Over the weekend, the United States and China agreed to a 90-day suspension of most tariffs imposed since April. This latest development could offer short-term relief in an ongoing trade dispute that has disrupted global shipping and raised prices for US consumers. Previously, the US had paused reciprocal tariffs for other countries, though it had excluded China from that pause.

In a joint statement released this morning, both governments said the pause would allow time for continued negotiations. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed the "90-day pause" agreement following talks with officials in Geneva, stating that "reciprocal" tariffs would be reduced by 115% on both sides. US tariffs on Chinese goods will drop to about 30%, while China will reduce its levies to 10% on American imports.

The previously proposed tariffs from early April involved US tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese imports and Chinese tariffs of 125% on US goods, which slowed trade significantly. Major ports reported sharp drops in traffic, and the international shipping and logistics firm DHL Express suspended shipments to the US with a declared value of over $800.

Sigma America, Canon and others have already announced their plans for increased prices as a result of the US-China tariff war. Tamron also announced that it was shifting where its lenses are manufactured based on the tariffs. What this pause means for those companies is unclear. Given that it's a temporary solution, it's unlikely we'll see any walkback on plans to increase prices.

Officials on both sides characterized the Geneva talks as productive. "It's important to understand how quickly we were able to come to an agreement," said Jamieson Greer, a senior US trade representative. For now, with tariffs temporarily eased and talks ongoing, all manufacturers and importers can do is watch and wait. Hopefully, the pause becomes a path toward resolution rather than a delay before the next disruption.

Travel can be stressful, and figuring out how to pack your cameras and lenses can certainly add to that stress. All that gear can take up a lot of space and add quite a bit of weight, which isn't always feasible to keep with you during a flight. So, what do you do when packing camera equipment in your carry-on isn't an option? You resort to checked luggage.

Can you put a camera in checked luggage?

The simple answer to whether or not you can put a camera in checked luggage is yes. Most countries and airlines allow cameras and lenses in checked baggage, provided they don't result in your bag exceeding the airline's size and weight limitations. The main potential restriction is lithium batteries.

Most countries' airport security rules say you can have a lithium battery in a device within your checked bag, provided the device can't power on. However, airlines (or even specific personnel) may have their own rules. It's always a good idea to check prior to catching your flight, and to keep your camera at least somewhat easily accessible in case you need to take the battery out at the last minute. If you're bringing spare batteries along, those must always be in carry-on, no matter what airline you're flying.

Should you put a camera in checked luggage?

While you can put your camera in checked baggage, the bigger question is whether you should. Your bag will have quite a rough and tumble journey from getting checked in to being picked up at your destination. Luggage handlers aren't typically known for being all that careful with bags, so there is a risk of your camera and lenses getting damaged in transit. Plus, theft is another potential concern, as is your bag getting lost by the airline.

Of course, there are times when checking your camera may be unavoidable. If so, you'll want to ensure your gear is packed securely with plenty of padding and rigid structure. Don't simply toss your camera or lens at the top of your duffel bag and hope for the best. Something like a Pelican case or at least a hard suitcase would be best. An airport security-approved lock isn't a bad idea, and insurance for your gear certainly doesn't hurt, either. Also, small trackers like AirTags, Chipolos or Tiles could give you some peace of mind.

Fujifilm released its financial results for the 2025 fiscal year, made a statement about tariffs, and registered two new cameras in Asia:

Fujifilm imaging business:

• Strong sales in instant photo systems and digital cameras drove revenue up by 14.1% year-over-year to JPY115.3 billion and operating income surged 1.9 times from the previous year to JPY24.2 billion.
• In the Consumer Imaging business, steady demand for instax instant photo systems contributed to the increase in revenue.
• In the Professional Imaging business, sales of digital cameras grew in China and Europe. The continued strong performance of last year’s digital cameras releases, including the X100VI, GFX100S II, X-T50 and X-M5 further bolstered overall sales.

