If you've opened up any social media at all in the last year or two, you've probably seen a fair number of AI-generated videos set to music. I know for me, my feed is filled with many strange videos involving Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, and a bag of Cheetos. But none of those videos have had any dialogue—until now, with Google's Veo 3. About a week ago, Google unleashed it's latest AI video generator, Veo 3.

One need only look at GoPro's stock price, once at almost $94 in 2014 and now trading at less than a dollar, to recognize that maybe action cameras — and other niche, specialized cameras — aren't the best ideas. Still, that hasn't stopped me from buying a good many of them over the years, and after watching this video, I have some feelings. Afternoon Coffee House takes a real hard look at the action cameras/360 cameras they've purchased over the years and ponders the question: Are they worth it?

While the 360 camera market has seen a lot of entries from established names like GoPro and Ricoh, as well as upstarts like Insta360 and Kandao, there's one industry giant that's been notably silent: DJI. That may about to change. Photographer and YouTuber Joseph Blake highlights photos from DJI's regulatory filings on the new camera, which will likely bear the moniker "OSMO 360" and talks about where such a camera would fit in the current landscape of 360 cameras.

It seems that the major manufacturers are hell-bent on making prime lenses obsolete, or at least it seems that way with Sony's release of the new FE 50-150mm f/2 GM lens. Should wedding photographers bite? When Canon first announced its RF 28-70mm f/2 L USM lens, it was a drool-worthy lens for many photographers shooting prime lenses in that range, potentially replacing several lenses with one (very large) lens instead.

Another year, another Insta360 release. While that sounds like an anti-climactic statement about the new X5, it's not meant to be. While there may not be any headline-grabbing features like higher-resolution footage, there are a few improvements that make the camera just a bit more livable than the X4.

This camera was just ... awful. But it plays games! #photography #cameras #toycameras #fstoppers https://t.co/jnijGYeQNz
I mean, if this isn't a great use of AI for filmmaking, I don't know what is.
The power of AI has allowed me to bring you the Trump Harris debate one night early, or at least Trump's top secret strategy to win. https://t.co/Qz5aNxVvUV
I have said it for years and I’ll say it again: stop saying things are “sexually and racially charged.” The things Donald Trump says are sexist and racist, full stop. I’m aware that @nytimes doesn’t follow AP style, but AP has also come to the same conclusion about “charged.” https://t.co/Vkai75wDPK
