AMD 9950X3D2 CPU benchmarks have leaked with air cooling:

Cinebench R23:

These leaks should be considered provisional and may not represent the true potential of this chip.
The addition of a variable aperture to the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max marks a significant shift from the fixed-aperture systems Apple has used for years. In practical terms, this means the camera can physically adjust its opening to suit different environments, much like a professional mirrorless camera. In bright daylight, the lens can “stop down” (shrink) to prevent overexposure and capture landscapes with more sharpness and a deeper depth of field. Conversely, in low-light settings, the aperture can open wide to pull in more light, resulting in cleaner, brighter photos with less digital noise. It’s not clear how much compromise to the image resulted from having a fixed aperture, but I guess we will find out.
The other hope I have is this means more optical zoom.
The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is out soon and this a camera we’ve been waiting for. Having owned and loved the Pocket 3, I have to say that the launch of the Pocket 4 is bittersweet. It is better, but not so much better we’d tell owners of the 3 to upgrade 4. It’s an iterative improvement. Better low light, dynamic range, and slow motion. But in a lot of contexts the footage will look similar or the same. I guess I was hoping for a bit more, enough to make owners of the 3 feel a strong desire to upgrade. The 4 is objectively better but don’t feel you have to get it. The 3 remains an amazing camera.
Key features:
If you can live with the wide focal length this might be the only camera you need for certain video purposes.
We’re a big fan of Fosi. While they’re not perfect, they’ve certainly brought quality products to the audio market and reasonable price and created competition.
If you want an audio box without a screen for local and online streaming with a 2.1 speaker system this is a great value option at only $259. Fosi’s app is also quite decent and what you will be using as the main control.
We’re hoping that this 25th anniversary product launch year for Panasonic will come with some impressive new cameras.
We’re seeing rumors float around about a Panasonic S5 III, S9 II, S1H II, and even a LX100 III. We would love to see any and all of these. Panasonic brought innovation and uniqueness to the camera market, especially on the video front.
However, we don’t confirmation of ANY of these rumors yet.
It’s nice to see competition for DJI in the drone space. The dual lens system is really a great idea which allows the operator to focus less on framing and more on flying. This drone has dropped already from $1600 to $1280 which perhaps indicates some difficulties for the company. It’s hard to enter a competing space against solid and mature offerings. Another nice feature is that when using the standard batter you’re able to stay under 249g. Initial reviews seem promosing.

The MFT offering is interesting (although keep in mind this is like the smaller sensor on the BMPCC). Ordering should be available in May.
A camera with the reference number FF260001 is under development. There is some rumors that this is the X-T6 and will be announced in summer.
This however is not confirmed. We will continue to keep everyone updated with any additional information that comes in.
There is a shortage Mac Minis and Mac Studios, especially those with larger RAM configurations. Sometimes Apple stops producing the current models when new models are around the corner. Or, this could just be a result of demand and the global RAM shortage. Either way, there are a few indications that the Mac Studio models featuring the M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips could be announced in June (and released shortly after) with the updated Mac Minis likely coming in the fall.
The MacBook Neo 2 is already in development and it includes 50% more ram. Thus we’d firmly say that if you want the Neo wait if you can.
