Nikon ZR Video Beast Launches, Third-Party Glass Undercuts Native Pricing, DJI Compact Announcement Incoming, Sony 100-400 GM II Leaks

Meanwhile DJI is teasing something small and May 7 is close enough that you'd be silly to pull the trigger on a compact drone before then. Quiet on the news side, loud on the gear side.
