A quick orientation: the relevant standards in current camera hardware are WiFi 4 (802.11n, introduced 2009), WiFi 5 (802.11ac, introduced 2013), and WiFi 6 (802.

NAB Show 2026, April 18–22, Las Vegas Las Vegas opens the week with that particular convention-center energy photographers and camera people know well: long halls, bright overhead light, black drape, giant LED walls, and a constant stream of lenses, rigs, monitors, gimbals, and people trying to decide what actually matters once the show-floor glow wears off. NAB Show 2026 arrives as a media industry event on a massive scale, but from a photography and imaging perspective, what makes it interesting is not just size.

Post-processing for most photographers ends at the image. Lightroom, Capture One, or DaVinci handle the raw file; the deliverable is a finished JPEG or TIFF. But the work that surrounds that image — the portfolio layout, the client presentation, the social post, the print mockup, the licensing pitch — has always required a separate toolchain and a separate block of time. Canva AI 2.0 addresses most of that second layer, and for photographers who aren’t designers by training, it does so without requiring them to become one.
