Another month has ticked by, and while it may look like the camera companies and I took the month off, nothing can be further from the truth.
Let's start with the camera companies. Nikon and Sony are waiting for chips (or perhaps just starting to get final chips and now working frantically to do final firmware work). I really don't expect any new cameras from either any time soon, though both have a number of lenses pending. Fujifilm and Canon seem to be targeting CP+ for their next camera announcements, so basically "later this month." OMDS and Panasonic seem pretty opaque at the moment to whatever it is they're up to. Leica is rumored to be sold.
From a GAS (gear acquisition syndrome) standpoint, the first half of this year seems like it will be mostly about lenses, with scattered cameras.
Here in the frigid Mid-Atlantic, I've been pretty much bolted to my desk between bouts of snow shoveling, ice removal, and occasional grocery store visits. My Priorities List seems to have grown to novel length, but I'm finally managing to shorten it rather than add to it. I wrote two books in January while working on three others. Technically, I wrote a third book, but it isn't on photography, so you don't care ;~). Since you haven't seen any of that work, you might guess that some of it has something to do with byThom Max (you'd be right). Meanwhile, I've been working on designs for four sites, and am only really waiting for a final software update from the vendor whose product I'm using before I start the first deployment.
On top of that, I developed intro and outro bits for upcoming videos, started a new project on getting my computer storage updated (including new name conforming), cleaned out the old office to recycle a bunch of gear, and much more.
Reviews? Well, they seem to be as frozen as the landscape at the moment. Oh, I've done the lab work, I'm just waiting for a few days where I won't freeze my hands to the products trying to get a few additional images to look at. It doesn't help that my usual long-distance diagonal reference spot is basically just a panorama of white at the moment. White snow in focus kind of looks like white snow with spherical aberrations, if you get my drift (pardon the pun).
So bear with me (and the camera companies). We're all deeply at work, it's just not a time when you're going to see a lot of evidence of that. But come the thaw...
