This week, our team's attention was split. We shared a variety of sample galleries and footage from the Canon PowerShot V1, Nikon Z5II pre-production, and even the new Pixel 9a. We also spent plenty of energy trying to cover and unpack how new US tariff policies may impact the camera market. Of course, we also did our best to cover other major (and interesting) photography news this week, including a surprising photographer stealing the show during the biggest weekend in professional golf, The Masters. — Ben
