still the driving force in that revolution. These apps will also be used by fundamentalists in that movement.

For the record I despise the Assad dictatorship ( who wouldn't unless you are the dictator :P ), and I wish the Syrian people a true democracy and not another dictatorship or another Iran-like Theocracy (a sunni one). Most of the people running the show in the Syrian revolution have fundamentalist and pro Al-Qaedah positions. This was seen in many sectarian and extremest speeches by Mosk Imams in Daraa and other cities and is also seen in some of the pro-revolution demonstrators. Even though the Arab media moronically tries to hide these facts and images (picture below shows Bin-Laden and Hamas founder), foreign governments have people on the ground and know these facts. Rarely seen image of a demonstration in Tripoli-Lebanon by the so called Future movement (Harriri group who are for some reason still supported by the US gov):

It is unfortunate that in-spite of all the wars (and civil wars) in that region no one accepts the principle of separation of religion and state except dictatorship regimes!

These are just few facts worth knowing.

The performance of the mid range professional DSLR was a bit disappointing for me from the performace in low light to their AF system. One interesting new variable is MP/cm pixel density. DSLRs (~ 2 MP/cm), higher end point and shoot digital camera's (~ 20 MP/cm) and range-finder cameras (~ 2 MP/cm) have a lower density than the cheaper cameras.

The new Leica S2 is an interesting leap with a 37.5 megapixel CCD, a larger sensor (56% larger than 35mm full-frame). http://www.dpreview.com/news/0809/08092301_leica_s2.asp

With higher MP, you will need higher optics or switch to medium format cameras.
