Friday, January 14, 2022 • Duration 01:01:20

It’s the first Photography News podcast of 2022 and we’re back with a bang as we discuss recent developments from Canon that could signal the beginning of the end for DSLRs.

Why has it happened? What does it mean for the rest of the range? Will Nikon follow suit? Which DSLR features will we miss? We answer all these questions and more.

Elsewhere on the podcast, Kingsley believes he’s come up with a new photographic invention, Will has a frustrating trip to the coast, but inadvertently sets a world record and Roger explains which photographic-related gift proved to be a big hit at Christmas.
