&gt;I last wrote about a camera&lt;/a&gt; on this blog.  A lot has changed in the camera scene over the last two years and I fell in and out of love with the NEX-5 during this time as well. In this post I shall begin with talking about the recent trends in the camera market followed by short reviews of a few new generation cameras that I have tried or bought.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
