Member Mixer – iPhone 17e, Authenticity vs AI, and CP+ Gear

Join us for this week’s TWiP Member Mixer! Let’s dive into some hot topics and share what we’ve been shooting.

Tonight’s Discussion Topics:

Apple iPhone 17e Just Dropped
Apple announced the iPhone 17e today with a 48MP 2-in-1 camera system. What does this mean for computational photography? Are we hitting a ceiling, or is there still room to grow?

The Authenticity Movement
There’s a strong trend toward candid, “real moment” portraits — unposed, imperfect, human. Is this a reaction to AI perfection? How do you balance authenticity with the tools we have?

CP+ 2026 Highlights
Sigma just announced development of an 85mm f/1.2 Art lens. What gear from CP+ caught your eye? What’s actually worth paying attention to?

Plus: Share what you’ve been shooting this week and what’s in your bag.

See you tonight!
