Outside of our reviews of the Sony DSC-RX1R III and Panasonic Lumix DC-S1RII, we'd like to think that this week's biggest news was introducing our new community manager, Mathew Anderson.
It's one of many exciting new investments we're making to support what we believe is the best camera and photography-focused community on the Internet, so stay tuned for more details soon.
And as always, we hope you enjoy all of our coverage this week, and thank you for supporting our work.
