  <title>Cameras and Lenses of the Year, 2018</title>
  <description>It is that time of year, when we chat about the cameras that have been announced in 2018 and toss in some commentary by our in-house experts. We also make time for our favorite new lenses and a few accessories and miscellaneous pieces of gear. At the end of the show, we’ll go around the room and offer our thoughts on each of our favorite cameras from this year. While we already touched upon the new  Canon and  Nikon mirrorless full-frame cameras in a  previous episode, we would be remiss if we didn’t acknowledge these big announcements at the top of the show. Other than these long-awaited announcements, 2018 was a comparatively quiet year for other manufacturers. Sony announced the  Alpha a7 III Mirrorless full-frame camera at the beginning of the year, and both the  RX100 VA and the  RX100 VI; Zeiss has everyone curious about its full-frame  ZX1 Digital Camera. Leica put out the  Leica Q-P Digital Camera along with  M10-D.&amp;amp;nbsp; Fujifilm bookended its year with two big announcements, the  Fujifilm X-H1 in February, and the  X-T3 later in the year—and added a few smaller X-series cameras, point-and-shoots, and the  Instax SQ6 Taylor Swift Edition along the way. Panasonic announced the  Lumix DC-GH5S as the update to the G5, and Olympus released the  PEN E-PL9. Several lenses were highlighted during the roundup episode, including the  Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di RXD Lens for Sony E and the  Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC CN lens. The  Zeiss Batis 40mm f/2 CF lens for Sony E also found favor, as did the  Sony FE 24mm f/1.4 GM lens and the  Rokinon 24mm f/2.8 AF lens.&amp;amp;nbsp; In addition to cameras and lenses, we spoke about new bags from  Lowepro and  Peak Design; lights from  Luxli and  Profoto; tripods by  Robus; and the  DJI Mavic 2 Pro and the  GoPro Hero 7. &amp;amp;nbsp; This really was an episode full of insightful gear talk, and we discussed a wide range of products; we hope you enjoy and that it will help with any gift-buying decisions you may be making.
