Apr 2nd 2012 - 0 comments

With the recent camera releases (or maybe Spring fever) I?ve been rather amazed watching various photography forums have major melt downs during the last few weeks. I said something about cameras and lenses just being tools, not life and death, and got immediately annihilated. They aren?t just tools, I was told, they are the means [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/45/04/47/450447.jpeg[/IMG]

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1 Review

by NS_Photography
Apr 1st 2012 - 0 comments

This is how I see the game these days: Compact digicams are the family/personal cameras used by almost everyone.
