I sold my Canon G12 and 40D for a Canon T2i. Below are some pictures from around the house. The main reason I ditched the other two for this one: the video quality, and a more up to date sensor for my back-up. The 40D was always great, but it didn’t have video and it was [...]

Selling a camera, fyi
By jOe in Announcements, Gear, TechnologyI just put my Canon G12 on craig’s list. So, if you’re interested write me in the comments or call me, I’m thinking it might go kind of fast.
