PhotoClub-Equipment

UnderConstruction! At the last meeting we discussed the Spectrum of cameras available. Some of that information will be added here.

4 people have volunteered to be an "Equipment Group" which will collect and present equipment information to the club, and advise the club on equipment purchases. As of now they are: Damian Sanroman, Terry King, Bahir Skinner and Abdulghafoor Abdulhaleem (Known to us as "AG")

Photos/materials from the short presentation by Terry King are (click here):

Here's a comparison of the sizes of the electronic image sensor in various cameras:
