23 Sep 2011 Podcast 299 : Alternatives to DSLR Cameras (Google+ Hangout)

Having figured out how to record a Google+ Hangout last week, today I held another Hangout, which I was able to successfully record, and although we took a while to really get started, I figured we discussed enough relatively interesting stuff to put this out there.

Thanks to those who joined and made it work!

We discuss:

Camping, while sleeping in a hammock! Also getting around in the great American West
Alternatives to the DSLR, especially for street photography
The iPhone as a “serious” camera
Retro and four-thirds type, mirrorless cameras

Don’t forget to hit the full-screen button in the video window to go, erm, full-screen.

Some of the Cameras Mentioned

Nikon 1: https://mbp.ac/nikon1

Sony NEX: https://mbp.ac/sonynex

Olympus E-P2: https://mbp.ac/olympusep2

Panasonic GF1: https://mbp.ac/panasonicgf1

And, if I started doing like 500 times more street photography than I do now, and actually made money from it, I personally would love a Leica M9: https://mbp.ac/leicam9
