Filled with gleaming red classic cars, Haynes Motor Museum's iconic Red Room will provide a dramatic backdrop this September as part of the LCE Photo Show 2026 – a major new photography and videography event taking place in Somerset, England.

The one-day celebration of photography, video and content creation brings together leading brands, industry experts and hands-on demos of the latest gear.

Affordable early access is on offer, with the event taking place on September 12 2026 at the larger Somerset venue following the success of last year's South West show in Exeter. Earlybird tickets are £5, with £10 tickets available on the door – both can be put towards purchases made at the show.

LCE Photo Show 2026

A packed programme of learning and live experience includes hands-on demos, opportunities to try the latest cameras, lenses and filmmaking gear with brand specialists, plus expert seminars, roundtable discussions and practical demonstrations covering lighting and portraiture.

Confirmed industry speakers include leading creators Gavin Hoey and Amy Shore, with further names to be announced ahead of the event.

Major camera brands will be on site, including Fujifilm, Canon, Nikon, Sony, OM System, Sigma and Tamron, offering direct access to the latest equipment, show-only deals and hands-on opportunities for photographers and filmmakers.

There are camera fairs, and then there's Bièvres. Now in its 62nd year, the Foire Internationale de la Photo at Bièvres, France, is the kind of event that serious photographers put in their calendars every January, but might not tell too many people about. Word gets around anyway: visitors now come from across Europe and beyond, all united by their love of cameras and photography.

The setup is straightforward enough. On June 6-7, 2026, the small Essonne commune of Bièvres, 20km south of Paris, becomes the capital of photography for a weekend. Entry is free, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the range of what's on offer is quite extraordinary.

The market: where the real action is

For most visitors, the secondhand and antique photography market is the main event. Stallholders range from serious specialist dealers to enthusiastic collectors clearing out a spare room, and the gap between those two ends of the spectrum is where the real bargains tend to hide. This is the place to spend a Saturday afternoon turning over wooden field cameras, peering through the viewfinders of vintage Leicas, haggling over a job lot of expired film, or discovering a print process you'd never heard of before.

The sheer variety is part of the pleasure. It's not just cameras and lenses, though there are plenty of those. You'll also find advertising materials, travel photographs, family albums, cinema equipment, darkroom supplies and more here. It's photography in the broadest sense, treated as both a technical practice and a cultural artefact.

Alongside the secondhand market, a new equipment and services market brings together camera brands, film suppliers, printers and other industry players showing their latest offerings. Whether you're after a new roll film scanner or just want to stock up on darkroom paper, it's worth a walk through.

The artists' market, meanwhile, adds another dimension entirely. This is where photographers sell and show their own work, and on Sunday morning a jury, chaired this year by Bruno Dubreuil, art critic, exhibition curator and professor of photography and art history, will visit each booth. Awards are presented on Sunday afternoon, which gives the whole thing a fun, competitive edge.

Guest of honor: Jean-Christophe Béchet

Each year the fair invites a significant photographer to show work across the town, and in 2026 that honour goes to Jean-Christophe Béchet, who's lived and worked in Paris since 1990. His practice is notably restless: black-and-white and color, film and digital, 35mm and medium format, Polaroid and what he calls "photographic accidents". He's interested less in mastering a single tool than in finding the right one for each project.

Béchet will be showing two exhibitions. At the recently renovated Grange aux Fraises, Savage Materiality explores photography as a physical, tactile medium. "I have always loved fragile, random photographs," he says. "Those that blend technique and improvisation, the precision of framing and the freedom of light. Not obeying the rules but knowing them in order to bend them, to subject them to one's imagination." The photograph, he suggests, becomes through the developed print "an art of materiality": something more object than image.

His second exhibition, Macadam Colour, at the Maison des Photographes et de l'Image, brings together 30 years of color street photography. Covering architecture and human behaviour, the built environment and the people who inhabit it, it's a body of work that captures, as the fair puts it, "the spirit of an era and the identity of a place".

Talks and workshops 

The Bièvres Encounters programme runs across both days, with talks and presentations from photographers including François Abbe, Thierry Chantegret, Laura Bonnefous, Eric Delamarre and José Nicolas, alongside specialists in technique, equipment and travel photography. Each session includes a Q&A.

Juste un Labo will be running a mobile darkroom on site, with black-and-white development and printing workshops every two hours, a Saturday portrait session using a box camera, and a Sunday photowalk. Booking is recommended at justeunlabo.fr/bievres from 7 May.

There's also a pop-up studio on the Sunday, run by Photoclub members with support from AllPages Epson Photo Expert, where you can leave with a free professional print. And if you'd like to take something of the fair's history home with you, there's a canvas tote bag featuring the poster from the 1973 fair, available for €8.

Bièvres is 20km from central Paris and 17km from the Porte d'Orléans, accessible via the A6/A10 or the D-906. Free parking is available on Saturday afternoon and Sunday at the Burospace site, with free shuttle buses running to the fair. It's also reachable by RER C. The fair runs on Saturday June 6 from 1pm to 7pm and Sunday June 7 from 8am to 6pm. Entry is free throughout. Full programme and details at foirephoto-bievre.com.

The Photography & Video Show is in full swing with all the biggest names in the world of photo, video, and content creation showing off their latest gear. Canon has some pretty incredible VR tech, you can try Fujifilm’s GFX Eterna medium format cinema camera, and Loawa has some crazy magnification macro probe lenses – but my highlight is already Samsung’s Creator Playground.

The Creator Playground is always a regular attraction at the show, but this year it’s bigger and better than ever, with an entire globetrotting photo experience, and even a quick trip into outer space – take that Katy Perry.

Starting off in Europe, the trail kicks off in my home city of London, where you can pop into one of the city’s iconic red phone boxes. After that, take a quick bike tour through the orange groves of Spain before heading further through the Mediterranean, and living your own Mamma Mia fantasies on your private Greek island.

Next, it's a quick hop over to the Americas. Wrap up warm for some tobogganing while the snow falls in Canada, throw down some chips in Las Vegas, before finishing in Mexico for some Day of the Dead celebrations.

A quick visit to Asia lets you head through India on a rickshaw before ending up in South Korea for some noodles under fluorescent lights.

Head next to the Middle East and a Moroccan tea house, before heading over to Africa and taking your jeep out on safari, where you can tick off two of the big five. Finish your world tour down under in a tropical paradise before hitting up an Australian BBQ.

Finally, suit up and blast off into outer space!

If you want to go and create some content in the Creator Playground, head along to The Photography & Video Show at the NEC in Birmingham and have a play. For more information and tickets, visit the official website.

It's as rare as the proverbial rocking horse poop, but the Ricoh GR IV Monochrome is on the show floor at The Photography & Video Show – open now until Tuesday March 17 at the NEC in Birmingham, England.

Launched in January, and technically on sale in mid-February, the street-oriented compact camera has been such a hit that some pre-orders won't be delivered until June. But if you make the trip to the NEC, you can try the camera for yourself at the Ricoh Pentax stand (C100).

As a big fan of cameras for black-and-white photography, I've been super excited to get my hands on the GR IV Monochrome – which, in case you missed it, takes the streetwise experience of the standard Ricoh GR IV but replaces the color sensor with a 25.74MP mono sensor.

By omitting the color filter array, and removing the interpolation process used to render a full-color image, the sensor delivers incredible clarity and micro-contrast – and also promises great performance at higher ISO sensitivities.

The compromise is that there is less headroom for exposing highlights, so you'll need to beware clipping if you're not used to shooting with an exclusively black-and-white sensor.

Because the camera I "liberated" from the Ricoh stand was a pre-production model, I can't share the images from my initial test. But I used it for typically GR run-and-gun reportage shots and was impressed with the tones and rendering produced by this camera.

Having spent a lot of time with the far larger and far more expensive Leica Q3 Monochrom, I have to say that I actually prefer the depth of the blacks and the overall punchiness of the Ricoh.

Of course, you can judge for yourself if you try the camera out at The Photography & Video Show – which is open today until Tuesday March 17 at the NEC in Birmingham. For tickets and more information, visit The Photography & Video Show website.

