April 19, 2026

From new gear to bigger industry shifts, this week’s coverage captures a photography world that’s evolving in real time. GoPro’s Mission Series signals a more serious push into pro imaging, while DaVinci Resolve stepping into photo editing suggests the lines between disciplines are continuing to blur.

We also spoke with Canon about the future of lenses at CP+, and saw that momentum continue with Freefly Systems joining the L-Mount Alliance — another sign of a growing, more unified ecosystem.

Alongside the news, we revisited the fundamentals with a photographer’s 70-year perspective on craft, and opened April’s Photo Challenge — your chance to put your own ideas into action.

As always, thanks for being a DPReview reader and supporting our work.

Gray Hair? This Is How You Reduce It Naturally

Most men dealing with gray hair have two options: live with it or dye it. Dye works, but it has a tell. The roots. The uniformity. The fact that it looks like something you did rather than something you have.

But now there is a third option: Particle Anti-Gray Serum. A daily spray that works at the root to gradually restore your natural color — hair and beard — without dye, without mess, without anyone knowing you're doing anything at all. Premium ingredients. Clinically researched. Thirty-day guarantee. Over 1,000,000 men use Particle because the results look like them.
