This is The Digital Story Podcast 1,028, Dec. 2, 2025. Today's theme is, "Catching Up on the Latest Photo News." I'm Derrick Story.
We've been so busy with workshops and gift guides that I haven't been able to share the latest interesting news stories in our space. Well that changes today! I have the DP Review Camera of the Year, the Leica Photo of the Year, and the scoop on what really killed Minolta. All of that, and more, on today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.
