Photography has never offered more choices.

This week alone, we looked at Panasonic's latest Lumix L10 through the lens of our studio scene testing, examined a pair of affordable new lenses from Viltrox and 7Artisans, and covered VSCO's latest push to become a more comprehensive creative platform. Cameras, lenses and editing tools continue to get more accessible, more capable and, in many cases, less expensive.

Yet the abundance of options doesn't necessarily make photography any simpler. The most memorable images still come down to the person behind the camera. That's why we also celebrated Nature Photography Day with a showcase of our readers' wildlife photography and profiled a photographer whose career has taken him from documenting Prince to chronicling everyday life on the streets of New York City.

The technology keeps evolving. The challenge—and the opportunity—remains figuring out what to do with it.

As always, thanks for reading DPReview and supporting our team’s work.
