Visual Science Lab is an excellent blog to add to your reading list - Kirk Tuck is a wonderful photographer and frequently mentions/explores the world outside of Canikon (Canon/Nikon), which is as rich as the highly renowned Canon and Nikon products. Sony, Olympus, Panasonic, Fuji and others are working hard to compete and provide some great products for those not able or uninterested in the high cost of Canon and Nikon. The new Canon 5DM3 has probably replaced the old medium format considering the quality, the size, and the cost. The current digital 'medium' format is probably the new large format due to size, cost and quality. That is amazing and desired by major artists and professionals. But for the rest of us, there are many options that will deliver great images at reasonable cost - the Sony, Olympus/Panasonic M43 and others.
Other good sites to keep up with all aspects of photography are the The Online Photographer, Lenswork (which is now celebrating its 100th issue with some great prices and online information), and Camera-Talk, although we can't begin to list them all. We try and link you up to the best we can find, so don't forget to check our Camera Council blog often.
Good reading and good shooting.....
