We close out 2025 with reflection, stillness, and stunning photography from our December Photo Contest winner and honourable mentions.

For those who’ve been waiting for the perfect time to upgrade since the Nikon Z5 II’s release nine months ago, that moment has arrived! Nikon has announced a brand-new trade-in program exclusively for the purchase of a Z5 II.

This morning, the company announced the NIKKOR Z 24-105mm f/4-7.1 lens, a versatile, budget-conscious companion for your Z series full-frame camera. Lightweight at just 350g with a focal range suitable for a wide range of subjects, it is designed to be your everyday lens. It features a quick, quiet stepping motor (STM) that delivers smooth autofocus for still and video recording. It is also equipped with a control ring that can be customized to adjust focus, aperture, exposure compensation or ISO sensitivity.
