== Introduction to Cameras ==
 
A camera is just a means to an end; a tool for producing photographs. That's easy to say but for some it is like saying to a car enthusiast that a Ferrari is just a means of getting from point A to point B. It is not uncommon for a craftsman to fall in love with his tools but photographers seem particularly susceptible to camera lust. A little understanding of how the camera as a tool works will help with its selection, care and operation.
