Description

It's an all new year and an all new episode of the Camerosity Podcast!  We're back at our regular time for some call in camera discussion!
For episode 17, Theo, Paul, Anthony, and I were joined by returning callers Dan Hausman, Hong Lee, Mark Faulkner, Mark Peterson, and Miles Libak where we posed the question, "What are the worst cameras you've ever used that have the best lenses?"  It proved to be a worthwhile discussion as it spawned a lot of strong opinions, and some controversy!  Definitely check it out and maybe next time, you can tell us which cameras you don't like...or something completely different!
As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are decided entirely upon you, so if you'd like to join us, be sure to look out for our next show announcement for Episode 18, which we will record at our normal time of 7pm CST (UTC -6), 8pm EST (UTC -5) on Monday, January 24th.
