Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
B&H has the Metz Mecablitz 52 AF-1 speedlight for Canon cameras for $249.99 (reg. $319.99) through March 2. This is an E-TTL / E-TTL II compatible speedlight with a 24-105mm zoom range and a rear touchscreen interface. Check it out here at B&H Photo.
B&H has the Lytro Illum Light Field Camera for $379.90 (reg. $499.90), which is way down from its original retail price of $1599 less than two years ago.
The Illum and its related consumer models made a lot of noise when they first came to market because of their ability to choose a point of focus after you took the photo. It is an impressive concept that never really took hold in the photo community but still offers some powerful options for creativity.
I imagine that stock is being cleared on this camera and when it’s gone, it will be gone for good. Check it out here at B&H Photo.