Statement about tariffs:

"The impact of U.S. tariff policies is not factored into the full-year performance forecast stated above. However, as part of our risk assessment, the Company has assumed potential impacts stemming from a 10% general tariff as well as reciprocal tariff increases between the U.S. and China. The potential impact on the projected full-year operating income of ¥331.0 billion is estimated to be a negative USD 140 million as a baseline, with a fluctuation range of USD ±100 million, taking into account such measures as reevaluating our supply chain, further reducing costs, and restructuring our product and pricing strategie to minimize the impacts. Potential impacts from future tariff negotiations between the U.S. and other countries, as well as reduced product demand resulting from reciprocal tariff applications, are not included in this estimate due to the difficulty of making a reasonable assessment at this time. We will continue to pay close attention to these dynamics and take swift and necessary measures to minimize any impact on our performance."

SONY XPERIA 1 VII Fully Leaked

The post What else is new? appeared first on Photo Rumors.

Happy Saturday, everyone! We've officially made it to the weekend, which means it's time to take a look at new accessories that came out this week. This week was a quiet one gear-wise, but we saw some new film, software updates, a cage from SmallRig and a 60th anniversary photo book. First, though, let's get into the deals.

Deals of the week

Photo: Sony

The Sony a7 IV has earned many recommendations from the DPReview team since its launch. It's been picked as one of the best cameras for street photography and one of the best affordable cameras for sports. It's even more affordable right now, too, selling for $500 off.

If Nikon cameras are more your thing, you're also in luck. The Nikon Z8, which was picked as Richard Butler's Gear of the Year in 2023 and earned a DPReview Gold Award, is also $500 off right now.

Speaking of the Sony a7 IV, SmallRig released a new modular cage for the hybrid camera this week. It offers full protection on all sides, a genuine leather-wrapped handle and an integrated Arca-Swiss plate. It's currently available for purchase in all regions except for the US, where it won't be available until June 7th.

An updated way to edit

Image: DxO

DxO is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year and unveiled a new logo and tagline to celebrate. It also launched Nik Collection 8 this week. The Nik Collection is a series of seven plugins that work with various programs, but can also function as standalone apps, too. The update brought new masking tools, making it easier to go back and forth between Photoshop and Nik Collection while using masks.

The company also updated Nik Silver Efex, its black-and-white editor, with an updated workflow. You can see all of the updates, download a free trial or update your version at the DxO website.

Stock up on new stock

This week brought a new film stock for analog photographers. Ilford released Kentmere Pan 200, an ISO 200 black-and-white film. The company says it offers fine grain and enhanced contrast for shooting in most situations. It's available in 24 exposures, 36 exposures, 35mm bulk lengths and 120 format.

A new edition of a classic book

Finally, something a little different. Aperture, a non-profit photography publisher established in 1952, has released the Sixtieth Anniversary Edition of Edward Weston's The Flame of Recognition. The monograph was initially issued as a hardcover in 1965, though some of the work was included in a 1958 edition of Aperture magazine. It brings together sequences of Weston's images with excerpts from his writing to, in his own words, "present clearly my feeling for life with photographic beauty... without subterfuge or evasion in spirit or technique."

The Flame of Recognition covers the range of Weston's works, including portraits and nudes, to landscapes and still lifes. It's available for purchase now through Aperture's website.

Firmware Friday is back, and there are a fair number of updates this week. The most significant comes from Leica, in the form of a massive change to video recording options on the SL3 and SL3-S. The latest version allows for internal ProRes 422 HQ video in Cine 6K or Cine 4K recording with a CFexpress card. That's a massive boost from the previous support for ProRes that maxed out at 1080p. Multiple other Leica cameras also saw smaller firmware updates. There were also small fixes for Nikon's Z30 and the Hasselblad X2D 100C, as well as new firmware for select TTArtisan and Viltrox lenses.

Read on to learn what's new and get links to download the software you need to keep creating if you use any of these products.
