The Latest Canon PowerShot Rumours
credits: Canon According to the latest rumours, Canon is preparing to announce a new photography-focused PowerShot in September 2026, and the most interesting claim is that the camera will feature a zoom lens with a maximum aperture wider than f/2 throughout the entire zoom range.

Meike’s AF 85mm f/1.8 For GFX Is Here
credits: Meike/Fujifilm After a brief delay, the Meike AF 85mm f/1.8 for Fujifilm GFX is officially here, giving GFX users one of the first third-party autofocus prime lenses built specifically for the system. One of the biggest highlights is its size and weight. At 406g, it is almost half the weight of Fujifilm’s own GF 80mm f/1.7 R WR, which comes in at 795g.
