Songdian Is Making A MFT Camera And Lens

Just over a month after joining the Micro Four Thirds system, Shenzhen Sonida Digital Technology Co. Ltd. (the company behind Songdian cameras) is already hinting at what might come next. Sonida is mostly known for its ultra-budget compact cameras, many of which are inspired by the look of more popular models. The lineup includes everything from X100-style compacts to action cams and instant cameras, often at very low prices. The overall reputation has not exactly been stella

Viltrox’s New Vintage Z2 Folding Flash

credits: Viltrox Viltrox has introduced the Vintage Z2 TTL on-camera flash, making it the third entry in the retro-style series after the Z1 and Z3 from last year. The Z2 weighs 52 grams, and the foldable design lets the flash head sit a bit higher above the camera when in use to help reduce shadows, then fold down when you are packing it away. It also has a built-in rechargeable battery that charges via USB-C. The flash supports both TTL and manual control, and it is being r

Viltrox Teases New Evo Series Lenses

credits: Viltrox Viltrox has been teasing a couple of new lenses at The Photography and Video Show in Birmingham, including two upcoming Evo Series primes, an AF 35mm f/1.8 and an AF 55mm f/1.8. The company has had a busy stretch lately, coming off CP+ 2026 in Japan and WPPI in Las Vegas, and while it did not have a dedicated booth at CP+, it was still quietly showing off some of these upcoming products. Now in Birmingham, the lenses are being shown publicly, giving a slightl

DxO’s PhotoLab 9.6 Is Here

credits: DxO DxO’s PhotoLab 9.6 is here, bringing over the more advanced noise reduction technology the company only just introduced with PureRAW 6. This update was pretty much expected, but it is still a meaningful one, mainly because it expands support to a much wider range of cameras. Alongside that, DxO is adding new edge-softening controls for its AI masking tools, plus a compressed DNG export option. The biggest change is that DeepPrime XD3 now works with Bayer sensors,

7Artisans’ New PL Mount Adapter

credits: 7Artisans 7Artisans has introduced a new PL Mount Adapter Kit meant to bring professional cinema lenses to a wide range of modern mirrorless cameras. At the center of it is a PL mount adapter paired with interchangeable mounts for Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon RF, and L-Mount cameras. Swap the mount, and you can move the same lens between different bodies. Fujifilm X is not included here, though there are separate adapters out there if you need it. PL lenses are standard in

The Latest Canon EOS R7 Mark II Rumours

credits: Canon New details are starting to give a clearer idea of what the Canon EOS R7 Mark II might look like, with fresh reports pointing to a 39-megapixel stacked BSI sensor. That lines up pretty well with earlier rumours from late 2025 that suggested something around 40 megapixels. Compared to the current EOS R7’s 32.5 megapixels, it is a noticeable bump, but not a huge leap. The bigger story here is not the resolution though, it is the type of sensor Canon is reportedly

Fujifilm Shares Future Plans

credits: Fujifilm At the CP+ 2026 show in Yokohama, Fujifilm shared a few insights into where its camera division is heading, including confirmation that the X-Pro series is not going away. In an interview with the French photography publication Phototrend, several Fujifilm representatives, including Jun Watanabe from X-Series product planning, Makoto Oishi from GFX planning, and marketing manager Shugo Kiryu, talked about the company’s current momentum and some of the ideas

Caira Camera Rolls Back Gen-AI Features

credits: Camera Intelligence Caira Camera, developed by Camera Intelligence and previously known as the Alice Camera, drew a lot of attention last year when the company announced plans to integrate Google Nano Banana directly into its imaging pipeline. The idea was to let users make major changes to photos using simple prompts, essentially bringing generative editing into the camera itself. The announcement quickly sparked debate among photographers, and the company now says

ULH’s New Lens Hoods

credits: ULH The creators of the Ultimate Lens Hood have launched a new campaign featuring three updated products meant to help photographers and videographers shoot through glass without reflections or glare. The lineup includes versions designed for traditional cameras, smartphones, and action cameras. The main product in the new campaign is the ULHpro, which the company describe as the smallest version of the Ultimate Lens Hood so far. One of the biggest changes is the add

Freewell’s New Multi Tripod

credits: Freewell Freewell has introduced a new support system called the Real Multi Tripod 5-in-1, designed to switch between several different configurations depending on how it is being used. The system can operate in Tripod Mode, two different Monopod Modes, Desktop Mode, and Trekking Pole Mode, essentially combining several types of supports into one piece of gear. The idea is simple enough, instead of carrying separate equipment, photographers can reconfigure the same t

