So, every year I get asked, “What’s the best camera to buy for $X.XX?” Not by one or two people, but by DOZENS. As the Holiday season approaches, especially Black Friday, I’ll get at least 2 camera questions per day. As such, this year I have decided to place all my camera recommendations as a blog post VERY EARLY this year. Feel free to pass the link around and his the jump for the goods.

Lens Review: Nikon 80-200 f/2.8
In the world of Nikon telephoto zooms there is a juggernaut that looms above all else … the coveted 70-200 f/2.8 VR. With a retail price of over $2000.00 USD, it is often out of reach for a majority of advanced amateurs.

However, there is a second option that many people overlook simply because the Nikon world has moved on to the 70-200 f/2.8 … that option is the tried and true 80-200 f/2.8 AF-D. After the jump I’ll review this under-the-radar option. Read more…

iPhone Photo Processing Suite Review
Nearly every camera these days has a built in camera. Until a few years ago these cameras were … well, lets be honest here, they SUCKED. Then the cameras began to get better and better, especially in the iPhone. Now, it seems everyone is shooting from their cameras, some try to produce fine art, others prefer the 365 style projects. Until recently, if you wanted to post process these images it required that you uploaded them into the computer from your phone. Now, there are literally hundreds of apps for the iPhone to help you take better pictures, as well as post process them right in the phone. Today’s review is going to target two of the more well known ones, Chase Jarvis’ Best Camera (BC) and Photoshop.com Mobile (PSM or Photoshop Mobile). Hit the Jump for the full story …. Read more…