I've not always worked at Digital Camera World; before that I published books about photography, and shot video with flying cameras. That means I've never left the photography scene, and I've attended photo trade shows in New York, Germany, and more. But the best moment is always the opening of the show we still affectionately call "TPS."

These days it's "The Photography and Video Show," and, as a journalist, my role is more about meeting people, but way back I was also an exhibitor. When I worked for a well-known print publisher, I brought hundreds of books in boxes from offices in Brighton, and colleagues of mine and I would rush in and out of the hall, putting up display boards we'd just had printed, carefully arranging leaflets detailing our special show offers, and generally.

It's fun to be an exhibitor because it changes the work patterns, and because you get to meet your customers face-to-face. And that makes you a better business person – I honestly think that, as a publisher, I helped produce better books because I met so many photographers in real life. Professional, enthusiast, beginner, and many who only concentrate on social.

There is also one magical moment at the show, given an extra bit of spice this year as the show returns to its "spiritual home" – Hall 5 of the NEC. The countdown.

Those of us lucky enough to be involved in the running of the show, or the running of a stand, are inside the hall as it happens, while the arriving photographers can wait in a lobby.

There is a giant screen above the entrance, offering glimpses to the waiting visitors of the hall they're about to get into, but, unlike a football stadium, they're not stuck in the same place when the whistle goes.

When the timer counts down, the gateway between the industry and the people that give life to that industry is taken away. People flood into the room.

The atmosphere is electric. People are grabbing deals. Chatting. Looking at things they wouldn't usually look at.

As I stood there capturing this video with a 360-degree camera people waved, some remembered me from the past.

It's not too late to be part of The Photography and Video Show 2026 this year, either as the four-day exhibition continues until Tuesday.

The Disabled Photographers' Society has a packed stand at this year's Photography & Video Show full of brilliant secondhand bargains. The charity has been building up donations of unwanted photographic kit for over a year, ready for this giant photographic jumble sale

Offers we saw in previous shows included offers on memory cards, forests of old tripods, stacks of darkroom processing trays, and masses of great camera memorabilia from both the film and digital eras alike.

I have found some great treasures on this stand in the last decade since the Show began. A giant professional Poloroid camera once designed for taking passport photos sits on my shelf at home – and my £300 Sony A6000 with zoom, is often in my backpack as my affordable alternative to the trendy Fujifilm X100VI.

But it is not just about buying - the stand is also about giving. Every year I take carrier bag or two of books, accessories and other photographic bits and bobs I no longer need for the charity to sell at the Show.

Why not do your bit for this great charity by bringing your own donations to the show? Simply look out any bits of unwanted photo gear you have around the house and bring it with you. You can then drop it off at the Disabled Photographers' Society's stand when you arrive at the NEC.

They will willingly take any old camera or lens that you have lying around, or tucked at the back of the cupboard, as long as it is still in working order. But they will also be just as grateful for old cables, filters, darkroom gear, bags and other photo paraphernalia. The DPS are also interested in taking your unwanted photographic books too! The stand is one of the must-visit features of the show... a fantastic photo bric-a-brac stall that you will love to rummage through to find something interesting to buy!

The stand number is A21 – so bring your bags full of donations when you get to the show.

The Disabled Photographers' Society has been running for over 50 years. The charity has developed a broad knowledge of various ways to make photography accessible to people with a wide variety of disabilities. Often with a few simple modifications, the experts at the DPS can open up a whole new world of possibilities to those who would otherwise struggle to operate a camera. The Society is run by a team of dedicated volunteers, most of whom are disabled photographers themselves. 

The Photography Show runs across four days from Saturday to Tuesday March 14-17 at the NEC in Birmingham. For full details and schedules of talks, see the The Photography & Video Show website.

Canon Ambassador Helen Bartlett will be one of the speakers on the Canon Spotlight Stage, which will host a compelling line-up of speakers over the four days of the show.

There really will be something for everyone, whether you're a beginner or a pro or whether you like to shoot weddings, wildlife… or families.

Helen Bartlett is one of the UK’s leading family photographers, and is the only family photographer to be on Canon's ambassador programme, so if you want to discover more about this genre of photography, you couldn't wish for a better speaker.

Having taken up photography at the age of eight, Helen started earning an income from photography when she was a teenager.

Her mother ran a nursery school in the basement of the family home and, as a summer job, Helen would take photos of the children.

Selling their parents' handmade black-and-white prints gave her an early taste of creating and selling photographs, so after studying history at university, she decided to make photography her career.

Since then, Helen has gone on to become a leading family photographer. Shooting exclusively in black and white, she specialises in documenting the essence of childhood, capturing tender scenes created to resonate with her clients.

Ahead of her 'Seeing the Story: A Creative Approach to Family Photography' talk at The Photography & Video Show 2026, we asked her about her practice, and her long-term commitment to black and white…

If you've been eyeing a brilliant compact camera to capture your next street story or travel adventure, the Ricoh GR IV has likely been on your radar.

One of the most anticipated compact cameras of 2025, it has even overtaken mirrorless rivals in sales in Japan and has been recognized with honors like the 2025 Good Design Award.

So yes – it's a great choice. But if you've never worked with a Ricoh GR model before, you might want to try it first. Luckily, The Photography & Video Show 2026 offers exactly that opportunity.

The show isn't just about talks and workshops; it offers hands-on photo walks designed to slow things down, ask questions and learn directly from industry experts in small, focused groups.

On every day of the show, from March 14-17 in Birmingham, you can join a Ricoh GR IV Photo Walk with photography tutor Daniel Bridge – the perfect chance to find out if the GR IV is the camera for you.

The Ricoh GR IV

The GR IV is a thoughtfully redesigned evolution of Ricoh's iconic GR series. Its 25.74MP backside-illuminated sensor and 18.3mm f/2.8 lens (28mm equivalent) deliver sharp, detailed images in a discreet, pocketable body.

The GR IV balances speed, usability and image quality, staying true to its legacy while incorporating subtle refinements that make shooting effortless. With familiar, intuitive controls and a minimalist design philosophy, it's perfect for street photography, travel or everyday shooting.

The Photo Walk

Discover the creative potential of the Ricoh GR on this one‑hour photo walk at The Photography & Video Show, led by expert photography tutor Daniel Bridge.

Becoming a professional nature photographer is no easy feat. You don’t just need an eye for a beautiful landscape or a striking wildlife scene, you also need to be business savvy.

The most successful nature photographers in the world are the ones who manage this balancing act well and, in fact, it doesn’t matter which photography niche you specialize in, you need to get this right to make a living from the craft.

Fortunately, The Photography & Video Show is just a week away with a schedule jam-packed with professionals ready and willing to share their wisdom on how to master capturing light, but also in ensuring you make enough money to keep the lights on at home.

While there are numerous speakers I could recommend, I’m most excited to hear Bella Falk, an accomplished wildlife and travel photographer who’s diversified her income across several photography-related streams, and Charlie Waite, the renowned landscape photographer with a unique creative style.

Charlie Waite

Speaking on Saturday 14 March | 12:00 – 13:00 | Fundamentals Stage

Bella Falk

Speaking on Tuesday March 17 | 13:00 – 13:45 | Canon Spotlight stage

Bella Falk has an excellent eye for wildlife and travel photos, but also for shifting trends. As a BBC and National Geographic-published photographer and writer, not only is she a versatile creative, but she proves the importance of diversifying your skillset in today’s landscape.

Becoming a self-employed photographer means embarking on the uncertain path of entrepreneurialism, and Bella’s tips will give you a leg up along the way.

Bella’s advice will be balanced nicely by what Charlie Waite has to say. Waite is an acclaimed landscape photographer who, during a career spanning over 40 years, has won numerous accolades including fellowships to the Royal Photographic Society and the British Institute of Professional Photography.

He has tons of wisdom to share at the Show, and I’m most excited to learn about how he approaches shooting a scene and how he developed his instantly recognizable “painterly” style.

If you’re serious about making nature photography your living, Bella and Charlie will help you understand both sides of the professional coin.

