Nikon just announced the highly-anticipated Z6 III, a full-frame mirrorless camera that prioritizes speed and video capabilities.

Photography News: Nikon Z6 III Tomorrow, Nikon’s New Self-Service Site
It's nice to have "something to photograph when there's nothing to photograph." For me, that's macro photography of oil droplets floating in water. If the weather is bad, or if I'm not inspired by anything nearby, I know that I can always exercise my photography muscles by spending an afternoon...
