Sony Announces Fastest Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo HX

By

Sony’s new Memory Stick is its fastest ever made, chalking up data transfer rates of 50MB/s.  Sony claims the new Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo HX is faster than the fastest UHS-I SD cards when used in Sony cameras.  However, I’m not aware of any Sony cameras that are UHS-I compliant in the first place.

The new 50MB/s Memory Sticks should be available this May at the same prices of the previous generation cards in 8GB, 16GB and 32GB flavors.  Look for them at B&H Photo.

Deal Alert: Canon 60D + Magic Bullet Bundle for $849.99

By

B&H has a killer deal right now on the Canon 60D for only $849.99, which is the best legit price I’ve seen.  The 60D kit with 18-135mm lens also dropped by $150 off retail down to $1106.99.

Both deals include a special B&H bundle of Red Giant Software, which is made up of Magic Bullet Quick Looks 1.2, Magic Bullet Grinder, Magic Bullet PhotoLooks 1.5 and Knoll Light Factory for Photoshop.  The Red Giant bundle alone would cost almost $500 to order direct from Red Giant.

 

Deal Alert: Lightroom 3 for $179.99

By

Right now, you can get Lightroom 3 from Amazon for $179.99. For those unaware, Lightroom 3 is a RAW image processing program that makes life working with RAW files so much easier.  It also carries a hefty retail price of $300, so getting it for $180 is a real bargain.

If I could only have one photo editing program, this would be it.  Here’s the link to the Amazon.com deal page.
