Underwater camera housing manufacturer Nauticam has released a housing for the Nikon mirrorless camera. DJI has released a new Osmo gimbal called the Osmo Pocket. Tumblr has announced all adult content will be removed from the site by December 17th. Photokina 2019 has been cancelled and will become an annual event beginning 2020.
The Holidays are right around the corner, and the Fotobug guys have some suggestions for the photographer in your life (or maybe even for yourself!).
