[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]On my recent trip to Yosemite, I saw more film cameras than I have in years. About 5 or 6 DSLR's. Mostly in the hands of some young (by my standards) females. Usually if I see 2 on a trip that is a lot. Also have been seeing a lot more Sony DSLR's, mostly in the hands of European and Canadian tourists. I wonder if Sony is doing more advertising in those markets than here in the US?
