Daniel buys a new camera, shocking everyone, and Blackmagic has issued a recall for the Pyxis 12K sensor board. Also, Apple released a suite of their “creative” apps, and what was with the Google Clips camera?

Lucas goes shopping for a telephoto lens for his Fuji cameras, so we dig into the options and consider which one is going to give him the best shot of capturing wildlife shots for an upcoming trip. Also, apparently Leica is getting back into the camera sensor design game, and we’re curious to see what they’ve got cooking. Finally, we go through some listener feedback about Pentax and consider what might be next for them.

We dream about what Fuji might do in their next generation of flagship cameras such as the X-T6 and X-H3S, and take a look at the Camp Snap Pro, a slightly upscale version of Camp Snap’s first digital disposable-like camera.

The Leica M EV1 has us a little surprised at Leica’s willingness to deviate from the analog nature of their M series of cameras, and we debate whether it’s the camera Leica fans have been waiting for. But before that, Lucas continues his internal struggle of how to manage and edit his photos. Also, we look at an interesting set of Lightroom presets a listener pointed us to that seem to match other brands’ cameras to Fuji film simulations.
