September 29, 2024

This week's highlight was Richard's review of the Leica Q3 43. We also shared slideshows for the Bird Photographer and Ocean Photographer of the Year awards and details about how every major camera phone maker defined what a photograph is at the onset of the AI image era. As always, thank you all for being DPReview readers.
