We’re in Yokohama, Japan, for the CP+ Expo, the annual camera industry trade show for the latest products from Japanese manufacturers. There’s booth after booth of camera bodies, lenses, software updates and more to pursue, along with the occasional surprises and headscratchers.

For our team, this is a special time, not just to run from one company to the next to see what they have cooking but also to meet with industry insiders to learn more about where the industry is going and what they think about the future of photography. CP+ is also a time of new product launches. So far this week, we’ve seen six lens announcements, various firmware and product releases and the long-awaited release of the Fujifilm X100VI.

We wanted to give you a glimpse of what we’re seeing at the Expo in the video below. Can you spot some of the latest and greatest from the various camera, lens and accessory manufacturers?

That’s just 30 seconds of the experience of CP+; imagine spending a few days here. What should we keep an eye out for? What do you want to see from the show? Let us know in the comments below.

The Fujifilm X100VI is the sixth iteration of Fujifilm’s classically-styled large sensor compact. A 40MP X-Trans sensor, in-body stabilization and 6.2K video are among the updates.
