April 26, 2026

This week was all about big launches, bigger questions—and a meaningful update closer to home.

We covered everything from GoPro’s latest pricing moves to Nikon’s expanding cinema ecosystem, while also teasing that our first major website redesign in more than 25 years is on its way.

Alongside that exciting news, we turned back to the community—highlighting a photographer drawn to foggy scenes—while digging into how gear holds up over time and watching new tools, like Viltrox’s latest lenses, push hybrid shooting forward.

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