Head to The Photography & Video Show website to get your ticket and come along to the biggest photography event in the UK. The four-day show runs Saturday 14 to Tuesday 17 March at the NEC in Birmingham, and doors open 10am each day.

Canon’s stand (E80, D91) at The Photography & Video Show is always a highlight, and this year is shaping up to be no different. From Saturday, March 14 to Tuesday 17 at the NEC, Birmingham, you can immerse yourself in all the Canony goodness you can handle, including hands-on experiences with the latest Canon cameras and lenses, live demos and expert guidance, and inspiring talks from professional photographers.

No matter your flavour of photography, there’s something for everyone, from the content-creator-focused Canon EOS R50 V, the high-speed, full-frame, midrange monster that is the Canon EOS R6 Mark III, to the powerful run-and-gun cinema camera that is the Canon EOS C50. And of course, all the lovely RF lenses you could ever want to play with. Plus, the chance to capture a real-world scenario, thanks to a dynamic, live-shooting experience in the form of a Japanese martial arts kata.

The stand will even include an immersive underwater virtual reality experience. This is due to Canon’s partnership with a pioneering coral breeding lab, along with Coral Spawning International and Nature Seychelles, which seeks to boost reef regeneration efforts. The VR experience is designed to highlight the plight that coral reefs face, demonstrate how imaging tech is helping marine biologists in their quest to turn the tide, and showcase the expansive creative possibilities of the EOS VR system.

In addition to showcasing its renowned product line-up, where you can try out the latest and greatest Nikon kit for yourself, and hosting a series of inspirational talks covering all things photography and videography, there will be an all-new Nikon ZR cinema room, guided photo walks, and your chance to win a Nikon camera and lens, just by stopping by the stand!

1. Try out the latest Nikon gear
The show is your chance to get hands-on with the full Z series range, from the flagship Z9 to Nikon’s latest full-frame mirrorless camera, the Z5 II. Nikon will also debut its newest video-first innovations, including Nikon’s first cinematic camera, the ZR, the Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II, and the newly announced Z 70-200mm f/2.8 S II, which will be on show for the very first time!

Joining them on stage will be numerous Nikon Creators, including Street photographer Lucy Hamdizadeh, Wedding photographer Gurvir Johal, and Wildlife photographer Rachel Bigsby, who will each share inspiring stories from their creative journeys and recent projects.

Nikon School trainers Neil Freeman and Ricci Chera will also take to the stage throughout the show, delivering a series of informative talks on various photography topics designed to educate and inspire photographers of all skill levels.

With more than 15,000 members, SheClicks has become one of the most influential UK networks for female photographers and shooters who identify as women.

And the women-led photography community is returning to The Photography & Video Show 2026 – you can say hello at stand C66 or watch the SheClicks Awards live on March 14 from 14:00 on the Analogue Stage.

This year's stand is – again – a welcoming space for women to connect, ask questions, and feel part of something bigger.

A safe space in a big industry

Founded by photography journalist Angela Nicholson, SheClicks was created to offer something many women felt was missing: a friendly, supportive environment where photographers of all levels could share work, get technical advice, and celebrate achievements without judgment.

"Support is at the heart of SheClicks," says Nicholson. "It's about having a friendly space where you can ask questions without feeling that you shouldn't be asking them – and connecting with like-minded photographers."

The SheClicks stand acts as a meeting point: somewhere to pause, chat, and meet fellow photographers face-to-face.

Why to visit and join SheClicks at the show

1. A supportive space to ask anything

No question is "too basic." No achievement is "too small."

Members range from beginners to experienced photographers, with many who shoot regularly for pleasure, growth and creative expression.

At SheClicks, the atmosphere is built around encouragement, not ego. It's a space where curiosity is welcomed.

2. Useful advice from women

SheClick supports photographers across every genre – but what makes it different is perspective.

The technical advice shared is grounded in real-world use by women. It's about what works and not just what's trending.

3. Step outside your comfort zone

Growth rarely happens inside your comfort zone.

SheClicks actively encourages members to enter competitions, submit images to magazines, or finally share their work more publicly.

Seeing other members stepping out of their comfort zone makes it less intimidating to try yourself.

4. Finding friends in the real-world

SheClicks began online, but it doesn't stay there.

The community organizes free meetups across the UK, from park photo walks to National Trust visits. There are also webinars, workshops and even international photography trips.

It's more than improving your photographic skills. It's about finding creative friendships.

5. Getting inspired through like-minded people

Photography is personal. It's how you see the world – being surrounded by people who understand that – who get excited about new ideas, composition, or light – is energizing.

The SheClicks experience is centered around photography, but the real magic often happens in conversations. Ideas spark. Confidence builds. Inspiration multiples.

The Photography & Video Show 2026 is coming to the Birmingham National Exhibition Centre in just a few short weeks, and to help ramp up the excitement, the organizers are giving away a Canon EOS R8 bundle, Canon EOS R50 V Creator Kit, and Canon Selphy QX20 printer in our free prize draw! All you need to do is supply your email address to be in with a chance of winning these fabulous prizes.

The top prize is a bundle of a Canon EOS R8 camera, Canon RF 24-50mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM lens, and Pixma PRO-200S professional photo printer, worth £2,289.99.

The runner-up takes home a Creator Kit comprising a Canon EOS R50 V vlogging camera and Canon RF-S 14-30mm f/4-6.3 IS STM PZ, along with a couple of accessories, which would normally set you back £999.99.

And the third prize isn't to be sniffed at either, with the winner claiming a Canon Selphy QX20 instant printer, which retails at £124.99.

We said of the Canon EOS R8: "The Canon EOS R8 kind of does it all. Whatever your photographic medium, this camera can shoot it. The R8 does not scrimp on the technology, using the same sensor and processor as the R6 Mark II, with the latest subject recognition and tracking, 24.2MP images, ISO all the way up to 102400, and that blistering 40 frames per second shooting speed."

We were equally enthusiastic about the Canon RF 24-50mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM: "Full-frame compatible zoom lenses don’t get any smaller than this, and while it doesn’t stretch into telephoto territory, wide-angle and standard focal lengths are covered in style, complete with effective optical stabilization and snappy, near-silent autofocus. It’s a lens that truly punches above its weight."

Our five-star review of the Canon Pixma Pro-200S concluded: "For vibrant color photo prints on glossy and luster paper, there’s no beating the Canon Pixma Pro-200S, and it’s great for glossy black-and-white photos as well. When you want a bit of gloss, this is the perfect printer with quality that shines through. And it’s a bit of a speed demon to boot."

Our summary of the EOS R50 V and RF-S 14-30mm, which are central to the Creator Kit, went: "Invest in the Canon EOS R50 V, and you're not just arming yourself to create great content today – you're arming yourself with pro-level tools that will grow with you as your skills, reach, and monetization mature. Make sure you pick up the RF-S 14-30mm Power Zoom with it – these two are absolutely perfect dance partners."

Our reviewer of the Canon Selphy QX20 gushed: "I like the convenience and quality of the Canon Selphy QX20 printer. It’s great being able to print physical photo prints anywhere and everywhere, in less than a minute. It’s also very nice being able to share real prints with family and friends at special events."

So what are you waiting for – it takes just a couple of minutes to show your interest, and you could win some brilliant prizes!

Enter now to be in with the chance of winning!

MWC 2026 has kicked off! As one of the most significant events in the mobile phone industry, MWC traditionally showcases a vast array of new handsets, all vying for the title of best camera phone.

We already previewed several new devices featured at this year's exhibition, held in the vibrant city of Barcelona (and a few that might be launched at competing events). However, with the show doors now open, there are plenty more surprises as manufacturers offer peeks of their latest innovations.

What is MWC 2026?  

MWC stands for Mobile World Congress, and is the world's largest expo on the mobile industry. It's also where a lot of big-name phone brands debut their latest products, as well as teasing concept devices for the future.

