In this recurring column, we highlight a few items we've run across that don't merit a full story of their own but are interesting enough to bring to your attention.

- Sony has announced its CFexpress Type A Tough Memory Cards in capacities of 960-GB or 1920-GB with read speeds of up to 800 MB/s and write speeds of up to 700 MB/s (with minimum sustained write speeds of 200 MB/s). The 960-GB version is $748.
- The 17th Sony World Photography Awards is now accepting submissions for 2024. The student competition closed Nov. 30 while the youth and open competitions close Jan. 5, 2024 and the pro competition on Jan. 12. Entry is free.
