This Week in the World looks at this week’s most interesting stories out of the photo world.

Rumors are circulating that Canon is releasing an “ultra-small DSLR” that has the insides of a DSLR but the outsides (at least in terms of size) of a mirrorless. Specs include an 18-MP APS-C sensor, a DIGIC 5 image processor, an EOS M-reminiscent touchscreen, and 9 AF points, among other things. (via PetaPixel)

Adobe is going to stop selling boxed copies of its Creative Suite software in an effort to push consumers towards its Creative Cloud subscription service. (via PetaPixel)

Lowepro announced its Extra Large Flipside Sport 20L Bag. Perfect for landscape and wildlife photographers who take long hikes to get to their favorite shoot spots, the 20L features, well, 20 liters of storage space, “which according to [Lowepro’s] math is enough space for a Pro DSLR body with attached 300mm f/2.8 lens, a second pro body, small laptop, extra lenses and flash, chargers, accessories, a tripod or monopod, climbing gear like a trekking pole or ice axe, plus the 1.5 liter water reservoir.” (via Popular Photo)

Action cameras are booming. Forbes profiled GoPro Founder and CEO Nick Woodman and report that “GoPro sales have more than doubled every year since the first camera’s debut in 2004. In 2012 the company sold 2.3 million cameras and grossed $521 million, according to Woodman; with $100 million in sales in January alone, that annual figure should again double this year.” (via DP Review)

Talk about turning your luck around: A 26-year-old Portuguese photographer who recently had to sell his camera gear just so he wouldn’t starve to death “took first prize in the Daily Life category from the prestigious World Press Photo foundation. As a result of the ensuing attention, Rodrigues has been able to acquire brand new gear and resume his career in photojournalism.” Read more about this inspiring story at DP Review.

Have you heard of Memoto yet? It’s a very, very small wearable camera that “automatically captures two 5MP geotagged photos every minute (one every 30 seconds) and the built-in accelerometer ensures pictures are turned to the correct orientation.” Memoto’s founders recently took their Kickstarter darling around the SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas and captured 10,000 pictures.
