FULL STEAM AHEAD FOR NAB.

And they’re not done yet. Today and tomorrow will surely have more announcements to come, but we’re checking in mid-show to share some of the coolest things we’ve seen so far.

Camera gear aside, we’ve got some bonus distractions and diversions for you to enjoy; like this video on the benefits of working with a timer, full details on the Nintendo Switch 2, an ODESZA remix of the Severance soundtrack, and plenty more.

Thanks for being here. Dive in, get lost, and enjoy.

THE RUNDOWN:

1. FULL STEAM AHEAD FOR NAB.

2. PULSE CHECK

3. OFF-SCRIPT

4. DON’T FORGET TO…*

PULSE CHECK

Pulse Check is our way of keeping a finger on the heartbeat of the creative industry. Everything from breaking news to announcements or videos that might have slipped under the radar, this curated list will keep you in the know.

• The latest update on Fuji’s cinema camera reveals that there are no XLR jacks or audio inputs in the body of the camera.

• The Nikon Z5 II looks to be the new full-frame value camera to beat; photographer Chris Tellez has an excellent first impression video showcasing it.

• Blackmagic’s new PYXIS 12K got a 32% price increase in a matter of days due to US tariffs.

• Blaine Westropp put the new NiSi AUREUS lenses through their paces in this beautiful highlight video.

OFF-SCRIPT

Every now and then, it feels good to get lost down a few rabbit holes. Off-Script is our catch-all for exactly that; a random assortment of objects, products, music, books, tools, and inspiration we’re finding in our day-to-day.

• Are you a self-employed artist? Here’s why you need a kitchen timer in your life.

• The Nintendo Switch 2 looks promising, but the pricing leaves a big question mark.

• An ODESZA remix of the Severance soundtrack? Refine away, friends.

• Even if you don’t carry business cards anymore, this card holder might just convince you to print some of those bad boys out.
