Panasonic along with Japanese provider Softbank has just announced the 101P in Japan ( due post November ). Using the 13.2 CMOS Lumix sensor found in their point and shoot cameras, and packing a […]

Digital cameras are great. They’re convenient, fun, and are becoming idiot-proof. Then the Fuji X100 came into my life and I realized just how lazy and dependent on technology I’ve been when taking snapshots. How did this happen? I have a love-hate thing with digital cameras. First, the technology keeps advancing that lures me into

Lens cap covers are a necessary evil. They protect my DSLR camera’s lens when I’m not using the camera, but they are so easy to lose. I’ve resorted to buying those keepers that you glue on to the cap and attach to the camera strap with an elastic band. You don’t lose the lens cap
