Canon Over Took Sony According to BCN

By Louis Ferreira | Published: December 6, 2024



According to BCN Canon overtook Sony in Japan for the first time taking in 30.5% of the market. This is the first time Canon has topped the sales charts in five months since May 2024. Canon’s momentum was thanks to Canon EOS R50 and EOS R10 sales.

Sony barely missed the top spot coming in at 30% which the Sony ZV-E10II and the continuation of strong sales of the Sony a7CII largely drove. From there Nikon came in third with 14.5% of the market, followed by others like Panasonic, Olympus, Ricoh, Pentax, etc… with 14.3%, and finally Fujifilm with 10.7% coming in 4th over all.

New Profoto B3 and D30 Announced

By Louis Ferreira | Published: December 4, 2024


Profoto is updating its speed lights with the announcement of the D30 at the end of October and the B3 today. There are lots of mono-light options today, but Profoto is the Cadillac of lights.

Profoto Pro-B3: B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama
Introducing Profoto Pro-B3
Profoto proudly presents the Pro-B3, a groundbreaking 750ws battery flash designed to meet the demands of the world’s best action and extreme sports photographers. With its heavy-duty casing and industrial grade components, it is engineered for photographers who are dedicated to capture professional images in the most remote and challenging locations.

Power and flexibility
The Pro-B3 delivers an impressive 750Ws of pure battery-driven flash power, providing more than enough lighting strength to create any effect, regardless of where your work takes you. But the Pro-B3 doesn’t stop there. It also offers fast recycling times ranging from 0.02 to 2.2 seconds, and an extremely short flash duration down to 1/75,000s for capturing crisp action shots without motion blur. “The unique combination of features that the Pro-B3 brings ensures that you will always get that perfect shot, says Göran Marén, Product Manager.”

Reliability and creative freedom
Profoto’s extensive and portable light shaping system is fully compatible with the Pro-B3, giving photographers limitless creative options. Additionally, the Pro-B3 is equipped with TTL and HSS for seamless integration with your camera.

The Pro-B3 is designed with the professional action and sports photographer in mind. It features a high-capacity Li-Ion battery, ensuring that you never miss a shot. The flash unit also boasts a robust, rubberized housing and high-quality components, like the user interchangeable quartz flash tubes and long-life capacitors. “The Pro-B3 has been designed and built to withstand years and years of professional use, continues Göran Marén, Product Manager.”

Its intuitive user interface and large, high-resolution display make it easy to operate, even in the most challenging conditions. “The whole idea with the Pro-B3 is that it’s only the imagination of the photographer that should set the limits for what you can do creatively, not the gear, concludes Göran Marén, Product Manager.”


Profoto Pro-D30: B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama
Introducing D30
In today’s dynamic world of professional photography, photographers encounter a wide range of assignments requiring versatile and reliable equipment. Profoto now introduces the Profoto D30 monolight to rise to this challenge; it adapts to any scenario — whether it’s portraiture in the morning, fashion by lunch, or product photography at night.

The Profoto D30 monolight is a testament to the power of adaptability, seamlessly fitting into the professional photographers’ multifaceted reality and adapting to your needs both in and out of the studio. Its mains-powered operation ensures uninterrupted shooting sessions. It has a fast recycling time, a bi-color LED modeling light, and a flash power of 500 Ws over 11 f-stops. The D30 empowers photographers with precise control over the lighting conditions, even with the largest of modifiers, enhancing the quality of their work.

The D30 has three distinct flash modes to choose between; ECO for color consistency and increased equipment lifetime, Boost for extra power, and Freeze for the shortest flash duration and elimination of motion blur. Flexibility and quality are guaranteed in every shot.

Its sturdy yet lightweight design ensures easy setup and portability. The D30 combines productivity and creativity in one, no matter what challenge that lies ahead.“With Profoto D30, we wanted to reshape professional studio lighting. Could a strobe with this speed, consistency, robustness, and capabilities really be this compact, lightweight, and simple to set up? Yes, it can!” – Göran Marén, Product Owner.
