I’ve been excited about micro four thirds cameras since olympus made their teaser announcement last year. The EP-1 didn’t excite me much as it’s slow to AF and not a great looking camera to me (I’m not big into retro anything). I’ve also been on the fence because this is moving to an even smaller […]

I guess it’s about time I make it official and put a shot/post about this on the gear blog. I’ve officially switched to Nikon. When my 5Dii drowned in August I realized I could use that opportunity to try a D700. It’s the camera I wish canon would make, but they refuse to for whatever reason. It […]

I picked up a canon s90 the other night at Best Buy as a band aid on the whole video thing. I think it’ll do OK with videos for now, but we’ll see. BB had ~10 hidden under the counter, the gal didn’t even know they were there. I’d called earlier and just read them a sku […]

Well, Adorama finally got LX3s back in stock again. I actually ordered this almost 2 months ago (I ordered it late January). I’m somewhat torn as to even opening it. I had my samsung NV-10 which was a terrible P&S but it did what I needed a P&S to do. But it broke skiing (pushed […]

yeah, I know I know, why the hell do I need another camera right? But these things have been calling my name since I’d seen them in the back of NG adventurer a year or so ago… And they finally made a wide version (instead of the rumored wide angle adapter) so how could I […]

After selling the 70-200 f4 IS this week I turned that money right into some things I’ve been considering for a while now: Sigma 20mm f/1.8 EX DG Kata 3n1-30 sling bag/backpack GoPro 5 wide motorsport kit w/ bike kit The sigma will be interesting to play with. My 24L is my most used lens […]

Hard to beleive, but I’m selling my beloved 5D. I’ve owned it for 18 months and put 10k images through it. I love this camera, don’t get me wrong, but with the new 5Dii announced yesterday, I’m selling this now before the used market is too saturated. I’m asking $1750 for it and that includes […]

ugh… What to do… I’ve sold the leica. I’ve sold the G9 (to my Mom). I’m now cameraless except for the DSLRs… I’m looking for something small and compact and easy to use… So what am I looking at? RANGEFUNDERS!!!! 😆 Yeah, as in film cameras… Remember those? Anyway, I’m looking at a few options […]

Well I sold the leica a few weeks ago and was planning on waiting for the new P&Ss at photkina in september… But then I found out about canon’s loyalty program. If you have an old non working canon camera, you call them and you get a few options in terms of refurbished cameras for […]

Panasonic announced a new P&S I’m very interested in. It’s the Lumix DMC-LX3 which is an update to the LX2. The LX2 is the pannasonic version of my Leica D-Lux 3… It’s improvements are LESS MP, a LARGER sensor and a 24-60mm f/2.0 lens. So I’d lose a tad on the long end, but I’d […]

With the sale of the 1D, I purchase a 40D. I feel it’s a better second body for me. I owned the 1D because I’ve always wanted to get into sports photography (skiing, sailing and snowboarding). To me I needed a 1 series because I needed to be able to do sequences in order to […]

The time has come to sell my 1D. I picked this up used when I sold my 1DmII because I felt that I “needed” a sports camera. Part of me has always wanted to be a sports photographer (skiing, snowboarding and sailing) so having a sports specific body is nice. I shoot it occasionally for […]
