This week on The PetaPixel Podcast, the team goes through the decades starting in the mid 1900s and examines which camera company was the most influential during that time. That doesn't mean who sold the most, it means who drove the industry in a particular direction.

Plus, GoPro drama abounds, Ricoh announced the GR IVx, and Chris, Jordan, and Jaron say goodbye to one of their dear friends. All that and more!
