This week, we published our beginner's guide to setting up one of the most confusing but critical features on any new camera: Autofocus.
Richard also shared his first images shot with the Sony a7 V, and our community camera kit series took an out-of-this-world shift into the cosmos in our interview with community member Michael S.
If your pet is one of your main photographic muses or you're just in need of an excuse to smile, voting is now officially open today for our Canine Capers photo challenge.
Oh, and did we mention there's some big news to share about DPReview and one of the world's largest photography trade shows?
As always, thanks for being a reader and supporting our work.
