Olympus Announces Midrange E-30 dSLR
Posted by Digital Pimp | Filed under The Digital Camera Blog
With a whole $900 spread between the Olympus E-520 and the E-3, Olympus is like a lonely woman crying for a gentleman. Enter the E-30, a 12.3-megapixel midrange dSLR filling the gap to compete with the likes of Nikon D90, Canon EOS 40D and even Canon EOS 50D. Game on Olympus. The body delivers Art Filters, a set of six effects–Pop Art, Soft Focus, Pale and Light, Grainy Film, Light Tone and Pin Hole–which are applicable during shooting. Sounds like prosumer features?

AlienBees Cyber Commander Commands Your Flash
Posted by Digital Pimp | Filed under The Digital Camera Blog
AlienBees has just launched the Cyber Commander, which is a consumer grade radio controlled flash trigger. If all those technicalities confuse you, this camera attachment allows you to control your flash devices from afar. And not only that, the commander interacts with AlienBees Cybersync receivers so you can adjust power output levels using a graphic interface on top of the camera and group sets of lights together using real names instead of just confusing numbers (read: total control from where you’re standing). You can even save your setups on Micro SD cards. Operating on the 2.4GHz band, AlienBees claim up to 400 feet of range, and since these use radio signals, you don’t need line-of-site to use them. $180, coming soon to a camera store near you.
