If you look at a famous painting, you don't wonder what brand of brushes the now-decomposing artist used. Of course, if you go to a painters forum, you'll see passionate debates about which brand of brush to use.

Only a poor craftsperson blames their tools, but a good craftsperson will tend to get better results with better tools.

I'm primarily a film shooter, even though outside of photography, I'm quite "digital". My tastes in cameras are best described as somewhat idiosyncratic. I like to own reasonably priced cameras that can be made to produce excellent results.

New Canon A2100 IS and A1100 IS disappoint without manual exposure(via)
I agree with this assessment. An A-series Canon without manual modes is a piece of crap.
Canon PowerShot D10 waterproof camera. Waterproof is the new thin(via)
Remember what I said yesterday about waterproof being the new thin? Canon has an inherently waterproof digital camera now too.
Fujifilm introduces F200EXR with Super CCD EXR(via)
This is, in my opinion, a very welcome change on the part of Fuji. The Super CCD EXR sensor has been normally reserved for big cameras, not compact cameras, even though the benefits, especially in terms of being able to shoot a reasonable-dynamic-range or a pixel-binned 6 megapixel image on a 12 megapixel sensor are great, even for small cameras.
Fujifilm FinePix Z33 waterproof camera(via)
One of my co-workers just got herself a waterproof Olympus. The selling point was the lack of a silly plastic case that you'd have to put the camera in.

I suspect that inherently waterproof is the next thin.
