AlienBees has just launched the Cyber Commander, which is a consumer grade radio controlled flash trigger.  If all those technicalities confuse you, this camera attachment allows you to control your flash devices from afar.  And not only that, the commander interacts with AlienBees Cybersync receivers so you can adjust power output levels using a graphic interface on top of the camera and group sets of lights together using real names instead of just confusing numbers (read: total control from where you’re standing).  You can even save your setups on Micro SD cards.  Operating on the 2.4GHz band, AlienBees claim up to 400 feet of range, and since these use radio signals, you don’t need line-of-site to use them.  $180, coming soon to a camera store near you.

The new PowerShot SX10 IS camera represents Canon’s first foray into the world of the 20x super-zoom, offering a lens equivalent to a massive 28-560mm focal length. Everything from wide-angle landscapes and group portraits at the wide end to unobtrusive candid snaps and wildlife shots at the telephoto can be covered with ease by the SX10. As you’d expect,Canon have included image stabilisation to help ensure that the majority of your shots are sharp, plus there are Ultrasonic Motor (USM) and Voice Coil Motor (VCM) technologies that promise fast, accurate and quiet zooming and focusing. The 10 megapixel PowerShot SX10 IS also features Canon’s new DIGIC 4 processor, full HD movie capture, full manual control over both aperture and shutter speed, a 2.5” vari-angle LCD II and an electronic viewfinder. Priced at £359.99 / €469.99 / $399.99, Gavin Stoker discovered if the Canon PowerShot SX10 IS can compete with the likes of the Olympus SP-570UZ and Casio EX-FH20.
