Adobe's actually solved a real problem with Lightroom's new AI culling — if you shoot bursts, this saves the hour you'd normally waste deleting blinks before real editing starts. The bigger AI win this week though isn't in Lightroom; it's desktop agents handling file chaos, which is where AI has genuinely earned its hype. Panasonic's ZS300 compact is a letdown if you were hoping to upgrade from the ZS200, so hold your cash. Mandler's Leica M 35mm seven-element restock is worth eyeballing if you want that swirly Summicron character without the vintage price tag, though this is a reissue test, not new news. And Fujifilm's X-T6 registration filing is about as exciting as paperwork sounds — the camera's coming eventually, but don't expect it to matter until there's actual metal to hold.
