Digital Photography Review

Reviews from PC World.com

LuminousLandscape.com. A good unbiased site for digital camera information and hands on testing. This site does not accept advertisements and thus can remain independent in reporting. It does tend towards Canon equipment.

Photozone:  Great site for user generated quantitative feedback on the evaluation of camera equipment.

B&H Photo: The largest and most ethical equipment site. Good prices
and outstanding selection of equipment.

Atlex:  The place to order low cost printing supplies such as paper and ink. Their paper selection includes stuff that is not available locally.

The Book Loft: Our local bookstore in Solvang has it's own photography section! These books aren't currently listed in their web site, but the shop is just around the corner for us.

Techniques and Education:

Need handy-dandy tips for the burgeoning artist in you?
