Focus on Imaging 2011 show video reports

[DPNow]

Here is a summary or excerpt from an article that has just been published on DPNow:

Each year we normally return from the first day of the annual Focus on Imaging show, the UK's largest photography products expo, and publish a gallery of photos taken on the day of all the exhibits. This year we decided to make some video instead.

One thing that was pleasing to see (and covered in my video) was the return of Pentax, complete with the 645D medium format camera.

Did anyone from here go besides the prodigal Ash?

One thing I spotted in the video at 8:53 was a Phottix Hector remote live view. As this is something I'm currently interested in, I was wondering if you happend to see any other Remote LiveView/Control systems at the show.

There are several of these such as the Hahnel, Pixel, Yongnuo with WiFi/Bluetooth as well as wired connections providing for a great solution to the alternative viewfinder.

Any reviews of these likely in the future

Yes, I actually mis-narrated that as I'm more familiar with Phottix as a remote flash trigger company

I will certainly look at this
