time it’s really hard to tell when the phone will be announced. Some are speculating that maybe it could be announced alongside the Moto X4 which will be towards the end of the month on the 30th of June, so check back with us in a couple of days to see if there is anything new to share.
