Greetings From PhotoPlus, Part I

Your intrepid traveler DV Dude ventured into the heart of Gotham yesterday to visit the PhotoPlus Expo. PhotoPlus is a photo trade show open to the public, and all the big names (Canon, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic) and many smaller names were exhibiting their wares to the throngs.  Being New York, lots of people crammed into a too small space.  Due to the timing, not a lot of new products to show,  so not much new to see.

First public showing in the U.S. of the upcoming Panasonic GH3 (due in December). Camera is much larger, heavier and sturdier than the GH2 it replaces, and looks very interesting.

Lowel was showing off this new prototype LED light that looks a lot like a cordless drill. Battery or AC powered, focus ability and dimmer control. 1/4" screw on the bottom to mount to light stands, clamps etc.  Aiming to ship this winter.

Ahh, 4K. You know you want one. DV Dude wants one too. Alas, DV Dude doesn't have the $25,000 to buy one. Glorious picture though.