MWC was first held in 1987 in Brussels, switching cities every year, before settling in Barcelona's Fira de Barcelona since 2008. The event is organized by the GSMA, the global industry association, first formed in 1995 to promote the first 2G GSM digital phones. In 2025, MWC attracted over 109,500 visitors to its exhibition halls from all around the globe. There have also been additional MWC spin-off shows in Shanghai, Kigali, and Las Vegas.

When is MWC 2026?

MWC 2026 takes place in Barcelona from Monday, March 2, to Thursday, March 5. The halls are open to visitors from 8.30am to 7pm on the first three days, and from 8.30am to 4pm on the final day.

But there will be lots of speeches from leading industry figures. Many of the sessions will be centered on the themes of the 5G and 6G, eSIM, mobile security, the Internet of Things, and, of course, Gen AI. As ever, the keynotes and industry sessions will discuss how cellular technology can be used in much, much more than just our phones.

What to expect at MWC 2026

Thanks to the ever-churning rumor mill and the inevitable teasers from the key manufacturers, we already had a pretty good idea what the highlights will be at this year's expo.

Most of the biggest names in the industry will be there, although Apple and Samsung are the two notable handset manufacturers who do not reveal new products at MWC – but this year, both have their own rival events to steal the MWC spotlight.

Apple at MWC 2026

Like every other year, Apple has no plans to directly take part in MWC 2026 – but – that doesn't mean it doesn't have plans to hijack the entire event with its own events throughout the week.

Apple has unveiled its first devices of the week with a new iPhone 17e – Apple's cheapest way into the iPhone ecosystem – which brings a new processor, MagSafe support, and double the base storage. Full details below.

However, Apple isn't done yet, with at least one more reveal due later this week. Not much is known about what exactly Apple has up its sleeve, but there are rumors abound that it has been gestating its first foldable iPhone for some time now, and might finally be ready to show the world. Apple's entry into the foldable market would certainly be monumental for the industry and surely catapult the foldable category into the mainstream.

Honor at MWC 2026

Fresh off becoming the fastest-growing smartphone brand in 2025, Honor has plenty of big announcements at MWC to keep the momentum going.

Honor has replaced its flagship folding phone a little earlier than expected. The Honor Magic V6 is set to take over from the Honor Magic V5, which was only launched around six months ago. Honor clearly sees foldables as a category it can stake a claim in. There is a new 200MP camera system borrowed from the Honor Magic 8 Pro, an improved 7,000mAh+ battery, and the latest Qualcomm chip.

Honor has also been teasing its Honor Robot concept gimbal camera device for the last few months, and we've now seen it up close at MWC. With Insta360 and Vivo set to enter the gimbal camera market that is currently dominated by DJI's Osmo Pocket 3, Honor's concept device comes at an exciting time, although it's still unclear if it become a mass-market reality.

Leica at MWC 2026

Leica is a suprise addition to this years MWC. We might be used to co-designing Xiaomi cameras, but this year it has a phone all of it's own. Leica is bringing it's previous Japanese exclusive Leitzphone line of phones to more markets.

The new 'Leica Leitzphone powered by Xiaomi' is Leica's interpretation of the 'Xiaomi 17 Ultra by Leica', with a more Leica-centric design in line with thier cameras, a rotatable lens ring, and some classic Leica camera and lens emulation in the camera app. Read the full story below.

Nothing at MWC 2026

Nothing has its press conference booked in for March 5 at 10.30am GMT (05.30am EST / 02.30am PST) – although it is skipping the halls of MWC and heading to Nothing's home city of London for the announcement.

Nothing has already teased the Phone (4a) with Nothing's unique signature transparent design and brand new pink and blue colors. This will be the sequel to Nothing's budget-friendly Phone (3a), and from the early teases, it will include three cameras and Nothing's hallmark glyph lighting. The full announcement will be on March 5.

Last year, Nothing also announced a (3a) Pro version alongside the more vanilla option. While we don't have any official teasers yet, rumors point to Nothing launching sequels to both devices again this year, so watch this space!

Oppo at MWC 2026

Oppo is coming off one of its strongest years yet, with the Find X9 Pro being DCW's top phone of 2025.

Oppo has revealed that the next generation of Ultra phone is coming soon, following in the footsteps of last year's sensationally good, but Chinese-exclusive, Oppo Find X8 Ultra – but this time, it will be launched more internationally, with a European launch confirmed. These devices tend to come out a little later in spring; perhaps we might see a few more teasers before the show is over.

Otherwise, Oppo is not showing anything at MWC, but it was around MWC last year that Oppo released the Oppo Find N5 – at the time, the thinnest book-style foldable. We haven't yet got any conclusive leaks, but could MWC 2026 bring the next generation of Oppo's foldable phone – and will it finally be available in more markets?

Samsung at MWC 2026

Like most years, Samsung is forgoing any large-scale announcements at MWC 2026 and is instead grabbing its own spotlight before the show kicks off.

Samsung has just hosted its own Galaxy Unpacked event, where it debuted its latest 2026 flagships – the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, as well as the Galaxy S26 and Plus models.

The phones have all-around camera updates, but the headline feature is a very cool-looking privacy screen mode for hiding sensitive information, and of course, there is lots and lots of new AI. Check out more in our hands-on below.

Vivo at MWC 2026

Vivo has confirmed the first details of its upcoming flagship X300 Ultra – and Vivo is bringing the phone to more markets, with a European launch confirmed for later in the year.

The Vivo X300 Ultra will come with a brand new 400mm Zeiss lens attachment that combined with the 200MP telephoto sensor, Vivo claims can shoot up to a lossless 1600mm! The design is still under wraps at MWC, with the phone appearing only behind it's newly announced pro camera cage. We're expecting more details soon.

Xiaomi at MWC 2026

Xiaomi has already unveiled both its Xiaomi 17 Series and Xiaomi 17 Ultra phones in its Chinese home market, but now it has launched both phones globally.

The Xiaomi 17 Ultra utilizes another huge 1-inch sensor, but this model is updated with LOFIC technology, which increases how much light the sensor can hold for improved night photography and HDR. That's not all, the phone also comes with a newly designed mechanical optical zoom – just like a proper camera zoom lens – which can physically move between 75mm and 100m. Check out the full story and my review of the phone below.

Xiaomi has also launched it's latest iPad challengers – the Pad 8 and Pad 8 Pro bringing new chips, a larger battery, and an updated workstation mode – alongside a new floating keyboard – to make the tablet experience more like a laptop.

Fujikina, Fujifilm's traveling photography show, is coming to London, UK, and Cologne, Germany, this September. In addition to pimping Fujifilm products, there will be expert talks, photowalks, and masterclasses.

The roadshow will be in Cologne on the weekend of September 27-28, 2025. Single-day tickets cost €10 and a weekend ticket €15, with doors opening 10am-6pm daily. Fujikina Cologne takes place at Flora Cologne, Am Botanical Garden 1a, 50735 Cologne. You can find everything you need to know about the event and buy your tickets at the dedicated Fujikina Cologne area of Fujifilm's website (don't worry if your Deutsch isn't up to scratch, there's an option to view most of the information in English).

Londoners have the chance to visit the Fujikina London event over a massive eight days, with the roadshow running from Thursday, 18 September to Sunday, 21 September, and from Thursday, 25 September to Sunday, 28 September. For the London event, general admission tickets cost £10 on September 18, 19, and 25 (note that there are no seminars or panels on these dates) or £20 on September 20, 21, 26, 27, and 28. Doors open 11am-8pm daily.

Fujikina London will take place at the Fujifilm House of Photography (8-9 Long Acre, London WC2E 9LH, nearest tube Covent Garden) and nearby venues a short walk away. Full information and tickets are available from the Fujikina London area of the website.

Most talks and panel discussions are included with entry to both the Cologne and London shows, but selected workshops and photowalks have an additonal fee. Although it's unlikely we'll see any new products announced at either of these Fujikina events, it could be your first chance to see the Fujifilm GFX Eterna cinema camera and 32-90mm Power Zoom lens, both of which are scheduled for a September announcement.

The Cologne and London dates follow other European Fujikina events that ran earlier this year in Prague, Milan, Brussels, and Arles, as well as Cebu, in the Philippines.

