This is DJI’s second gimbal within 12 months, following the Osmo Mobile 7P, and it can be viewed as something of a correction. That’s not to denigrate the OM7P, which remains a very capable gimbal unto itself, but the $159 Osmo Mobile 8 addresses numerous shortcomings of its predecessor.
Sony has issued significant new firmware updates for two of its most widely used full-frame mirrorless cameras, bringing the a7R V to Version 4.00 and the a7 IV to Version 6.00.

Anamorphic lenses are a regular part of many cinematographers' kits, especially as new anamorphic lenses become more affordable and more cameras include more video recording features that help anamorphic optics shine. However, it can be challenging to envision the final scene, since anamorphic lenses squeeze the frame. A new online calculator can help filmmakers dial in the perfect settings with their anamorphic lenses and nail the framing every time.

In a photo industry of ever-increasing prices, it's refreshing to see optics that supply exceptional value for the dollar. The new Canon RF 45mm f/1.2 STM made the entire industry double-take upon seeing an f/1.2 optic for only $479. Surely, there must be a catch, so I took the handy little 45mm to a local Christmas market to explore the myriad lights using an extremely shallow depth of field lens.
