Lenovo, over at CES, has introduced the Vibe Xtension Selfie Flash. The Selfie Flash attaches to the 3.5mm jack of the smartphone and provides a continuous light rather than just a flash. Lenovo claims that the Selfie Flash has a rechargeable battery that lasts 100 selfies -- so as long as you don't take 100 snaps of your face then it could very well last you one whole day on a single charge. At $29 or approximately Php1,300, the Vibe Xtension Selfie Flash will be available on Lenovo's website. Staying true to their words, Phottix has released a Nikon version of the Strato TTL Flash Trigger two months after its long-delayed debut. The Nikon version of the said trigger has all the bells and whistles of its Canon counterpart which includes support for wireless TTL, High-Speed Sync (HSS) and Flash Exposure Compensation (FEC) just to mention a few. Sadly, all the limitations that come with the Strato TTL Flash Trigger are also present in this model. Some of the more pressing drawbacks include the lack of pass-through hot shoe on the transmitter and the trigger’s inability to adjust the external flash’s power, ratio and zoom.
