Behold, the backside of a Nikon D5000. One of my favorite cameras. Released about a year or so ago, this camera packs 720p video capture, 12 MP's, articulating LCD, and all the quality that comes with a Nikon and equally awesome Nikkor lenses.
Bias? You betcha arse, I am. Nikon continues to be one of my favorite (if not pricier) D-SLR lines.
So, it caught me off guard when I saw a couple..... [ read more ]

Rugged cameras used to be big, bulky and usually built to look like if a Hummer and a pocket-point-n-shoot cam had off-spring.
Scary, but true.
They all did the job, but were usually 40%-50% thicker and bulkier than a point-n-shoot of the same caliber. They all cost more too. Sure you could sometimes get a plastic enclosure for your pocket shooter. They..... [ read more ] Mar 24
Before reading this review, you should know two things. 1) I don't own this camera, nor did I get a sample unit to test. 2) I might just be the slightest bit bias when it comes to FujiFilm. My very first camera was a FujiFilm and I still have it the stellar 35mm pocket cam today.
All that being said, these impressions are all from our extensive hands-on..... [ read more ] Mar 02
Most of us weekend photographers have our needs met by 95% of the point-and-shoots out today. They're quick and will likely have the shutter speeds and F-stops that meet almost all of our needs.
As our photography bug digs in even more, almost 100% of our needs are met by entry level or slightly less professional (pro-sumer) D-SLR's. Really. Rarely are we going to need to spend..... [ read more ] Feb 08

This is the funniest article I've read this week and it's totally worth sharing (besides it being Fish-Head Bucket Friday).
If you've never owned an D-SLR, thinking about it, or have one now, this funny article written by photographer with blogging skills, Dennis Hays, will make you cry, relate, and laugh all at the same time.
We won't summarize it for you as that won't be as funny as..... [ read more ] Feb 03
