Western Digital Announces New Portable SSD External HD
SSD drives offer insanly high speed rates and much greater protection from shock and drops so it only makes sense to pick up some external high speed SSD drives for storing important files and for using as working drives. I have personally been using the Samsung T3 series to allow me to edit video projects from my laptop on a drive the size of a thick credit card. These drives easily handle the speeds needed for 4k video editing and keep my data secured. Well now Western Digital wants in and I am stoked. Check out more information after the break.

Panasonic G85 Mirrorless Camera Announced
The Panasonic G85 takes off from where the G7 began resulting in an awesome camera option under $1000. The new camera keeps the 16MP micro 4/3 sensor and 4k video but adds weather sealing, new DFD AF system (contrast only), 5 Axis in body image stabilization, and 10fps shooting. As an owner of the current Panasonic G7, I can say that this is one of the most versatile cameras around. It has almost every spec I could ask for, solid ergonomics, and a reasonable price with many lens options. If you are looking for a great B camera for a more powerful system or a very capable all around shooter for under $1000, the G85 should definitely be on your buy list.
