Breaking News Sites
One of the most exciting thing about digital photography is how fast the technology is moving. The downside is that it's hard to keep up-to-date. To make this site as useful as possible, it focuses on important concepts and features. These remain relatively constant even as the way they are implemented changes from year to year. After learning the basic concepts discussed here, you can keep up-to-date on specific products using other sources on the Internet. The most useful of these sources are often found on-line at Web sites published by ShortCourses.com, manufacturers, digital photography organizations, and others.
