I posted briefly about the Lightscoop just a few days ago and today I received a review unit from them to test out and I am just floored by the quality of light I am getting off of this relatively cheap camera flash accessory.
I am planning a full review of the Lightscoop real soon, but for now, just look at the difference that this $35 add-on does for an SLR’s on-camera flash. It’s incredible! The top photo was taken WITH the Lightscoop and the photo below is taken with direct on-camera flash.
Stay tuned for the full review soon.

Western Digital announced today an update to their Passport Studio line of external harddrives for the Mac that include a FireWire 800 connection for ultra-fast transfers. The drive still comes with the traditional USB connection, but the addition of the FireWire port should be a good thing for people who handle big files on a regular basis. Western Digital is catering this drive to digital video professionals and photographers mostly, but that’s not to say that you can’t transer other types of big files (say, full DVD rips in a flash).
Anyway, if you’re looking for a drive with FireWire support, you’ll probably want the biggest drive possible anyway, so the 500GB version is available now for $250. Not bad, not bad. I’d like one.

When I first saw the specs on the MacBook Air, I was willing to sacrifice an optical drive (SuperDrive) for the laptop’s ultra-thin body.
At this moment, I still am willing to give up the built-in SuperDrive, but it’s nice to know that Apple is making an external MacBook Air SuperDrive for $99. You know, for when I actually get a MacBook Air and need to read a CD/DVD in the middle of the desert. Cool.
