Not All Stabilizers Are Equal

Posted on by Lisa Berton
As digital camera technology evolves, more and more features on point and shoot cameras have become standard. One such mark is stabilization. Originally, nearly every stabilizer was digital.

My entry for Disney Pic of the Week – Blue is Gonzo, found trying to escape from the rafters in the Stage 1 … Continue reading "Will you stop this foolishness?!"
