This week, Chris, Jordan, and Jaron break down which four Sony Alpha cameras received new features via firmware update and, among those, which didn't get through that process without a few bumps in the road. Ricoh also announced a new GR III and it appears as though it will do anything to not release a GR IV. Tamron also brought its 28-75mm f/2.8 G2 Lens to Nikon Z this week, which has its own interesting ramifications, and the team then talks about photo printing and why you should do it.
