Article Summary
"Apples cannot be compared to oranges? or so they say. We often hear this when people compare the merits of two somewhat different things, one person says something is better, another says none is better because you cannot compare apples and oranges, instead you must compare apples to apples.
How about a plane and a car? Compare them in the void and you get nowhere. Set a goal, like going from New York to Montreal, and then you can chose which is more suitable for you. A 5 hour drive for only the cost of gas and some mileage? Or a 1 hour flight plus airport air time and luggage constraints at the cost of $230 per person? With that in mind, it is not too hard for people to decide which is better for their situation.

Image Stabilization Shootout
"There are many implementations of image stabilization. True image stabilization is either sensor-based, called the sensor-shift method, or lens-based. Manufacturers now claim between 2 and 4.5 stops of advantage standard hand-holding. Here we put to the test 4 cameras to see how these claims hold up.

The Wrong Obsession
"The truth is that people rarely take great pictures, most pictures taken are far from being great. When people see their mediocre pictures, they rarely blame themselves but they frequently blame their camera.
