Re: Newsweek photog favors digicams

It's not news that most photojournalists are using digital equipment now. The interesting part of this story is that he's using all point and shoot, or amature, cameras. It's risky, but for this guy it really works. His work is beautiful.
One of his cameras of choice is the Olympus C-5050. I used that camera for snap shots and a few times on assignments. Great image quality and control, but HORRIBLE shutter lag. I can't ever imagine using it on a fast breaking story, so what this guy does is even more impressive to me.
