Fuji X-T6 and GFX180 Rumors

Fuji may be releasing new cameras soon, but until the event happens, we’re here to debate which of the rumors are likely to be true and which aren’t. Will Fuji really release a 180-megapixel medium format camera? Also, it turns out Lucas isn’t crazy and the idea of buying a compact full-frame camera and pairing it with APS-C lenses may actually make sense–or at least, one of our listeners is living that life.

Sigma FP2 and Sony’s New Wireless Lav Mics

Sigma’s new FP2 is a really interesting new L-mount camera in a tiny package, but does it offer enough over other options to be worth considering? We debate it in this episode. Also, Sony’s new wireless lav mic system seems like an ideal choice for users who shoot Sony. Finally, do you wish you could control your camera with voice commands? Turns out, now you can.

Tamron 16-50 f/2.8 and Ilford Collector’s Edition Film

We have more new lenses to look at this week, with the Sigma 20-60 f/2.8-f/4 and Tamron 16-50 f/2.8. Also, Ilford released a “Collector’s Edition” black and white film, but is it worth trying to get a roll over the regular variant?

Sigma 50-120 f/2.8 Lens and How To Love Your Camera Gear Again

We consider ways to rekindle appreciation for the gear you already have, although we all know we’d really rather buy that new lens or switch to a new camera system. And on that subject, Sigma’s new 50-120mm f/2.8 DC OS lens fills out an interesting trinity of APS-C zooms from Sigma.

Sony RX10 V and 600mm f/6.3 GM OSS Lens

We take a look at Sony’s new 400mm f/4.5 and 600mm f/6.3 E-mount telephoto lenses and compare them to some of the zoom options in the E-mount system. Also, is the Sony RX10 V the perfect casual birding camera?

Nikon Z5 IIC and Insta360 Luna Ultra Telephoto Lens

Nikon’s new Z5IIC is their newest compact and low-cost full-frame camera, but does it stand out against its competition? We take a close look at the details and try to decide. Also, Insta360’s new Luna Ultra “Stage Mode” firmware and telephoto lens seem to set it up for success for filming concerts and live events, so we put it to the test to find out if the new add-on lens is worth it.

Canon R8 Mark II and Camp Snap 110D

Canon just dropped the R8 Mark II and we discuss what this means for Canon’s overall lineup, especially for shooters just getting into full-frame. Also, the Camp Snap 110D and Fuji Instax Pal 2 are two new affordable fun cameras, but which one is more appealing?

Listener Mail and Fuji 400mm f/4.5 Lens

We dig through our inbox and cover some listener mail from recent episodes. Also, Fuji came out with a 400mm telephoto that sits oddly close to some of the other lenses in their lineup, and OM System has (finally?) come out with a new PEN camera that has our interest.
