Last week we shared some stunning photos of “Firefall,” the phenomenon that occurs in Yosemite during the last 2 weeks of February each year, when the Sun lines up just perfectly with Horsetail Fall on El Capitan to make it look like glowing lava.

While photos of “Firefall” have been spreading around the world, it’s not often that you see what the... more

Sigma has announced a more powerful external flash for DSLRs, the EF-630. It updates the existing EF-610 flash units by covering a 24mm to 200mm focal range (as wide as 17mm with the built-in Wide Panel), with an auto zooming function. Based on Sigma's naming conventions it's safe to assume the EF-630 offers a guide number of 63. It's also able to tilt upward by 90, left/right by 180 and downward by 7. It offers TTL exposure control, high-speed sync and slave mode for use with other... more

Three's company

Are compact cameras still relevant? Nikon seems to think they can be, if they're good enough. It's announced three premium compacts, all built around 20.8MP 1"-type BSI CMOS sensors, with its latest 'EXPEED 6A' processor. If that sensor spec sounds familiar, it's because the Nikon J5 uses a very similar...probably the same...one.
