Our Fujifilm X100VI Review is Out

View in Browser May 3, 2024 Hello there! Shaminder's taking a break from email duties for now, so I'll be stepping in to recap the week for you.  It's been a heads-down period for the team as we focus on prepping for what looks like a busy new release cycle this month.  We're also excited to start spotlighting some of our favorite stories we've ever published as part of our 25th-anniversary celebration.  This week's content highlight is, naturally, our review of the Fujifilm X100VI (hint: we like it). We also launched our roundup of Firmware updates for major camera models.  — Ben  Highlights Fujifilm X100VI review The Fujifilm X100VI is the sixth iteration of Fujifilm's classically-styled large sensor compact. A 40MP X-Trans sensor, in-body stabilization and 6.2K video are the major updates, but do they make the camera better?

We want to see your best bird photos: DPReview Editors' Challenge In honor of World Migratory Bird Day, we want to see your best bird photos.

Question of the week: If you could update one camera from the past, what would it be? Every week, we ask newsletter subscribers a question about gear, creativity or life. This week we looked back in time to ponder which classic cameras are overdue for a comeback.   Further Reading   Thank you all for your thoughtful responses to last week's question. It was fun publishing some of your replies in a post and seeing the rest of the community chime in. We're hoping to do more of this in the future.  In case you missed them, here are some notable stories we've tracked this week. •  Katie Deighton at The Wall Street Journal has a concerning piece outlining how Generative AI may (or may not) kill the Stock Photography industry. • Google Photos is apparently on the verge of releasing new features that will allow users more granular control over the faces you see.   • Popular camera bag and accessory maker Peak Design has partnered with The Roam Collective to create a new all-expenses-paid scholarship program designed to equip up-and-coming female photographers and videographers with the skills, guidance, and relationships needed to launch or level-up their careers in the outdoor industry. Learn more about the program here. Here's our next question of the week: What's a camera you used to own that you regret letting go of, and why?
