One of the key location for these boat races is Lake Havasu on the borders of California, Arizona and Nevada. Come to find out that Pierre spends his winters... Read Full Story

I was looking at upgrading my computer system. I received many comments, all praising their platform of choice. Mac ot PC? Well...last year... Read Full Story
Rumors and rumors...will Pentax introduce a mirorless camera?

Published to Digital Cameras
Email: brqyvn@gmail.com   Hi Photographer friends,   There are plenty of rumours going around the internet about an upcoming Pentax mirrorless digital camera. First of all, why describing a camera with what it doesn't have, "mirrorless camera" because it doesn't use a mirror? Why not describe a new camera "tiresless" because it doesn't have any tires, "Gazless camera" because it doesn't run on gaz! My opinion doesn't have a lot of influence on naming cameras, but I hope the leading... Read Full Story

Email: brqyvn@gmail.com The "One Camera, One Lens" applies for all makes, Pentax, Canon, Nikon, you name it. I own Pentax equipment and therefore I show Pentax equipment on this blog. Hi Photographer friends, Have you compared  2012 prices of lenses to just a few years ago? Lenses have become more expensive than ever.
