Fujifilm X-T1 Infrared Edition – The flagship shooter from Fujifilm gets another upgrade that is typically invisible to the human eye. The X-T1 has been long touted as the high-end shooter to beat. With it’s EXR Processor II, a max ISO range of 25,600, and a weather-resistant shell, the X-T1 provided excellent pictures in a small form-factor. The latest editions remove the IR filter on the processor and coats it with an anti-reflective layer so that the camera is capable of picking up the Infrared field. This will prove especially useful for crime scene investigators, along with scientists who work in a different technical spectrum.

Underwood Wines In A Can – I’m almost certain Underwood got their wine in the can idea from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The gang snuck booze in old soda cans, and that’s exactly what Underwood is doing here. In lieu of the traditional glass bottles and cork tops, the cans are a versatile way to enjoy your vino year round. The aluminum cans of wine arrive in Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, or Rosé .
