Insta360's X6 has launched with native 8K/50 video and in-camera Dolby Vision, while Leica has replaced the M11 with the EVF-only M EV1, dropping the optical rangefinder for the first time in the M line's 70-year history. Elsewhere, two women photographers have been sentenced to a combined 24 years in an Iranian prison over their photography work, and a run of photo-project features rounds out the day.
