The guy is a journalist, not a photographer.

Who is the ugly brat with Kutcher? He looks like one of those adults who don't grow. BTW, why does that drawing of the Nikon in the blueprint look like a CANON!!!??

From: Michael on 19 Jul 2010 22:01 ILC is the term that Popular Photography is using for... well...ILC's. Digital rangefinder doesn't work even though the styling is what you'd expect if the Leica and Nikon Rangefinders were reincarnated as digitals. ILC just means interchangeable Lens Camera and that doesn't distinguish the mirrorless with EVF from the DSLR from, frankly, a 43 year old Nikon F. -- Michael

Right, it doesn't. But it's a new TLA. :-) |
