This week, Photography Bay has teamed up with Adorama to give away a Flashpoint Glow ParaPop 28″ Softbox.
The Glow ParaPop 28 brings the ease and quality of the very successful Glow HexaPop line to Flashpoint studio and large portable strobes, featuring flattering, soft and rich color lighting with all the great advantages of the softbox/umbrella blend.

I got my hands on the new Canon Rebel T6s and have had it out a time or two now for some casual photography. My early thoughts on this camera is that it is a fantastic option for the budget-enthusiast and aspiring vacation photographer.

Sigma Corporation of America revealed last week that the Sigma dp0 Quattro will be available in late July for $999.
The Sigma dp0 Quattro was announced earlier this year and features a 29MP Foveon X3 Quattro sensor and 14mm f/4 lens. As expected, the $999 price point matches that of the Sigma dp1 Quattro and dp2 Quattro.
Pre-order info for the Sigma dp0 Quattro should be available soon here at B&H Photo.
The Canon 5DS is now shipping in large quantity and remains in stock for the time being. If you pre-ordered the camera, it should be on its way to you. And, if you still want to pick one up, it looks like there is enough stock to go around. Check it out here at B&H Photo.
The Canon 5DS R should be shipping soon but is, as yet, not listed in stock. Check it out here at B&H Photo.
