We dream about 2026 and what we hope to see for new camera releases, as well as our personal plans for new gear purchases and projects we’re hoping to work on. Also, are the scattered reports of issues with the Blackmagic Pyxis 12K cause for concern?

Paper Shoot Camera

Blackmagic Pyxis 12K [B&H]

Lucas goes shopping for a telephoto lens for his Fuji cameras, so we dig into the options and consider which one is going to give him the best shot of capturing wildlife shots for an upcoming trip. Also, apparently Leica is getting back into the camera sensor design game, and we’re curious to see what they’ve got cooking. Finally, we go through some listener feedback about Pentax and consider what might be next for them.

In this vibe cam-centric episode, we look at the Lomo MC-A film camera as well as the recently announced Fuji Instax Mini Evo Cinema video camera, and give some hands-on thoughts on the Camp Snap Pro and Kodak Charmera. The biggest question on our minds is: does every new camera need an Eras dial?

We dream about what Fuji might do in their next generation of flagship cameras such as the X-T6 and X-H3S, and take a look at the Camp Snap Pro, a slightly upscale version of Camp Snap’s first digital disposable-like camera.
