I don't profess to knowing everything about photography, but I truly enjoy sharing what I do know ... As we enter 2010, my plan is to continue the momentum

As many of you know, last year I began carrying a Canon SD780IS point-and-shoot camera with me everywhere I go. The reason I started doing this is to always have a decent quality camera with me to be able to capture shots that I would normally miss by not having my SLR or G11 nearby ...

After seeing this, I took a few steps to the right and knelt down at

But it's still important and impressive ... The Kindle's economics are still lousy for Amazon: The company loses money on new releases and makes only a modest

Published Dec. 25, 2009 at 6:44 p.m.

Boasting an ability to support interchangeable lenses and image sensors, this one offers up flexibility that few other shooters on the market can match. We've scrounged up a litany of reviews and hands-on impressions, and by and large, most everyone who got their hands around one enjoyed the experience ... Photography Blog noted that the camera was "a remarkably mature first-generation
