About Straight Talk
Photography is my passion, and I have pursued this hobby since 1991 (initially with Film SLRs and later switching to digital cameras). When not photographing (true for most of the time because of my occupation), I keenly follow the developments in digital photography & techniques and have been doing so since year 2000.
I have gone through most camera reviews available on the Internet and in magazines.
My assessments of camera’s image quality, features and performance are based on my own experience with cameras as a photographer, extensive online research, critically examining full-size sample photos from multiple reviewing sites, and user feedbacks.
I don’t have any business interest in any manner with any of the camera manufacturers or their representatives.
I have been a poster, mainly replying to camera-related queries at DPREVIEW (a popular camera reviewing site) since Nov,06. (User name - ajay0612)
I began my photography hobby with a film SLR (Olympus OM2000). Currently I enjoy shooting with Sony DSC R1 & Canon TX1.

“I have been a big fan of the Cannon Powershot ever since the help at best buy told me it was rated best by a Consumer Report. I had a 4 megapixel then and my pictures looked better then most of my family members who had higher pixel camera's. Since then I've upgraded to the 7 megapixel with the widescreen back, dont have my camera with me to get the actual name but I've noticed the difference more in the clarity of videos. The pictures are a little more clearer but not enough to where I would downplay the 4 megapixel.”

“Bought this camera a year ago, after some comparison shopping. Even tho it's my first digital camera, I knew when I bought it, that it was great for the money, for what I need as a freelance artist. Thanks for confirming my choice. Panasonic isn't known for cameras, but I'm satisfied & it soon will be known for cameras. ”
