Also another little known piece of AI magic is https://www.remove.bg/ which is artificial intelligence piece of software. Free to use! That will take out the background from your photos without the need for a green screen, soon hopefully it will work for videos.

Best lenses are from Sigma with a whole bunch of new lenses this year including the full-frame Art primes. These are a 28mm f/1.4 and a 40mm f/1.4. Image quality we have come to expect from the Art series and will be available for Sigma, Canon EF, Nikon F, and Sony E-mount cameras. Also the massive new zoom lens 60-600mm
