Hello there! Shaminder's taking a break from email duties for now, so I'll be stepping in to recap the week for you.
It's been a heads-down period for the team as we focus on prepping for what looks like a busy new release cycle this month. We're also excited to start spotlighting some of our favorite stories we've ever published as part of our 25th-anniversary celebration.
This week's content highlight is, naturally, our review of the Fujifilm X100VI (hint: we like it). We also launched our roundup of Firmware updates for major camera models.

 | | The Fujifilm X100VI is the sixth iteration of Fujifilm's classically-styled large sensor compact. A 40MP X-Trans sensor, in-body stabilization and 6.2K video are the major updates, but do they make the camera better? |
|
 | | We paired the Viltrox AF 40mm F2.5 with a Nikon Z7 and took photos from rain-soaked Seattle to the high desert of central Oregon. Check out our sample gallery to see how this inexpensive lens performed. |

 | | Peakto Search, a new plug-in for Lightroom Classic on macOS, uses AI tech to index your photos so you can perform searches across one or more catalogs using descriptive text prompts or visual similarity to other images. |
|
| Updates from Fujifilm, Nikon, Sony and Panasonic help expand their cameras' capabilities. |

|
| In honor of World Migratory Bird Day, we want to see your best bird photos. It's going to get stork raving mad, but moving with no egrets to present your im-peck-able best would be eggcellent. |

|
| Every week, we ask newsletter subscribers a question about gear, creativity or life. This week we looked back in time to ponder which classic cameras are overdue for a comeback. |
