From Canon to Sony : Lenses
The move from one camera system to another comes not without some trepidation. It’s not the investment in camera bodies – they start out expensive and rapidly decrease in value.

Photography is changing…
This is really a blog post for me. It’s going to get updated as and when I feel like it. Read, and comment as you please. I suspect it will get picked up in Google searches on this theme… I’ve made the leap, and possibly into interminable darkness. After many years of being a loyal…

Time expired camera?
So, barely two weeks after the expiration of the two year warranty my Canon G7 camera has died; wholly unresponsive despite a fully charged battery.
