Canon's RF Rear Cap Finally Works Like the Old EF One
That RF rear cap has been annoying Canon shooters for years. One attachment position, easy to half-seat it in low light, guaranteed fumble during a fast lens swap. The new cap fixes exactly that, going back to the three-position design Canon used on EF glass. At $9 each it's a no-brainer to stock up. The BR-E2 remote is the more interesting accessory for video-leaning shooters: two customisable buttons, half-press focus, jog lever for power zoom, and multi-camera switching without re-pairing. If you're running a hybrid setup or shooting vertical content with Canon's creator ecosystem, that tripod grip and remote combo is worth a look. Small stuff. But the cap fix alone is the kind of thing that saves you a curse word mid-shoot.

Canon EOS R6 V and R6 III Get First Feature Firmware Updates
Canon has pushed firmware V1.10 for the EOS R6 V, adding flash support it promised at launch, though with real constraints: no mechanical shutter means sync tops out at 1/60 sec, and the hotshoe uses Canon's digital multi-function shoe only, no standard pins. The EOS R6 III gets a matching update adding BR-E2 remote support, gridlines during video recording, and the close-up demo AF mode across video modes rather than locked to a single restricted shooting mode.
