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.
