Canon launched its Dual Pixel 3D imaging software in October 2026, letting users convert still photos into 3D models and videos without extra hardware. The tool depends on a camera's Dual Pixel CMOS AF sensor, limiting compatibility to select EOS R series bodies, and currently requires Windows 11 from 2024 or later. Output files are exportable as OBJ, GLB, or MP4.
CD Projekt Red has indicated that an upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 movie will not directly adapt the game's plot, but instead add new stories set within its world. The studio wants film and other media tie-ins to broaden the universe rather than lock in a single canonical version of events.
Several older DSLR and mirrorless cameras, including Canon's EOS 6D and Rebel T6, Nikon's D5300 and D750, and Sony's A5100, A7 II and RX100 IV, remain on manufacturer compatibility lists for webcam use. Setup typically involves installing the maker's webcam utility, connecting via USB, switching to video or remote mode, and selecting the camera within apps like Zoom, Teams or Google Meet.
A film photographer describes replacing a manual darkroom workflow—scanning negatives frame by frame and hand-editing each in darktable—with an automated pipeline using Claude to control a scanner via the SANE driver stack. An early attempt saw Claude invert the scanbed's X/Y directions, nearly damaging the scanner's gear mechanism, prompting the creator to rework the approach.
Nikon introduced the Z5 IIC, a $1,399.95 variant of its Z5 II full-frame camera, priced $450 lower than the original. It keeps the same 24.5-megapixel sensor, EXPEED 7 processor, in-body stabilization, and burst shooting speeds, but drops the electronic viewfinder, reduces the touchscreen resolution, cuts the dual card slots to one, and removes the joystick control.
Canon has launched the 24-megapixel EOS R8 II, an entry-level full-frame camera with a squared-off body inspired by its old EOS 650 film SLR, replacing the rounded look of the original R8. The update adds a joystick for autofocus point control, 40fps electronic shutter burst shooting, and Canon's first in-body 5-axis stabilization on this line, cutting shake by up to 7.5 stops while remaining the lightest full-frame stabilized camera at 546 grams.
Canon has unveiled the EOS R8 Mark II, a successor that finally adds in-body image stabilization, one of the biggest gaps in the 2023 original. The camera will launch in late October at $1,899 for the body alone, or $2,099 with a 24-50mm stabilized lens, positioning it between the original R8 and the pricier EOS R6 Mark III.
