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 Fires Out Firmware for R3, R6 II, R8, R10, R50 V and PowerShot V1
Canon is clearly doing a full-fleet firmware sweep right now, and if you're on any of these six bodies you should be checking for updates before you walk out the door. The R3 and R6 Mark II updates in particular are worth attention given how widely those bodies get used on commercial and event work. Canon's run of clean rollouts recently means there's no reason to sit on these.
