    FujiFilm XT-1: Ultimate Travel Camera?

    Prescott Winter Rover Run

    A little impromptu adventure today with the Land Rovers. Typically, the mountains around Prescott would be packed with snow, but rain was the only element of contention for this trail. This is a favorite local trail, and a good place to show our new Australian intern (Troy) some of the local...

    I have been riding the new water boxer 1200 GS for the past two months, and am finding it to be better than the outgoing model in nearly every notable category. The motor is stronger, smoother, simplified. There is a wet clutch now, more durable than the dry and can be removed from the front...

    I have always just used the OEM straps for all of my cameras, but we just bought an SL1 for lightweight moto use and as a backup body for my compact kit (I run SUPER lean when traveling, usually with only one body and two lenses). This SL1 is so small that a neck strap seems, well. . . odd. I...