Trade shows are all about seeing the gear of tomorrow, today. But it seems that some visitors at a major imaging show weren't willing to wait to get their hands on the cameras of the future.

The Shanghai International Photographic Equipment and Digital Imaging Exhibition, known as P&I Shanghai, recently wrapped up after running from July 17 to 19, 2025. As one of Asia's major photo and imaging expos, the halls were filled with everything from the latest cameras and lenses to lighting systems, AI video tools, printing technologies, and more.

The event attracted thousands and thousands of professional visitors… and apparently some thieves. After the event, reports began circulating on Chinese social media about incidents of high-end gear going missing. The Federation of Independent Photographers posted on Weibo:

"Too bold! According to reports, there were many thefts of photographic equipment at the recent Shanghai Photographic Equipment Exhibition. The thefts were specifically targeted at the exhibition booths. They were organized, premeditated, and targeted." (Translated with Deepl.com.)

The post goes on to state that Nikon camera bodies and Meike cinema lenses (specifically 16mm and 135mm optics) were among the items stolen. One eyewitness described how a thief was caught by an "uncle" – likely a reference to a police officer stepping in.

I want to highlight that at the time of writing, these thefts haven't been confirmed by any mainstream media outlet, the exhibitor or the brands themselves.

Major industry events have always carried an underlying risk, simply because of the value of what's on display. Expensive gear is left out in the open, massive crowds flow through the halls, and there's a general assumption that the gear is in a safe, professional environment.

There were many incidents in the past, like at the IFA Consumer Electronics Show in Berlin, where a man was caught stealing directly from an exhibitor's booth, reported by PC World. And a bit of a different story, but I remember the shocking news back in 2017 when Sony lost an entire truckload of gear en route to the NAB show in Las Vegas, highlighted by CanonRumors.

It changed a lot. Many organizers have since stepped up their security with bag checks, surveillance and tighter access control, but those measures often only address smaller-scale risks. Organized thefts targeting exhibitor booths (often in the after-hours of the event) are a bit of a different story.

And unfortunately, the combination of prestige, technology and visibility makes shows like P&I Shanghai an ideal target. Rest assured, if there are any official statements following, you will be able to read them here.

About the Photography & Video Show

The Photography & Video Show first launched in 2014 at the NEC, where it ran annually until 2024 (with a gap during the COVID years). Last year, it was held in the ExCel Center, London, for the first time, and going forward, it will alternate between Birmingham and London – and so is back at the NEC for 2026.

If you head over to the TPVS website, you can purchase tickets, be kept abreast of the latest developments, and even book a stand.

One thing I can say for sure is that it's going to be an unmissable event if you're even the slightest bit interested in photography. I look forward to seeing you there!

Bild Expo 2025 is now open for business! Taking place today and tomorrow at the Javits Center in New York, it is "NYC’s largest gathering of photographers, content creators, and filmmakers – two electrifying days of inspiration and education."

Labeling this as a "New York show" does it a huge disservice, as Bild has rapidly established itself as the premier photography and videography exhibition in the United States.

Presented by New York super retailer B&H Photo Video, Bild Expo 2025 is host to hundreds of exhibitors, speakers, presentations, photo walks, giveaways and exclusive show deals. Here's what you need to know about the show…

What is Bild?

Debuting in 2023, Bild Expo has filled the void left by the PhotoPlus show to become the definitive destination for photographers, videographers, content creators and filmmakers.

This year the event welcomes over 250 of the the biggest brands in imaging, including Canon, Sony, Nikon, Fujifilm, OM System, Hasselblad, Leica, Panasonic and Sigma.

In addition, over 100 speakers are hosting talks, presentations, demonstrations and photo walks. Among the headliners are names like Peter Hurley, Peter McKinnon, Cristina Mittermeier, Scott Kelby, Pressley Hosbach and Drex Lee.

There are also portfolio reviews, giveaways, gear and technique demonstrations, as well as show specials.

You can register for the event free at the Bild Expo website, and shuttles will run between the Javits Center (429 11th Ave, New York, NY 10001) and the B&H SuperStore (420 9th Avenue, New York, NY 10001).

Exclusive deals

B&H is running some exclusive two-day mega deals over the duration of the show – and you can even take advantage of these savings online, if you can't get to New York in person.

You can check out the best B&H Bild Expo deals on our dedicated page, but here are some of the hottest handpicked offers to whet your appetite:

Announcements

Underscoring its importance as an event, a number of high-profile camera products and accessories are being launched at Bild Expo.

First up is a brand new camera, the OM System OM-5 Mark II. In my review I call it "an exceptional enthusiast camera that's built for adventure – and it's the perfect outdoor companion for those who want to forget the filters and leave the tripod at home, but still get great results."

Then there's a great new APS-C lens, the Sigma 17-40mm f/1.8 DC | A. My colleague Matthew said in his review: "to create this lens with such excellent handling, image quality and all-round performance, in such a compact and lightweight build, and at a knockdown price point is a mighty achievement. It’s a fabulous lens that really does take the place or three or even four primes, and is something rather special."

We've also seen the launch of the Peak Design Pro Tripods. Our US Editor Hillary has already tried them and says the new line "finds that sweet spot between stability and portability. Larger but sturdier than the Peak Design Travel Tripod, the Pro series is a smartly designed set of tripods that let me focus on the shot rather than fiddling with the support system."

Head over to the respective stands – 778 for OM System, 327 for Sigma and 823 for Peak Design – to find out more!

What's on?

In addition to the gear expo featuring the biggest camera, lens and accessory manufacturers in the business, there's a comprehensive program of events taking place at Bild Expo 2025.

Check out the full speaker schedule, and take a look at the experiences and evening events to see everything that's going on at the show.

Here are some of the highlights that I think are definitely worth checking out…

The Hurley Triangle: Beauty Light for Close-up Portraiture
(June 17, 14:00-15:00)
I love Peter Hurley's photography and his personality is almost as formidable! A real master of his craft, any chance to hear him speak is one you can't afford to miss – but as a portrait photographer, the opportunity to see him share his secrets on beauty lighting is something I'm geeking out over.

Kodak Experience
(June 17 & 18, 11:00-16:00)
The Kodak Experience Room is always a highlight of Bild, focusing on using both 8mm and 16mm to tell your stories. From selecting your stock to loading film on Arri cameras to a Super 8 Movie Walk, this is the perfect place to gain filmmaking insights straight from Kodak – along with four-time Oscar nominee, Ed Lachman.

How to Use Lightroom & Photoshop’s AI Features and Still Sleep at Night
(June 17, 16:00-17:00)
Scott Kelby is one of the most magnetic speakers in the industry. After his popular talk at The Photography & Video Show in the UK, Scott is bringing his unique insights on photo editing to Bild – and I'm intrigued to hear his take on how to use AI ethically when it comes to Adobe's ever-evolving editing tools.

Video Camera Shoot-Out
(June 17 & 18, 10:00-17:00)
It's a showdown between Blackmagic, Canon, DJI, Panasonic, Red / Nikon and Sony! Bild will be staging a professionally lit cinematic scene – a boxer and his trainer prepping for a bout – and visitors will be able to see how each brand fares in areas like color science, dynamic range and image quality.

Women in Media: Breaking Barriers
(June 17, 13:00-14:00)
Women are taking center stage in New York to share their stories and successes. This will be a fascinating and far-ranging talk featuring actress and content creator, Shuang Hu; founder and CEO of Outshine Talent, Barbara Jones; head of creators at Verizon, Lina Renzina; and Founder and CEO of The Luupe, Keren Sachs.

For more information and to register for tickets, head over to the Bild Expo 2025 website.

The Photography & Video Show 2025 isn't just the place to see all the latest photo kit, hear inspiring talks from top pros and pick up the odd photography bargain or two, but there are some brilliant photo and video ops to be had too. Here are my top 5 reasons to bring your own camera to the show.

• IT'S NOT TO LATE! GET YOUR TICKETS TO THE PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEO SHOW

1. The Creator Playground

At the western end of the show, next to the Creator Stage, is the Creator Playground, which is full of whacky sets to pose in. Entry is via a Tetris-themed videogame tunnel, and sets include a DJ booth, enormous pink flamingo ball pit, and the opportunity to catch a wave on a surfboard.

