Quantum Instruments Inc.

Quantum Instruments Inc., of Hauppauge, New York, is introducing to the crowded camera market three new professional flash products, as well as numerous new accessories and upgrades. This marks the largest one-time line expansion in the company’s history making it an essential supplier of professional photographic instruments:

NEW Qnexus  When mounted to Quantum’s new-generation Qflash 5d-R flash units, this ingenious receiver/decoder “reads” wireless TTL signals directly from Canon and Nikon shoe mount master flashes. It integrates multiple high-power Qflash 5d-R’s into Canon or Nikon wireless TTL systems where they act as dedicated, full-function remotes controlled totally from the camera’s flash menu. Qnexus supports all Canon and Nikon wireless flash functions including Manual, Automatic, TTL and TTL-Ratio.

NEW Qflash 5d-R - is the latest evolution in Quantum’s proven Qflash portable flash line. The new 5d-R series used with Quantum’s FreeXwire digital radio system, now support wireless control of all dedicated camera-flash functions—Manual, TTL, Auto, Auto-fill and TTL-Ratio—up to 500 ft. away!

NEW Turbo Slim Compact  A new, ultra-lightweight, ultra-slim, ultra-compact addition to Quantum’s popular Turbo battery line.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2

The new version of the Panasonic Lumix, the DMC-LX2 (the LX1'S flaws seems to be fixed).
16.9 LCD widescreen that matches the sensor, ups the pixel count to 10.2 megapixels and upgrades the processor to the latest Venus Engine III.

Minor enhacements to the control interface has been added and a new (low resolution) ISO 3200 mode.

This is a great cammera to buy for families and non photography professionals. I think they could make it a lot better, but they can continue improving the saga and release a LX3 anytime soon.
