Film's back on the menu — Kodak just dropped six new Ektacolor and Ektapan stocks that could actually matter for portrait and available-light work, with the Ektacolor Pro 800 potentially replacing Portra 800 as the go-to compromise choice. Panasonic's officially confirmed new Micro Four Thirds gear and floated an LX100 III, which signals the format isn't quietly dying and gives MFT shooters real reason to stick with the GH6 and G9 II ecosystem. Sony's confirmed a major full-frame E-mount body dropping in May, so if you're thinking about upgrading, wait — the announcement alone will reshape the used market and trade-in windows. On the gear front, Nikon Europe just handed Z-mount shooters a genuine ownership advantage with five free years of lens warranty, and Gitzo's 50% off the GT3543XLS because tripod sales actually happen. Meanwhile, Tamron's hiking prices soon, so if you've been eyeing their zooms over Sony G or Canon L glass, the budget math is about to change.
