Your one stop shop for everything photo-video
It’s World Photography Day this week. It’s an event which dates back to August 19th, 1839, and it’s a celebration of photography in all its forms. With the day soon approaching, maybe you want to treat yourself to a new gadget?
Or maybe you want to buy a little something for that special photographer in your life. Well, we’ve been going through the gear that we use and here are some of our favourite items that will definitely help to make any photographer’s life easier.
Crucial has launched two new super-fast X9 Pro (buy here) and X10 Pro (buy here) SSDs targeted directly at photographers, filmmakers and creators. The X10 Pro boasts lightning-fast 2,100MB/sec read speeds, and can transfer 1TB of data in just 9 minutes.
It attains these speeds by utilising USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 protocols. Confused about USB protocols? Essentially, this means only the latest bleeding-edge computers have it. But, it’s backwards compatible with standard USB 3.2 Gen 2 (and Gen 1).
I’ve been keeping a little bit of an eye on the current Amazon Prime Day deals, but not much has really stood out. At least, not when it comes to things of benefit to filmmakers and photographers. This deal, though, is very much in our domain. Amazon currently has 2TB Crucial SSD drives on pretty massive discount. Reduced from their typical $449 to only $319.
