Youtu GShot Yt21

The thing goes by the name GShot Yt21 and is made by a firm called Youtu. The clue about it is that it’s not only a wireless flash trigger, but also an IR remote for your Canon or Nikon camera. And on top of this, it’s also damned cheap, coming in at a mere US-$ 25 for a pair. The hard specs include a 200 m (650 ft) range, grouping capability (with a maximum of three groups), flash wake-up, and an operation frequency of 2.4 GHz. The GShot Yt21 runs on convenient AAA batteries and can both receive and transmit signals. According to SLR Lounge the GShot Yt21 is available via eBay, but we were unable to find it.

Did Canon Miss the Memo That Says Mirrorless Lenses Are Meant to Be Smaller?

When Canon introduced their new Mirrorless cameras earlier on this year (The EOS R) one of the stand out features was that the lens mount was so huge. While other manufacturers like Sony have made all things Mirrorless smaller, the late comer to the Mirrorless party seems to have decided that bigger is better. In a recently released interview, Canon engineers seem to be having a sly dig at Sony by saying that lenses with smaller mounts are far less capable than those with larger mounts. Read on after the break to find out more about what the Canon engineers are wafting on about.

The New Nikon P1000 Has a 125x Optical Zoom with a Laughable 1/2.3 inch Sensor for $999.95

Today, for some odd reason, the Nikon P1000 point and shoot camera is being announced. Odd, you ask? The fact that it is a point and shoot isn’t such a big issue at all; but the fact that it’s a superzoom camera being marketed as one with a 125x optical zoom is what’s insane. Kudos to Nikon for being able to do something like this; but then you read the fine print (or in this case, print that’s not even in the press release) and see the bait and switch–this Nikkor lens is having its potential wasted by being placed in front of a 1/2.3 inch sensor.
