On occasion I’ll get asked about my preferences for workflow software, and it’s one of those questions where I know in advance that I won’t be able to give a satisfactory answer. The truth is, I use everything.

by Patrick on November 29, 2008

The Ricoh GX200 features a 12 megapixel sensor, a 2.7 inch LCD, and a 24-72mm zoom lens. Northlight-Images reviews it:

by Patrick on November 28, 2008

Michael Reichmann takes the Panasonic G1 on a field test and likes what he finds. I’ll admit I’m a bit surprised at just how much he likes it, but only because I assumed he’d by turned off by some of the consumerist aspects to the camera. He didn’t like the EVF all that much (or [...]
