Leica Camera AG announced Leica LUX, a new iPhone camera app. Leica LUX features a Leica-inspired user interface, unique Leica Looks, and meticulously crafted simulations of legendary Leica lenses.
Leica announced that it acquired smartphone app startup Fjorden Electra to lead the development of the newly-announced Leica LUX app. While the acquisition is only being announced today, it closed in December 2023.
Canon has announced the RF 35mm F1.4 L VCM lens, the first release in what the company says will become a full series of fixed-focal-length RF lenses with a hybrid design for stills and video, which are intended to work with both EOS photo and Cinema EOS cameras.
Pentax announced a pair of new underwater, rugged cameras in the WG-1000 and WG-8. As the latest members of the company's WG series of all-weather cameras, they sport a rugged chassis and are waterproof, dustproof, and shock-resistant.
The Panasonic GH series has always been some of the best hybrid cameras ever made, and the new Lumix GH7 brings the best features of the GH6 and last year's G9 II together in a single body. It's basically a perfect camera for me as the sensor size is the only thing I consider a compromise.

The Panasonic Lumix DC-GH7 is the latest in Panasonic's line of high-end cameras historically aimed at video shooters. We say 'historically' because the GH7 makes a strong case for being a true photo-video hybrid. It includes flagship video features like internal ProRes RAW recording, 32-bit float audio, and 4K/120p capture, along with all the photography features found on Panasonic's more recent G9 II model.
Hot on the heels of announcing the full-frame Lumix S9 camera, Panasonic is showing its Micro Four Thirds Lumix G system some love with the new Panasonic Lumix GH7 camera.
