Breaking camera news: Nikon sues Viltrox, Leica might sell to China, and Sony reveals a massive 180MP sensor. Plus, why AI is costing photographers $50k a year.
Sony has just dropped a bombshell with a new 180-megapixel medium format sensor—is this the future of the GFX and Hasselblad? Meanwhile, Canon rumors point to a powerful new R7 Mark II with a high-res APS-C sensor.
But it’s not all good news. Nikon is officially suing Viltrox over Z-mount lenses, potentially killing off affordable third-party options. Leica is reportedly in talks to sell a majority stake to Chinese investors. And perhaps most importantly, we look at the new TIME Magazine AI documentary and the harsh reality of how AI is already replacing photographers and filmmakers.
