Jason’s minimum photo of lapwing, published in our article “My favorite photos on photography life this year“The echo with me. Looking at it last week, I was once again reminded that less can be really more – both photography and other places.

rumor mill
Gopro maximum 2 leaked images
Action cameras usually undergo rapid product cycles, but six years after the launch of Gopro Max, a second version has not been seen yet. Has Gopro really shut down and let the Insta360 be taken to the 360 ° camera market? I don’t think so. Rumors about Max 2 have been roaming for at least a year, and now we have started looking at some leaked images. This means that we should see Max 2 very soon.

Canon EOS R6 Mark III and EOS R7 Mark II can be declared in this summer
According to new rumors, in early August, we can find not one, but two long existed cameras from Canon. Support this fact Canon recently recorded two new cameras in Asia,
The first is a rumor to be a new mid-range full-frame model, the popular EOS R6 Mark II. In comparison to its predecessor, we can achieve a collision and rapid readout speed in the sensor resolution. Also expect a re -designed EVF and a modified flipple LCD mechanism.
The second announcement can bring us the new chief of Canon’s APS-C lineup: EOS R7 Mark II. As we mentioned earlier, it is expected to be a more advanced model than the original R7, which targets users, even professionals. Even speculation is that this can be the first APS-C camera to release the mechanical shutter completely. However, this will require a sharp, potentially stacked sensor. This will be quite achievement if it manages to keep an estimated price under £ 2000 in the current climate of busy tariff growth.
