DSLR or Not - Or Where I've Come From
I'm neither for nor against DSLRs, though I've noticed that there is/has

perspective, I'd like to outline why I have (perhaps a...

Indeed.
It's sad that he hasn't any friends at all, which means he has to show the

If video replaces still cameras

And, if alive today, would he use (say) a 5Mpx digital camera or choose a
15Mpx digital camera?
