hypnotizes...check out this site:
http://www.dpreview.com/ It's run by a guy named Phil Askey. 10 years ago I needed to learn about digital photography for the content site I owned. This guy is THE MAN. He gets all the cameras, lenses, accessories, etc. sent to him and he tests them and reviews them. Check his site out. It's a very valuable resource for anybody doing digital photography.
