Hasselblad X1D-50c Medium Format Mirrorless Digital
Hasselblad has announced the release of the X1D-50c, which it touts as the world's first mirrorless digital medium-format camera. Equipped with a 50MP 43.8 x 32.9mm CMOS sensor, built-in Wi-fi, dual SD card slots and an ISO rating ranging from 100-25600; the camera is weather- and dust-sealed. Since the electronic viewfinder obviates the need for a mirror, camera weight plunges and the body and lens are extremely portable. While Hasselbad will offer XCD 45mm and 90mm f/3.2 lenses; an H lens adapter is said to be in the works, so you can use Hasselblad's exquisite H-mount glass. High performance is not cheap, though: The body costs about US$9,000, or $11,300 with the XCD 45mm f3.5 lens.
Novesta, from Slovakia
Our story begins in the 1930s, when shoemaker Jan Antonin Bata opened a factory in the small town of Partizánske in the middle of Slovakia. His shoes, sold under the Novesta moniker, became one of the best-loved brands in Europe, and sneakers made by Novesta have started to make a splash globally, with recent bows at LA Fashion Week and Paris Men's Fashion Week. Check out the Star Master (with 25 colorways) and Star Dribble, said to be the most successful model of unisex sneakers in former Czechoslovakia. They're the perfect complement for straight-cut trousers, jeans or shorts. gonovesta.com
It's the globetrotter's lament: How to charge all your gadgets with but a single outlet. The makers of the PowerCube have crafted a versatile, elegant solution in the form of an adaptor that packs four outlets-as well as 2 USB charging slots–in a device that measures a slight 6.35 centimeters per side. A word of caution: The manufacturer says that the PowerCube comes with a surge protector, although what we can see looks more like a circuit breaker tripped if one of your devices draws too much power. +Christian Razukas
