Blackmagic just made the strongest case yet to ditch your Lightroom subscription — DaVinci Resolve 21's new Photo page brings Hollywood-grade color tools and RAW processing to a free, subscription-free application, and native Affinity file support means you can stop destroying files in format conversions. Meanwhile, GoPro's entered the interchangeable lens game with an MFT-mount 8K body that's basically a rugged, pocketable cinema camera, while Insta360 appears to be building an MFT mirrorless too. On the regulatory front, the FAA rolled back sketchy no-fly zones that had been blocking press drones from government activity, but DJI's US market access is quietly ending — the Osmo Pocket 4 is officially blocked and the Lito may be the last DJI product to get approved stateside, so if you rely on DJI gear, now's the time to buy. Arri changed hands to German entrepreneur Thomas Riedel, which matters less for what it is and more for what it signals about where cinema-tier camera development heads next.
