I agree, scanning can be expensive (I've got a Coolscan for 35mm and I'm eyeing a v700 for 4x5). But if prints are the desired end result, it's still less than $10 to develop and print a roll of 35mm film. What's the pri

I'm curious why they didn't include any medium format cameras (let alone large format cameras with movements ... how much does a 4x5 digital back cost?). For under $2000, you can get a new 6x7 rangefinder with fixed lens and you&#

Beyond EXIF, there's also IPTC, which the afore-mentioned Lightroom is pretty good at managing. Couple that with built in geo-tagging of photos thanks to cameras with built in GPS (or do it after the fact with a GPS logger) and you can

I posted a comment on their blog a few hours ago echoing some of the sentiments here (less bugs, free the data, etc.). It was deleted, it looks like they only want a cheerleading section in their comments.

Lots of people say that cameras are just light-proof boxes :) Part of the Leica/Leitz history is that they single-handidly popularized the 35mm format. Before that, if you wanted decent photos, chances are you were dragging around a la
