reviews of photography hardware or software.
-
A

Luong's compendium of information and reviews. Includes some excellent
historical information and reviews and comparisons of older equipment

-
Photography
Review.com: readers
post reviews of photography equipment. A must-read if you are thinking
of buying the latest equipment.
-
- Digital
Photography Review (DPReview.com): A great site
for reviews and information about the lasted digital cameras and scanners.
- Imaging
Resource: Another
great site for reviews of digital stuff. These guys seem to do nothing
all day but tinker with digital toys!

Picture
This: Carol
Leigh's site at CalPhoto.com contains lots of tips for nature photography
and message boards reporting on wildflowers and fall foliage.
-
Graflex.Org:
This is the ultimate site for
anyone who is using or is interested in the old Graflex cameras.
The site contains information about the history of the company and
the cameras and accessories. There is also a useful list of stores
and dealers who sell used photo equipment.
-
The
Luminous Landscape:
Michael Reichman's website provide useful
tips on landscape photography and detailed product reviews.
-
The
Digital Darkroom:
Ian Lyons website provides detailed product
reviews, Photoshop tips, and useful links.
-
Photorama:
This is a link to their "Links" page. There are so many
links on it that I could not begin to copy them all.
-
-
Gitzo:
This
is another sources for information about these ridiculously overpriced
tripods. Remember, carbon fibre is just a fancy name for plastic!
-
Kodak:
The official Kodak site. It doesn't look
like they have much interest in selling film anymore. Even Kodak
has gone digital!
-
Olympus:
The official Olympus site. They use a flash
introduction so try not to be startled.
-
Lowepro:
They make the best camera bags and backpacks.
The website is full of pictures and information about their products.
The only problem is that their product lines tend to be redundant,
so it is difficult to choose.
-
Nikon:
They
don't provide as much information as I would like to see on their
website, but you can sometimes download the specifications for their
products in pdf format.
Stores:
These are on-line stores that I recommend.
-
B&H
Photo: O.K.,
so these guys close early on Fridays and they are not open on Saturdays
or Jewish holidays and they are curt on the phone, but they stock
every piece of photographic equipment available. You name it, they've
got it. The prices are good and the service is very reliable.
-
Calumet:
Their prices are unreasonable,
so if you can find what they are selling anyplace else, you will
get a better deal. However, their catalog provides detailed information
about the products, and their proprietary products are very good.
