Adobe has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Topaz Labs, the company behind Topaz Video, Topaz Photo, and Gigapixel. The deal was announced June 25, 2026, and is expected to close in the second half of the year, pending regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions. Why Adobe Wants Topaz Topaz Labs builds AI models for video and image enhancement, covering upscaling, sharpening, noise removal, stabilization, frame interpolation, and footage restoration.

Core SWX’s PowerVault, the unified power and charging system we named Best of Show at NAB 2026, is now available for preorder through B&H Photo Video. We got our first look at the PowerVault back in April and called it the first unified power system built for production, and Core SWX has since accelerated its production schedule, with shipments now targeted to begin in September.

A new pocket gimbal camera is headed to American shooters this summer. It records 4K at up to 240fps. It carries a 1-inch CMOS sensor, 3-axis mechanical stabilization, ActiveTrack 7.0, 107GB of onboard storage, 10-bit D-Log color, a 3x optical zoom module, and a dual flip touchscreen. It’s sold by a Delaware-registered startup called Xtra Technology. The price has not yet been announced. It is, by every measurable spec, the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P. Just without the name.
