I’m sure I’m not the only photography enthusiast that has run into this problem. It’s nice to always carry a camera around with you but when it is a behemoth like my Canon 1D, slipping it in a pocket isn’t an option and carrying a camera bag around i...
The EX1 is a good camera with some minor flaws. There are a few interface issues but nothing particularly annoying. The dual stabilization mode is a nice idea but mostly unnecessary. However, the problem is the price puts it to close to the range of c...

There's a lot to like in the TL500, though mainly for raw shooters, as the JPEGs are over managed. The controls are recognizable and straightforward. The display is gloriously bright and easy to see, plus the swivel is exceedingly useful (plus it prote...
