This week’s episode runs the full gamut of Camera Gear Podcast themes, including a new superzoom lens, an extremely nerdy deep dive into chroma subsampling, and Lucas fanboying over Peak Design gear.

The recent iPhone 17 Pro release brought with it a development we weren’t expecting: ProRes RAW support in Davinci Resolve. We talk about this exciting new capability as well as our thoughts on the growing pro video feature set of the new iPhone. Also, have you ever thought about rigging out your Osmo Pocket? Because apparently, there’s a product for that.

Canon enters the “FX3 killer” competition with the C50, and we discuss the features and tradeoffs this camera makes against the rest of Canon’s lineup, as well as the Sony FX3 and recently-announced Nikon ZR. Also, Sigma releases a new 135mm f/1.4 lens, and Kodak is apparently changing the formulation of their Vision 3 film stock.

Daniel has gone off the deep end into an electronics project involving a wireless tally light system for broadcast cameras, and Nikon released a new 24-70 that looks like a do-all photo and video lens with every possible feature they could cram into it. Also, Viltrox has joined the L-mount alliance, and we think we’ve found the next race Lucas needs to enter.

It’s all about Insta360 this week as we take a look at their new Go Ultra action cam and the Antigravity A1 drone. Is this new 360 drone the next big leap in camera drone technology, or is it vaporware? We’re definitely interested to give it a try.