Go to the Creator Playground, next to the Creator Stage

2. Nikon Floating Flower Set

One end of the Nikon stand has an area decorated with 'floating flowers'. It's used for Nikon hands-on workshops at regular intervals through the day, but no one minds using if for your own photo shoot when it's not being used.

Go to the Nikon stand, location A80

3. Dance podium

One of the products on exhibitor Neewer's stand is a mini dance podium with a rotating arm with a phone clamp. The idea is you pop your phone on video mode and strut your stuff on the podium while the phone arcs around you. Ask nicely and the Neewer staff will happily allow you to take a video selfie.

Go to the Neewer stand, location B35

4. Creativity Hub pop-ups

The Creativity Hub has photo sets all over the show, where professional models in all manner of period dress and other outfits happily pose for anyone with a camera.

Find out more at The Creativity Hub, location B85

5. Photowalks

There are a variety of pro-led photowalks as the show, which leave the ExCel London exhibition center and explore the historic docklands and surrounding areas outside.

Book your photowalk

The Photography & Video Show 2025 is at the ExCel London exhibition center and runs March 8-11, 2025, open 10:00-17:00 daily.

See our exhaustive show guide for everything you need to know about The Photography & Video Show 2025, including a comprehensive guide to what's on, a full exhibitors' list, must-see speakers, and the free talks and demos you can attend.

The Photography & Video Show is presented by Future plc, which is also the parent company of Digital Camera World.

There are a lot of cool things to see at this year's Photography & Video Show, but this has to be the coolest of the lot: an enormous cardboard construction taking over the entirety of a stand that is actually a fully functioning camera.

Created from a ramshackle collection of cardboard tubes and boxes, all held together with gaffer tape, it's the brainchild of photographer and camera creator Brendan Barry, who will take your portrait with his madcap contraption then invite you inside the camera to see your image developed in front of your very eyes.

It's based on a camera obscura. The life-size image of the portrait sitter is projected onto a sheet of photographic paper inside the camera, which is then developed into a negative, and a positive print created.

Brendan focuses the image by moving a screen inside the camera back and forth until the upside-down image of the portrait sitter, projected by a repurposed copy lens, is sharp. He then slides a sheet of photographic paper onto the screen, gives the sitter a '3… 2… 1…' countdown before opening a cardboard 'shutter', firing a powerful array of studio flashes to light the subject, and then closing the shutter again.

The sitter is then invited into the camera to see their image develop. Under the dim red lighting inside, the photographic paper goes through a series of trays of various chemicals to first develop, fix and wash the negative image. After hanging the paper to drip-dry briefly, Brendan places a second sheet of photographic paper on top of it, carefully presses them together and squeezes and scrapes out any air, and then exposes the image by shining a light at the rear of the 'positive' print for anywhere between 10 and 30 seconds; it depends on the darkness of the subject's clothes and the setup and intensity of the studio lights, explains Brendan.

The positive print goes through the same develop, fix and wash process of the negative. Brendan checks the print for exposure and problems such as 'soft' areas caused by air bubbles, and creates further prints, adjusting the exposure time until he's happy.

The process takes about 20 to 30 minutes, but is well worth sparing the time for. It's free to have your photo taken, as the installation is sponsored by the Photography & Video Show organizers, and the papers and developing chemicals are provided by film experts Ilford. The print won't be ready until the next day as it requires an overnight wash and dry, but if you're unable to revisit the show to collect it then Brendan will send it on to you for a small fee to cover postage costs.

Brendan has created cameras from all manner of unlikely objects, as demonstrated by the collection of cameras made from accordions, mannequins, lego and tree logs that sit outside his giant cardboard camera, and if you check out his website you'll even see a caravan/camera hybrid!

Here's my pick of the new products that will be on display at the show, and it's likely to be the first chance that most of us have to get hands-on with these exciting shiny new bits of kit. I can't wait to check them out for myself!

1. Sigma BF

Milled from a solid block of aluminum, this concept camera has minimalist controls and, with 320GB of internal storage, foregoes the need for memory cards. It has to rank as the coolest camera ever. But it's not just beautiful to behold; inside it houses a 24.6Mp full-frame sensor, 8fps shooting rate and fast, accurate autofocus.

See it at the Sigma stand, location C60

2. Nikon Coolpix P1100

The follow-up to the ever-popular Coolpix P1000, this bridge camera houses a frankly ridiculous 24-3000mm-equivalent zoom lens. Like its forebear, it will be popular with wildlife photographers and includes improved autofocus in Bird-Watching mode to make getting sharp shots of our feathered friends easier than ever.

See it at the Nikon stand, location A80

3. OM System OM-3

This dinky little camera looks like a retro old-school DSLR in miniature, but houses a Micro Four Thirds 20.4Mp sensor, 6.5-stop IBIS, 120fps shooting rate, and is packed with computational photography tech that results in the most versatile and creative options of any camera on the market.

See it at the OM Digital Solutions stand, location C45

4. Sigma 300-600mm f/4 DG OS

Coined the "dream lens", the 300-600mm f/4 promises the optical performance of a 600mm prime lens with the versatility of a super-telephoto zoom, and boasts 5.5 stops of optical stabilization and offers drop-in filters. It will be available in L-Mount and E-Mount.

See it at the Sigma stand, location C60

5. Nikon Z 28-135mm f/4 PZ

This cine-focused lens offers a constant aperture through a generous zoom range, and Power Zoom functionality that enables smooth, remote-controlled zooming, making it the perfect lens for documentary filmmaking, location work, and run-and-gun videography.

See it at the Nikon stand, location A80

6. Sony FE 400-800mm f/6.3-8 G OSS

The ultra-telephoto zoom stretches to a gargantuan 800mm – which can be doubled to 1600mm with a 2x teleconverter. It features built-in stabilization and extensive weather sealing, and has a pair of precision linear motors that ensure autofocus can keep up with the Sony A9 III's 120fps burst speed.

See it at the Sony stand, location A20

7. Sigma 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7 DC OS

The world's first mirrorless lens with 18.8x zoom. The 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7 is an APS-C lens with a 35mm equivalent focal range of 24-400mm, and offers 6 stops of optical image stabilization at the wide end, and 4.5 stops at the telephoto. Competitively priced, it is coming in Canon RF-Mount, L-Mount, E-Mount, and Fujifilm X-Mount.

See it at the Sigma stand, location C60

8. Nikon Z 35mm f/1.2 S

This fast, wide prime joins the Nikon Z 50mm f/1.2 S and Nikon Z 85mm f/1.2 S to complete Nikon's trinity of super-fast f/1.2 lenses that are designed to extract every last micron of performance from Nikon’s best Z system cameras, as well as being one of the best Nikon Z lenses in its own right.

See it at the Nikon stand, location A80

9. EIZO ColorEdge CG2400S

For high-precision color work, EIZO's new 24.1in monitor has a built-in colorimeter, and boasts 98% DCI-P3 and 99% AdobeRGB color space coverage. It is EIZO's first 24.1-inch CG-series monitor to support hybrid log-gamma (HLG) transfer function and perceptual quantization (PQ) curve for displaying and editing HDR content. I'm looking forward to finding out what that actually means!

See it at the EIZO stand, location C55

10. Vanguard Alta Pro 3VLT 304CT

Vanguard will be showing off its Alta Pro 3VL 304CT carbon fiber tripod, which offers a huge 13kg load capacity and a built-in levelling base to support weighty, professional video equipment. Despite its impressive load rating, the tripod only weighs 1.43kg and folds down to just 560mm long, making it supremely portable.

Leading photo printing and wall art company CEWE will announce the winner of its inaugural Student Photography Award contest in a pop-up event at this year's The Photography & Videography Show.

CEWE’s Student Photography Award contest forms part of the world’s largest free photography competition, the CEWE Photo Award, which this year aims to celebrate earth’s beauty. A gallery will be on display for the duration of the show with an exhibition of the top images entered into the CEWE Photo Award from the UK and Ireland thus far.

