Aug 9, 2012 11:20 AM   We recently reviewed AViiQ's line of ribbon-style USB adapter cables, but found that what made them most unique—their flat cable design—also made them difficult to use. So we couldn't recommend the cables, but maybe the convenience of this new triple-headed all-in-one design might make this cable worth carrying. It features the exact same flat ribbon design of AViiQ's previous cables, but incorporates a rotating head on the end opposite the USB connector—giving you Apple dock connector, miniUSB, and microUSB options all in a single cable. With an introductory price of $24, it's actually cheaper than buying all three of these cables in a set. But just remember that it will only let you charge a single device at a time—one of which may be obsolete soon—so choose wisely.

Jul 24, 2012 11:40 AM   If you're not blown away by the selection of lenses available for your Sony NEX or Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera, Kipon has just announced its own adapter that lets photographers use older Canon EF mount lenses, complete with electronic aperture control. Kipon's adapter isn't the first to offer such functionality—Metabones has one that's been on back-order for ages, but it only works with Sony's NEX mirrorless cameras. Kipon's offering will work with Micro Four Thirds cameras as well, like the Olympus PEN E-P2, but currently a lot of other questions are left unanswered. Will it support other electronic functionality like autofocus or image stabilization? Can Canon's newer EF-S mount lenses also be used (with some compromises)? And most importantly, when will the adapter be available and will it be cheaper than Metabone's $400 solution?
