That is the BIG question that we don’t know the answer.

Here’s a very nerdy post about my personal camera history. But I’m gonna blog about it anyway. You wouldn’t mind reading a blog post over a bland trip down memory lane, would ya?
It was just recently that I tried to recall my “camera body” memories. So just to put it on record, here’s a personal [...]
