In this era of rapid change, a year is a very long time in any industry and certainly a lot has happened in the imaging business over the last 12 months. For starters, it finally looks like we’re recovering from the multiple hits of the smartphone – which decimated the compact camera business – and the varied impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Economic uncertainties remain, but there are plenty of signs that our industry is looking at the future with more confidence. Well, how else do you explain the Sigma BF, Fujifilm’s X Half and the GFX100R, a few cameras with sharp-intake-of-breath price tags, and a near-deluge of more exotic or highly-specialized lenses.
