Tony Northrup lists usability gripes with the Sony A7R VI: a 701-page menu system with no search, buffering that locks the camera mid-shoot, video files buried in non-standard folder structures, no Open Gate video mode, and missing GPS, wireless mic receiver, and device encryption. The camera has a 67MP sensor and 4K 120fps, but Northrup argues the workflow experience hasn't kept pace. Sponsored content with a Squarespace promo baked in.

GoPro, DJI, Insta360 Patent Wars: Where Things Stand
GoPro's ITC complaint against Insta360 closed in February 2026 with a limited design patent win, but all five utility patents covering stabilisation and horizon levelling were ruled invalid or not infringed.
