Our favorite new products from Canon, Reebok and Panasonic

This story is part of Select's New & Notable column, where we highlight our favorite product launches, major sales, what we're buying and some of our latest recommendations and advice.

This week, we’ve got new cameras, running shoes and a machine-washable dog bed we think you’ll want to know about, as well as some sizable sales worth considering (including but not limited to Memorial Day weekend deals).

1. Canon’s 32.5-megapixel EOS R7 and 24.2-megapixel EOS R10 mirrorless cameras are available for preorder (with shipping expected in June and July, respectively). The brand said these cameras are the first in Canon’s EOS R series to be built with a APS-C crop sensor, which is smaller than a full-frame sensor that’s common in more compact cameras.
2. You can now purchase Panasonic’s first smart microwave that’s compatible with Amazon Alexa, the NN-SV79MS. After connecting it to the Alexa app — or any Alexa-enabled device — you can easily cook or reheat food in the microwave through voice commands.
3. Reebok’s first adaptive footwear collection, Fit to Fit, is a collaboration with Zappos Adaptive that features two shoe styles designed with features the brand said makes taking them on and off easy for people with disabilities. The Nanoflex Parafit TR is built with a heel pull tab, and the Club MEMT Parafit is a wider shoe with a low-cut design and a removable sockliner. Both shoes also have a zip closure on the side to help slip them on.
4. Parachute introduced its Canvas Bolster Dog Bed, designed to offer dogs support while they’re resting on it, the brand said. It features a machine-washable cotton canvas cover you can unzip and remove from the microfiber insert, Parachute added. The dog bed is available in small, medium and large.

4. Starting June 1, select Allbirds shoes will be available in 14 Nordstrom department stores nationwide. They’ll come to Nordstrom’s website later this year, as well as expand into more stores.

I use my Great Jones Holy Sheet daily, and after months of staring longingly at the brand’s set of two Little Sheet pans, I finally bought them in a Raspberry shade that adds a much-needed pop of color to my neutral-toned kitchen. The quarter-sized sheet pans have all the same features I love in the Holy Sheet, but in a smaller version that’s perfect for baking half a dozen cookies or cooking dinner for one. The pans have raised edges and a non-stick ceramic coating, and they’re oven-safe up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, as well as dishwasher-safe, according to the brand. Great Jones is currently hosting a Memorial Day sale (you can save 25% with code MDW25), so I may just have to purchase another set.

Some weeks ago, after my wife’s cooking set off our fire alarm, we decided to move the cast iron pot she was using outside where it could smoke itself silly. Then we left it there. Then it rained. And then it rained a few more times — and we left it there a few more days. And then I wanted steak. So I needed the pot and it was time to get it back into working shape, a job that would involve undoing the damage of rain and the elements, including some rust. As I’d done before when it comes to rejuvenating cast iron, I turned to Bar Keepers Friend, which we’ve featured in our guide to grill cleaning — less than 10 minutes of application, scrubbing, washing and drying left me with a clean pot (and, subsequently, a delicious steak).
