As I look back on the year, there are five things that stand out. And I’m going to discuss each of them on today’s TDS Photography Podcast.

The specs seem almost too good to be true. The Nikon zoom has a focal length range of 28-400mm, yet it's compact and light.

Tune in to today's TDS Photography Podcast to find out. Plus an OM System Warning and ON1 Photo Raw 2024. I hope you enjoy the show.
