During the 3-day PhotoPlus Expo in New York, several exhibitors displayed their latest advances in photography technology. There were a massive array of cameras, lenses, printers, clothing, gear, gizmos and gadgets on display.

However, many of the latest introductions in technology were suitable for both sections, even though some may be too highly priced. Here are 3 outstanding innovations showcased at the PhotoPlus Expo. A more detailed list of products displayed can be found here.
