		<description><![CDATA[ It is that time of the year when we take a look at what Digital SLRs, Point and Shoot Digital Cameras, Lenses, Digital Camera Accessories and Digital Photography Books have been popular among dPS readers over the first quarter of 2010. Popular DSLRS This last quarter saw the usual dominance of Canon and Nikon DSLRs in this category with only one Olympus just scraping into the list. Of note is the Nikon D90 which rose from 9th place on the list last quarter to 2nd this one. Canon EOS Rebel T1i Nikon D90 DX Canon Digital Rebel XSi Canon EOS 7D Canon Rebel XS Nikon D3000 Canon EOS 50D Nikon D5000 Nikon D700 Olympus Evolt E420 Popular Four Thirds Cameras I decided to add this category of cameras in as it continues to gain popularity. There isn&#8217;t a lot of cameras to chose from but here are the 3 that we saw sold. The Panasonic outsold the Olympus PENs by 3:1 (I just picked one up too). I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll see this class of digital cameras become more and more popular in time but to put it into context these cameras amounted to less than a tenth of DSLR sales among our readers. Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 Olympus PEN E-P1 Olympus PEN E-P2 Popular Point and Shoot Cameras I&#8217;ve expanded this list a little this quarter as Canons dominated it so much that I wanted to include at least a few others. Interestingly this quarter saw the emergence of Panasonic point and shoot cameras. If I extended this list to being a top 30 you&#8217;d see Panasonic and Canon take up around 20 positions. Canon PowerShot SD1200IS 10 MP Canon PowerShot SD780IS 12.1 MP Canon PowerShot SX120IS 10MP Canon PowerShot SX200IS 12 MP Canon PowerShot SX20IS 12.1MP Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1 10MP Canon PowerShot S90IS 10MP Nikon Coolpix L20 10MP Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 10.1 MP Panasonic DMC-LX3K 10.1MP Canon PowerShot G11 10MP Nikon Coolpix P100 10 MP Nikon Coolpix P90 12.1MP Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH20 14.1 MP Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS25 12MP Popular DSLR Lenses This quarter sees the usual dominance of Canon and Nikon and the normal prominence of the 50mm lens. The top 2 lenses on the list were each bought by over 50 readers with #3 being bought by 21. Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USMLens Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Lens Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens Nikon 50mm f/1.4D AF Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM Standard &#038; Medium Telephoto Lens Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Nikkor Wide Angle Zoom Lens Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX Lens Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM ELD SLD Aspherical Super Wide Angle Lens Popular Digital Photography Books Among the biggest sellers with dPS readers are digital photography books. We see literally thousands of them bought every year. Here are the most popular ones from the start of 2010. Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera The Photographer&#8217;s Eye: Composition and Design for Better Digital Photos How to Take Great Photos with the Canon D-SLR System The Digital Photography Book Capturing Mood, Ambience &#038; Dramatic Effects: The Dynamic Language of Digital Photography Scott Kelby&#8217;s Digital Photography Boxed Set, Volumes 1, 2, and 3 Photo Trekking: A Traveling Photographer&#8217;s Guide to Capturing Moments Around the World Digital Wedding Photography: Capturing Beautiful Memories VisionMongers: Making a Life and a Living in Photography Wedding Photography Unveiled: Inspiration and Insight from 20 Top Photographers Popular Digital Camera Accessories I&#8217;m always amazed at the array of accessories that I see being bought each quarter. These 10 are just the tip of the iceberg. Tiffen 52mm UV Protection Filter Fotodiox 52mm Macro Reverse Lens Mount Adapter for Nikon DSLRs Opteka RC-4 Wireless Remote Control for Digital SLR Cameras Tiffen 58mm UV Protection Filter Polaroid CZA-10011B PoGo Instant Mobile Printer AGL3080: Amod AGL3080 GPS Data Logger Kingston 8 GB SDHC Class 4 Flash Memory Card SD4/8GB Canon Deluxe Photo Backpack 200EG for Canon EOS SLR Cameras Lowepro Slingshot 200 All Weather Backpack Nikon 7072 Lens Pen Cleaning System Post from: Digital Photography School - Photography Tips .

Remote locations present a different set of challenges.  For one, convenience.  No more finding a socket and making sure you have the right adapter]]></description>
