The SLR Camera: Then and Now
2008-04-05 02:20:00 I?m constantly amazed by the things we create. Advances in technology continue to accelerate at an astonishing rate ? digital cameras are no exception.

Most film photographers I?ve encountered prefer to use outdated equipment; analog cameras from decades past. Why is this? And is the equipment really outdated? Do these cameras have any substantial benefits over the latest pieces of technology? Let?s find out. More About: Camera , Equipment

In total, these steps should take no more than 10 minutes of your time, even if you have several hundred files to work with. More About: Features , File , Guide
