We just got an alert from B&H that the Nikon Z6 III will be announced on June 17th, and there’s already a placeholder page on B&H (can’t pre-order until the 17th, though). They also published a pretty good teaser video that you’ll want to check out if you’re interested in this camera.

I’m really happy to testing lenses again, and our lens reviews will be back for you later this week. Today, I’ve been culling through my photos from the Nikon Z 28-400mm f/4-8 VR in preparation. It’s not the sharpest or brightest lens out there, but the zoom range is a blast. Even as a landscape photographer, I found myself focusing on scenes at 400mm that might normally escape attention, like the geyser you see below. Will I be replacing my Nikon Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3? That remains to be seen. But while you read this week’s Photography News, I hope you keep in mind that you don’t need to always follow the conventions in photography. Experiment a little – take portraits at 16mm, wildlife photos at 85mm, and landscapes at 400mm. You might like the different results that you get.

Photographers constantly have to copy photos from their memory cards. And in this day and age, there are four main card formats being used in new cameras: CFExpress A, CFExpress B, SD, and occasionally micro SD. The most common way to read these formats is through a card reader. Unfortunately for some photographers with too many cameras, that means a lot of card readers. In this post, I will review one solution: The Dockcase Studio Smart USB-C Hub 8-in-1.

Panasonic has always been known for their focus on hybrid mirrorless cameras that have both video and photo features. And their micro four-thirds GH cameras are essentially video-first, with stronger and more innovative features not available in typical hybrid cameras. This tradition continues with the newly-announced Panasonic GH7. This 25 megapixel micro four-thirds camera breaks new ground for the GH series and looks especially strong for video.

Canon has just announced their widest mirrorless L-series prime lens yet, the RF 35mm f/1.4 L. The lens has an impressively small form factor and comes with some nice video-oriented features – namely an aperture ring and minimal focus breathing. It ships later this month for $ 1500.