Sigma Won’t Make Fujifilm GFX Lenses

credits: Sigma Sigma still doesn’t make lenses for Fujifilm’s medium-format GFX system, and based on recent comments from the company, that unfortunately won’t change anytime soon. With Canon RF and Nikon Z mounts largely closed to Sigma’s full-frame autofocus lenses, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the company look for opportunities elsewhere. One obvious option would be Fujifilm’s GFX mount, which uses a larger sensor than full-frame cameras. But according to Sigma CEO Kaz

Adobe’s Agentic AI Assistant Is Here

credits: Adobe Adobe has brought its promised ‘agentic AI assistant’ to Photoshop, Express, and Acrobat. The first version is fairly limited for now and is currently available as a public beta in Photoshop on the web and mobile, but not on desktop yet. Still, it gives us an early look at how Adobe plans to bring more autonomous AI tools into the Creative Cloud. Inside Photoshop, the new AI Assistant lets you describe the edits you want using simple language. You can ask it to

Canon’s New Catadioptric Lens Designs

credits: Canon A newly surfaced Canon patent shows some unusual catadioptric zoom lens designs, and it might offer a hint at how a very fast f/1.4 zoom lens for the RF system could be built without becoming extremely large. Recently there have been multiple reports that Canon is working on a constant f/1.4 zoom, which would fit into the broader trend of increasingly fast lenses. Even Fujifilm has been exploring extremely bright designs, recently floating concepts like a 33mm

Manfrotto’s New Photo Tripod

credits: Manfrotto Manfrotto has expanded its ONE-series lineup with a new tripod called the ONE Photo, and unlike last year’s ONE Hybrid tripod, this one is meant specifically for photographers. According to Manfrotto, the tripod uses a redesigned structure with a non-rounded leg profile that improves torsional rigidity and overall stiffness. The idea is to provide better stability for high-resolution cameras and long exposures. The tripod incorporates Manfrotto’s XTEND mech

Kase’s 150mm f/5.6 Reflex Lens Is Here

credits: Kase The previously reported Kase 150mm f/5.6 reflex autofocus lens is now officially here. What makes the lens interesting is that it combines a mirror (reflex) optical design with autofocus, something you do not see very often. It is launching for Sony E-mount and Canon EF mount, with the possibility of additional mounts later on. Another more unusual feature is the magnetic front ring, which allows filters and the lens cap to attach magnetically instead of relying

Escura’s Mini Camera For Film Photographers

credits: Escura Escura has announced a small cube-shaped camera called Ligar and it is trying something a little different for film photographers. The device attaches to the hot shoe of a film camera and automatically takes a digital photo the moment the camera’s shutter is released. In other words, it captures a digital copy of the moment at the same time the film exposure is made. The idea is partly convenience and partly insurance, if something goes wrong with the film rol

Venus Optics’ New Lenses

While Canon and Nikon both produced tilt-shift lenses for their DSLR systems, neither company has introduced equivalent lenses for their mirrorless mounts. Th

TTArtisan’s New Tilt-Shift Lens

credits: TTArtisan TTArtisan has expanded its tilt-shift lineup with the 17mm f/4 tilt-shift lens, which is now also available for Nikon Z, Canon RF, and L-mount cameras. The lens had previously been released for Sony E-mount and Fujifilm GFX systems, and this update simply brings the same design to a wider range of mirrorless mounts. With its ultra-wide 17mm focal length and tilt-shift functionality, it is meant for areas like architecture, interiors, and landscape photograp

The Latest Canon Rumours

credits: Canon A new rumour is causing excitement in the Canon community, suggesting the company could be working on a zoom lens with a constant f/1.4 aperture, possibly arriving as early as late 2026. The rumour site CanonRumors reports that there is “pretty good evidence” that such a lens exists. At this point, though, the details are still extremely limited. There is no confirmed focal length range yet, and there is also no information about pricing. The speculation appear

Harman’s New Switch Azure Film

credits: Harman Technology Harman Technology has introduced a new experimental colour film called Switch Azure, and it does something a little unusual with how colours appear in the final photo. Instead of reproducing colours in the typical way, the film deliberately shifts them around. Blues can show up as orange, yellows may turn into bright azure tones, and reds can shift toward purple or blue. The idea is to create a very distinctive look straight from the film itself, wi
