Innovation
in the photographic industry has traditionally taken place at the high
end of the market. Manufacturers typically invest in research and development
to perfect new technologies that are unveiled in pro-oriented products
before “filtering down” to cameras and accessories targeted
at the hobbyist and the general consumer. That was certainly the case
in the silver-halide era, and is still true in today’s digital world,
although there are increasingly exceptions to be found. One example of
mass-market products leading the way is the recent trend for camera companies
to introduce point-and-and-shoot digicams with higher resolution that
some of the more advanced digital SLRs in their product line. |

For some shooting situations requiring artificial light, smaller systems
are sufficient. But there are times when heavy-duty lighting gear
is required. That’s when it may be time to take a look at equipment
from a company like Broncolor, which is distributed in the US by Sinar
Bron. They recently loaned us a complete single-light studio setup
and a separate Ringflash, with its own power pack, for review. The
studio setup consisted of the Minicom 40 self-contained strobe head,
the Umbrella Para 170 FB, and the Senior stand. The Ringflash was
powered by a Topas A2 power pack. The individual components were tested
to make sure they were working before everything was put together.
Everything worked right out of the box. |

![]() Some cameras are becoming more like multimedia devices, with wireless sending now become part of even point and shoot digital cameras. Does having extra "connectivity" options make it more likely that you would choose one camera model over another? Please comment briefly on how you share your images with family, friends and associates. |
