Digital Cameras 101

TWIT network's Know How video channel recently featured an episode on how Digital Cameras work.  Pretty good for people who know nothing about how cameras work or what the Tv, Av, S modes mean on their DSLR.

 

I recommend the following cameras for beginners that want to get into serious photography:

Canon EOS Rebel T4i Digital SLR Camera Kit with Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Lens

Panasonic - LUMIX G5 161-Megapixel Digital Compact System Camera with 14-42mm Lens

Nikon D3200 24.2 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm NIKKOR VR Lens, Black & Nikon 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED AF-S DX VR II Vibration Reduction Lens USA

Free Test Drive of ThinkTank Photo Retrospective Camera Bags

This is one of those rare opportunities to test drive a fantastic photographer designed messenger style camera bag. 

I'm a huge fan of think tank photo camera bags, but have never quite made the jump to try their messenger style bags simply because I still cannot make my mind on which size to get. Now, I can order multiple sizes, try them all out, and return everything but the one that I feel fits my current gear set up.  

No risk!

GPS Portable Navigation Game Changer

I honestly do not know why it took soooo long for this to happen.  The last time someone tried something like this they closed shop in 2009 so I ended up with a very expensive brick (Dash Express Two-Way Internet-Connected Portable GPS Navigator).  I loved that device, but the monthly fees probably killed it among other things.  Too bad, it had the best traffic updates ever - real live traffic updates.

The Anti-Samsung Phone

I'm not a huge fan of Samung's plastic feeling phones, and if you aren't either you should consider what many call the best iPhone competitor, the HTC One.

Here is a bit of their design story:
