We have a new podcast out today… part of our new series of podcasts that we aim to record every week, looking at the key launches that we have reported in the past seven days. Our team will give their candid, and sometimes controversial, views on these new announcements - debating the strengths, weaknesses, and controversies.
This week, Editor-in-Chief James Artaius, Managing Editor Adam Juniper join me to chat about the latest Sony rumor, a weird two-in-one drone from Hoverair, and the new viral phenomenon of hackers vibe coding their cameras so they can play old video games!

First up, with speculation building around a potential Sony A7S IV, we ask whether there’s still room for a dedicated video-focused A7 camera. With Sony’s FX line expanding and its hybrid cameras becoming increasingly capable, what would a new A7S actually need to do to stand out?
We also look at the HoverAir Versa, a pocket gimbal camera that sprouts wings and turns into a drone, alongside a waterproof drone and Ring’s new flying home security camera. Are drones finally getting interesting again?
Finally, we discuss the recent Hasselblad hacking controversy, after developers unlocked features including video recording that weren’t officially available before the project was shut down. If the hardware you bought is capable of doing more, should manufacturers be able to stop you unlocking it?
We’d love to hear your thoughts…
- Does Sony still need the A7S?
- What’s the strangest drone you’d actually buy?
- And should we be allowed to hack our own cameras?
Let us know in the comments below…
