To say that the photo backpack category is a little crowded is like saying that a few people try to board the subways in Tokyo during rush hour. If you’ve ever been to the Land of the Rising Sun and attempted to take mass transportation around 1800 hours (6pm) you know what I mean. Hand-to-hand combat is easier, but probably no harder than trying to find a niche for a new product in this overpopulated photo accessory category.

Broncolor has introduced the Beautybox 65, a new take on its classic beauty dish. Joining broncolor's extensive line of light shapers, Beautybox 65 features a collapsible design, 25.6 inches front diameter and a white interior.

Corel introduced the new brush-based ParticleShop plugin for Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom today. ParticleShop's digital brushes are designed to spring, flow, gravitate and glow while adding eye-catching effects to your images.

Corel recently introduced the new Painter 2016, the latest version of their pro digital paint program. While Corel's Painter software is often used by fine artists and commercial designers, more and more photographers have been using the software to add artistic effects to their images.

Graava is a unique new video camera that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and built-in sensors to automatically edit your videos. Countless hours of video are shot every day and most of that footage goes to waste because most of us don’t have the time or the proper tools to edit it. Graava solves that problem because it was built to shoot seamlessly and edit the footage for us.

Nikon added three new lenses to its Nikkor arsenal tonight: the AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR, AF-S 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR, and the AF-S 24mm f/1.8G ED.

A few years back, while waiting for a beautiful but thoroughly flakey model in the parking lot of a restaurant near Liberty State Park, my boredom was interrupted by a black Lincoln Town Car that slipped suspiciously past me and parked a few spaces away. After several minutes, two men exited the sedan. They were wearing tuxedos and looked rather serious. The trunk lid popped open. Ignoring me completely, they rummaged through the trunk. One of the men removed his tux jacket and strapped on a large black holster. A moment later, the other did the same. I slid down in my seat, wondering if I was about to witness some weird reenactment of High Noon, right there in Jersey City.
