This week, we saw the announcement of the Nikon Zf, a retro-styled camera similar (but with better features) than the Nikon Z6ii. We’ll also discuss a new lossy image format, HEIF, which can be significantly better than JPEG if your editing tools support it.

We’ll also have a special bonus show this week where we’ll share images from the trip.
