The launch of Leica's new rangefinderless M, a.k.a. the Leica M EV1, and Fujifilm's updated X-T30 III were the biggest highlights in a week packed with new camera and lens announcements. We published our initial reviews on both cameras and discussed the relatively minor upgrades of the X-T30 III in-depth in our DPReview Discussions video series. We're also excited to announce that the migration to the next chapter of our forums will begin at the end of next week, and you can learn more about what's happening via our robust FAQ on the topic. As always, thanks for reading and for being part of the wider DPReview community.
