If you are a digital photographer, which is most likely (well you are here reading this isn’t?), one particular aspect of your work is inherently touchy; and that is data management.

Call it our ignorance or plain laziness, we hardly make the research to find out more about a camera before actually buying it. We hardly ask someone knowledgeable before making a decision either.
