Les Shu - Digital Camera Reviews
We are not hardcore photography professionals, nor are we distracted teenagers at the local mega-mart. We aren't trying to impress you with our command of functionality you'll never use, or trying to sell you something you don't need. Rather, we're knowledgable, passionate users of digital cameras in every shape, size, format, and OS. From simple pockets cams to the new-fangled mirrorless micro 4/3rds to professional DSLRs to revolutionary ideas like the Lytro, we test them the same way you use them. If you're looking for comprehensive reviews written in a language you can understand, look no further. If you want to be bombarded by specs, move along.
