A colleauge of mine is going on holiday soon and wants to buy a new camera. He wanted to go for the Sony NEX 3 or 5 but by the time it is out, he will be on holiday. In terms of requirements, great IQ, small size and video. So what do you think: Panasonic G2 Lumix GF1 Powershot G11...

What do you think you're doing? Where are the photos? :D

I am guessing they used some sort of portrait workflow. Are there any you recommend? :-)

Hi guys, Just came back from town and there was a photography stand promoting their services. I noticed the photographer taking a few photos followed by editing them within Photoshop. Now the killer question, what was she doing exactly? I've been on YouTube looking at Photoshop retouching but...

Just picked up a 40D body with a new shutter for £380. How many shots will that keep me going?
