Sony ZV-E1 Leaked, AI Fraud in Photography, and 3 New Nikon Lenses: What You Actually Need to Know

I spend more time before 9am checking deal alerts and rumor sites than most people spend on social media all day.

I track deals and gear rumors the same way some people track stock prices - obsessively, before coffee, with a spreadsheet already open.