The CEWE Student Photography Award winner will be unveiled on the CEWE stand (location A90) on Tuesday, March 11, 1.30pm. Music photographer Christie Goodwin will take to the stand to discuss the CEWE Photo Award contest and present the winner of CEWE’s first Student Photography Award with their prize. It follows Christie's 'Finding your own voice in photography' talk at 12.20-1pm on the Behind The Lens stage. Both promise to be unmissable events!

The award takes place on one of two days where students of photography, film and related subjects can enter the show for free (subject to showing their student ID on entry). Students can access free tickets on Monday, March 10, and Tuesday, March 11, but will need to pre-register for the show. Non-students can get a 20% discount on pre-registered tickets. The deadline for all pre-registered tickets is 23.59 on March 5.

• GET FREE STUDENT ENTRY TO THE PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEO SHOW

The CEWE Student Photography Award was launched in 2024, inviting student photographers aged 16-plus to submit photos that celebrate the earth’s beauty, with a string of prizes worth over £5,000 ($6,350) up for grabs. The free-to-enter competition is open to all UK students with a love of photography, with each student able to submit up to 100 pictures across 10 categories.

The first prize includes a solo exhibition with full support and mentoring from leading photo printing company CEWE, a CEWE PHOTOBOOK, and exclusive work experience with the CEWE Photo Team in Oldenburg, Germany. The winner will also receive a Fuji X-T30 II camera with accessories and be featured in the CEWE Student Photography Award 2025 Exhibition.

Prizes for second and third place offer a limited edition print run of the shortlisted photographers' images, signed and numbered by the artists, as well as inclusion in the CEWE Student Photography Award 2025 exhibition and catalogue, and more.

Christie Goodwin, British photographer and judge of the CEWE Student Photography Award, commented: “It doesn’t matter whether you regularly showcase your photos to an audience – or whether you are new to holding a camera, the CEWE Student Photography Award is open to all those interested in photography and studying at any level, and we’d love to see your individual perspectives.”

The winners of this year's prestigious London Camera Exchange (LCE) Photographer of the Year 2025 competition are to be revealed live on stage at The Photography & Video Show 2025. The big reveal is due to take place on Sunday, March 9, at 3.45pm on the Creator Stage, so make a date in your diary for what is sure to be a highlight of the show.

The LCE Photographer of the Year is open to non-professional photographers worldwide and has a prize pool of £10,000 ($12,700).

The competition has a total of 14 categories, with genres as diverse as pets, portraits, music, and macro photography. Now in its second year, the competition introduces a new category for 2025, the ‘Emerging Talent’ award for photography students, with a prize awarded to both the photographer and their university or college.

Here is a small selection of shortlisted images from the competition, but come and see them all for yourself, as once the winners and runners-up have been announced, they will be on display in an exhibition for the duration of the four-day Show.

More than 10,000 images were entered into the competition, wowing the judges with their creativity and diversity of content – from high-velocity action shots to sublime portraits and vivid wildlife scenes. The panel of judges revealing the award winners comprises Digital Camera World's very own content director Chris George, professional photojournalist Peter Dench, SheClicks founder and journalist Angela Nicholson, and LCE's managing director Lee Harasyn.

Each of the category winners receives a trophy and £500 ($635) of vouchers to spend at LCE, while the winner takes home a £3,000 ($3,815) voucher – and they'd be wise to take it straight across to the LCE's stand at location D100 to use it to secure one or two of the retailer's famous show bargains!

Established in Guildford in 1956, London Camera Exchange has grown to be the UK’s premier specialist photographic retailer, with 26 nationwide high street locations. It will be one of three retailers onsite offering special show deals on cameras, lenses, and accessories at this year's Photography & Video Show.

The Disabled Photographers' Society (DPS) stand at The Photography & Video Show 2025 will once again be packed with bargains galore of pre-loved photography equipment. In addition to promoting the sterling services that the society provides for less-able-bodied snappers, its stand is the go-to destination for all manner of secondhand goodies.

From antique 'box brownies' to more modern accessories like memory cards and tripods, there are bargains aplenty to be had. It's a must-visit stand for film photography fans too, with darkroom processing equipment going for a song, and masses of memorabilia from film and digital eras alike.

You never know what you might find. At last year's show, one kind-hearted photographer donated a vintage camera that had an undeveloped roll of film inside: the DPS has it developed to discover unseen photographs from the 1948 London Olympic Games, taken 75 years previously – and which are proudly going on display in a photo exhibition at this year's show.

All the items on sale have been donated from generous photographers clearing out their old unwanted photo gear over the past year, and the DPS welcomes donations at the show, so why not bring along your old kit that's surplus to requirements and help a good cause?

They will willingly take any old camera or lens, just so long as it is still in working order. They will be equally happy to take any old photography books, cables, filters, darkroom gear, bags and other photo paraphernalia off your hands. 

The stand number is F32, so drop off your donations when you arrive at the show – and perhaps pick up some amazing bargains before you leave!

The Disabled Photographers' Society has been running for over 50 years. The charity has developed a broad knowledge of various ways to make photography accessible to people with a wide variety of disabilities. Often with a few simple modifications, the experts at the DPS can open up a whole new world of possibilities to those who would otherwise struggle to operate a camera. The Society is run by a team of dedicated volunteers, most of whom are disabled photographers themselves.

The Photography & Video Show 2025 will be hosting a Here I Am gallery from Felt Photographic, aimed at giving you the chance to experience photography differently.

Have a look at the images below and ask yourself: Which images are you drawn to? What insight does this give you about where you’re at and what you need? What might change as a result? This is a unique opportunity to encounter photography from a new perspective and – who knows – it might even change the way you look at images forever.

Gallery curator Kat Mahale has created this unique approach to photography using the 'felt sense', challenging and redefining how we relate to images. See our interview with Kat, where she speaks about the Here I Am exhibition and concept of felt sense.

If you attend The Photography & Video Show in person, you can grab your chance to be guided by Kat and your felt sense through the Here I Am exhibition. There will be sessions at 11am, 1pm and 2pm each day that the show is running, from March 8-11, so book your place here.

MWC 2025 will open its doors next week - so what are we expecting to see? MWC is one of the biggest shows on planet when it comes to mobile phones, and usually it is a place where a myriad of new handsets get launched, all wanting to top the best camera phone list. 

We already have a pretty good idea of some of the new handsets that will be at the annual exhibition, which is held annually in the Spanish port of Barcelona. But there are bound to be some surprises as the manufacturers and networks give sneak peaks of their latest tech…

What is MWC 2025?  

MWC stands for Mobile Word Congress - and is organized by the GSMA, the global industry association, first formed in 1995 to promote the first 2G GSM digital phones. The show itself was first held in 1987, and in 2024  attracted over 101,000 visitors, from 205 countries and territories to the Fira Barcelona Gran Via exhibition halls. There are now additional MWC spin-off shows in Shanghai, Kigali and Las Vegas.

When is MWC 2025?

It takes place in Barcelona from Monday March 3  to Thursday March 6. The halls are open to visitors from 8.30am to 7pm on the first three days, and from 8.30am to 4pm on the final day. 

But there will be lots of speeches from leading industry figures. Many of the sessions will be centered on the themes of the 5G and 6G, eSIM, mobile security, the Internet of Things, and, of course, Gen AI. As ever, the keynotes and industry sessions will discuss how cellular technology can be used in much, much more than just our phones.

And we will be bringing you all the news, as and if it happens…

What we expect at MWC 2025

Thanks to the  rumor mill and the inevitable teasers from the key manufacturers, we already had a pretty good idea what some of the highlights will be at this year's expo. As ever Apple and Samsung are the most notable handset manufacturers who do not reveal new products at MWC.

Below are some of the things we know about, and are excited about, coming at MWC 2025 - but we will be regularly updating this as we hear and see more of what is being announced.

