OM System just escaped private equity and handed control back to its CEO — genuinely good news if you're betting on Micro Four Thirds survival, since founders build and PE firms sell. Meanwhile, NASA's strapping a Nikon Z9 to Artemis II to stress-test mirrorless reliability in deep-space radiation, which is a pretty loud signal that mirrorless has earned its place even in the most hostile imaging conditions imaginable. On the practical side, if you're a Panasonic shooter, dump the old Lumix Sync app and move to Lumix Lab before it becomes completely obsolete. Also worth your time: Elliott Erwitt's rare colour Kodachrome archive finally got a proper book, and if you shoot portraits or weddings, Valenzuela's 21-point posing system remains one of the few frameworks that actually works instead of relying on vibes.
