The PowerShot name belonged to some of the best Canon compact digital cameras ever made but it has faded into obscurity of late. However, in the spirit of excellent cameras such as the Canon PowerShot G1X, we now see a return to the storied lineup.

Sony 50-150mm f/2 GM Review: Magnificence at a Hefty Price
The Sony FE 50-150mm f/2 G Master lens is the first of its kind, not only for Sony but any lens manufacturer. It’s exciting for photographers whenever a company breaks new ground with a lens. In the case of the 50-150mm f/2, the excitement is taken up a notch (or two) because the lens is phenomenal.
Viltrox 35mm f/1.2 LAB Review: Another Budget Winner

However, I do feel that there is some need for more of a “Creator Camera” that can be used for web calls, podcasts, and product videos.
OM System Outdoor Monster Curry Review: Bringing the Delicious Heat

Harman Red 125 Film Review: Paint the Town Red
It appears that Harman Technology’s foray into 35mm color film series has been a success, following the release of Phoenix 200 in late 2023 — which is still widely available despite being described as limited edition upon release — Harman followed up with another color negative film, Red 125.
