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.

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.

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.
