The “C” in the new Nikon Z5IIC stands for “casual” and incorporates scene modes for the first time in any Nikon full-frame camera. Toggle the camera to a scene and the camera does the rest—night, portrait or any of its 15 modes. Unlike a typical point-and-shoot this is a full-frame mirrorless camera with a 24.5 C-MOS sensor and the depth and clarity provided by the EXPEED 7 image processing engine – the same processor used on the brand’s flagship Z9. The biggest bonus is access to Nikon’s massive lens library, from current Z-series to historic F lenses back to 1967. Price is for the body only, multiple options are available with various lenses and accessories.

It’s part of a new six-piece capsule collection that includes a highly technical do-over of the Theta AR Jacket (much loved by serious alpine skiers and climbers). To commemorate this relationship milestone the ARC’TERYX × BEAMS collection kicks off museum exhibitions of both brands in New York and Japan this week. The capsule will only be purchasable in person at Beams stores in Japan, and Arc’Teryx stores in Canada, China, the U.K.and the U.S.

Thayer’s is a CH favorite for its natural, simple and effective formulations. One of their everyday basics—Thayers Pore Refining Pads—is a great way to clear away the dirt, grime, sweat and residue from your busy day. A simple, effective formula—witch hazel and salicylic acid on pre-moistened pads—is all you need. One side of the pad gently exfoliates, the softer side helps clear any impurities, and together this simple step reduces your pores and preps your skin for what’s next.
