Phone vs Camera! Mirrorless vs Android! PHOTO SHOWDOWN!

I love it when math kinda blows my mind.

TOUGHBOOK 55 review!

This Mark 2 gets a refresh and some more powerful internals. I LOVE playing with rugged gear, but the critical part of a Panasonic is support. These laptops and tablets last forever, and finding parts to repair them is surprisingly easy.
