Shopping

Two years ago, I bought a digital camera and “Oh, my goodness!” — I've taken almost 2,000 pictures since. My thirst for getting the most out of this marvelous invention which requires no film and allows me to alter the photos any way I please, sent me online in search of information. To my delight there are loads of sites devoted to this medium.
Photohighway.com
This is my favorite and it's updated weekly. Becoming a “member” (free of charge) gives you access to all the site has to offer including monthly contests where you can win all sorts of stuff, and online storage where you can upload and keep up to 50Mg of digitized photos. There are all sorts of reviews of relevant products from cameras to software, along with an evaluation of other photography-related websites.

Steves-digicams.com
This is my second most favorite place to visit every week. Get the latest breaking news on camera and accessory releases, plus detailed reviews featuring close-up images and specs. The “User Review” is a good way to see what ordinary people have to say about the equipment you’re considering.

Megapixel.net
This bilingual (English / French) monthly digital photography webzine provides reviews of the latest consumer cameras to hit the market. There are articles focusing on topics like photo paper and add-on lens, as well as tips about taking specific types of photos. The forums encourage you to ask questions or exchange ideas on pix, software or technical problems.
Dpcorner.com
This site is not updated very often but it’s a good place to start, for beginners new to digital photography. Editor-in-chief, Arthur Bleich proposes a basic online guide to buying and using the latest equipment. In addition there are interviews and pictures by the field’s pros including Al Francekevich, Hiroshi Kamakura and Renata Ratajczyk.
Kodak.com
Their learning center helps you get started in digital imaging, and provides tips on scanning as well as a guide to different types of film for analog cameras. There is also a photo gallery and feature stories. This month’s edition spotlights the Kodak Brownie camera which celebrates its 100th anniversary.
Afterimagegallery.com.
This site is produced by one of the oldest art galleries in the world (launched 29 years ago in Dallas, Texas and dedicated to photography). Ben Breard features 600 pages of images by name photographers. There are collectors prints, as well as an online “show” that stays up for 6-8 weeks. And, aficionados can also purchase artwork online.
Photopoint.com
Here, a gallery of contributors photos is updated every Monday and Thursday. Becoming a member free of charge allows you to participate by uploading your own album, in the category of your choice.