Xiaomi at MWC 2025

Xiaomi will use MWC to launch its 15 Ultra phone - but we already know a fair amount abou this. For us, the Leica cameras are the big story. The main camera will run on a 1in 50MP sensor, and there is a big upgrade for the telephoto lens. This will use a 200MP Samsung 1/1.4” sensor paired with an f/1.4 aperture - offering a focal length that is equivalent to a tradition 100mm. 

Read more on what we know so far

Oppo at MWC2025

Oppo may well have already revealed its biggest news - with the announcement that the global launch of the Oppo Find N5. This is the world's thinnest bi-fold foldable - which you can read all about in our full review.

Nothing at MWC2025

Nothing has its press conference pencilled in for March 4 - and we expect that at last they will finally announce the full details for the Nothing Phone (3a) series of handsets, which we are told will feature a periscope camera.

The Photography & Video Show 2025 will be hosting an exhibition of images taken by the late teenager who battled cancer Liz Hatton. Liz was just 16 when she was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer called Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumour. In the 10 months that followed the talented teenager was determined not to let her prognosis define her. Her passion for photography sustained her; leading to opportunities that took her from an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle to red carpets, West End Theatre shows and London Fashion Week. Liz died on November 27, 2024, but not before she had captured the hearts of many, leaving us the gift of her photography and her desire to make a difference in the world.

Below is a selection of Liz's images, professionally printed by SIM Imaging, but we encourage you to come to the show and see them for yourself.

‘Capture’ Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumour Charity was founded after Liz's death to raise funds for vital research into the disease that killed her. Its rarity is that it receives no government or pharmaceutical company funding, and therefore survival rates have remained static over the last 20 years. Only 15% of those diagnosed live for five years post-diagnosis. Liz lived for just 10 months. Capture is a small charity with no overheads, all donations go directly to funding research to improve treatments and give others a better chance of life.

You can donate by scanning the QR code above to visit the JustGiving page set up in memory of Liz. You will also have the opportunity to donate to the charity at the ‘A tribute to Liz Hatton' gallery at The Photography & Video Show.

Making headlines with drone photography

Speaker: Chris Gorman Date: March 10
Time: 11:30-11:50 Stage: Fundamentals

“Drone technology is the biggest game-changer in photography since the advent of digital,” says Chris Gorman, also known as ‘The Big Ladder Photographer’. As a newspaper photojournalist and the UK’s foremost drone photography specialist, Chris has learnt to embrace the latest DJI drone technology.

Aspiring drone pilots attending his talk on the Fundamentals stage at TP&VS will learn how to create beautiful aerial images from dramatic landscapes to photographing subjects for national newspapers. The key message from his talk will be that drone photography isn’t simply about the extra height but about having a camera that can go anywhere (within legislation) and the endless possibilities this creates. “With DJI technology, drones are generally easy to operate and therefore a valuable addition to any photographer’s kit bag,” he says.

The landscape within

Speaker: Colin Prior Date: March 10
Time: 11:20-12:00 Stage: Behind the Lens

“Photographers aspiring to publish their own book need to be aware of many things, not just the photography. Factors including design, production and distribution will all be crucial to the success of the venture,” says Colin Prior, a Scottish landscape photographer who is now working on his 10th book. “It’s easy to spend money on print but the challenge is to convert that back into money by making a profit,” he adds.

Anyone attending Colin’s talk can look forward to a presentation that includes some of the latest work he has produced for his forthcoming book. “I expect that aspiring photographers will pick up a great deal of information, including reading the landscape, finding a voice and honing their craft,” he says.

My favorite lighting for content creation

Speaker: April Alexander Dates: March 10 & 11
Times: 12:30-13:00 & 10:30-11:00 Stage: Creator

“Getting to grips with lighting can be intimidating at first, but it doesn’t have to be. Continuous lighting is an excellent starting point because what you see is what you get,” says April Alexander, a portrait, fashion and commercial photographer known for capturing her subjects through an authentic and poetic lens. “In my session, I will share some techniques to help train your eye, use your equipment optimally and show how transitioning to continuous lighting simplified and streamlined my workflow – and how it can work for you.” April’s talk will also explain the meaning behind her motto, ‘Stop overthinking – K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Silly)’, and show that continuous lighting techniques with minimal equipment can achieve stunning results.

ICM photography – the hows and the whys

Speaker: Charlotte Bellamy Date: March 9
Time: 10:15-10:45 Stage: Behind the Lens

“With the intentional camera movement (ICM) technique, you can’t make a ‘wrong’ image; if you love what you create and it embodies your vision, then it works,” says Charlotte Bellamy, who uses creative and mindful photographic techniques to showcase her love of nature. “ICM is a creative technique that allows you to step away from technical perfection and experiment, explore and interpret what you personally experience when photographing your subject,” she says.

In her talk, visitors will learn how to explore a scene or subject matter, using all their senses. “ICM brings creativity, movement and emotion to my images,” says Charlotte. “Each one is unique and I love the feeling of freedom I get from exploring subjects this way.”

Stepping into YouTube: Creating a rewarding channel

Speaker: Courtney Victoria Date: 8 March
Time: 15:00-15:30 Stage: Creator

“The journey you take when creating an image often holds its own stories, which can be just as inspiring and rewarding to capture. It may also push you to explore new concepts and techniques,” says Courtney Victoria, an outdoor and landscape photography pro who documents the creative process behind her images through videos on her YouTube channel.

Visitors to the show can look forward to hearing about Courtney’s inspiring approach to boosting confidence on YouTube and learning how to attract an audience with shared interests. Aspiring photographers and content creators will also learn how to kick-start their channels with a focus on creativity and self-expression, rather than chasing likes and followers.

All these talks – and many more – are free with your entry ticket to The Photography & Video Show 2025

Book your ticket to The Photography & Video Show

The Photography & Video Show 2025 is at the London Excel exhibition center, running for four days from Saturday, March 8 to Tuesday, March 11. It is open 10:00 to 17:00 every day. You'll find everything you need to know here.

The Photography & Video Show is presented by Future plc, which is also the parent company of Digital Camera World.

The Photography & Video Show 2025 is to publicly display a selection of images of the 1948 Olympic Games for the first time. The monochrome square-format photos were discovered on a roll of film handed into the Disabled Photographer's Society at the previous year's show, which the Society subsequently had developed and was startled to find that it contained the historic photographs taken more than 75 years previously.

As we previously reported, who took the photographs remains a mystery, despite the Disabled Photographic Society's best efforts to trace the owner of the undeveloped film roll. The roll was handed in by an anonymous member of the public to the Society's stand at the Photography & Video Show 2024, which it uses to trade all manner of donated vintage photography equipment as a fundraiser. The stall is definitely worth popping by if you're visiting the show, as you never know what you might turn up.

Visitors to The Photography & Video Show 2025 will have the chance to see these captivating images and witness a piece of sporting history for themselves at a special gallery area of the show. In addition to the vintage 1948 Olympics images, the gallery area will host exhibitions from the LCE Photographer of the Year Awards, Cewe Photo Award, SheClicks Awards, Sony World Photography Awards, Felt Photographic Gallery, and The Week Junior Science + Nature Scavenger Hunt Photo Competition.

The Photography & Video Show 2025 is at the Excel London exhibition center and runs March 8-11, 2025, open 10:00-17:00 daily. Below is a selection of the images that will be on display at the show, but book your early-bird tickets with a 20% discount and come and see them for yourself!

Ruth Folkard, Event Director for the show, said, "We are looking forward to displaying these photos to the public for the first time this year and bringing something of such historical significance to our visitors. Given the images are from the 1948 London Olympics and we are bringing the show to London for the first time, it’s a wonderful opportunity for us to display the photos of such relevance to the city.”

There's plenty to see at this year's Photography & Video Show, which is in the Excel London exhibition center (March 8-11, 2025, 10:00-17:00 daily), but there's plenty to see outside of it too. Taking full advantage of the show's location in the London Docklands area, there are a variety of photowalks on offer hosted by various big-name photographers and photography brands.

Some are free with your show ticket and others are at a modest additional fee, but either way, spaces are limited and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, so you'd be wise to secure your show ticket as soon as possible – especially as we have a fabulous early-bird 20% saving deal!
