...shooter, one I'd rank up with the Sonys and Canons for consistency, speed and color reproduction. Unlike other cameras in this reasonably affordable range, it has wonderful flash coordination: where other cameras tend to drench people's faces with a bleaching blaze, the S1 seems to be more tame, or more responsive to the demands of the shot...
...Radio ate the AM/FM dial, demanded quarterly profit growth and sucked the fun right out of the control booth. Except that a wannabe big corporate entity was footing the bill for the show, broadcast from a gleaming new studio in a Rockefeller Center skyscraper. And the Glamazons were tame compared with the time Romaine invited a male porn star into the studio for a little on-air fun, and curtains had to be drawn--this for a radio show.

To emboldened decency monitors, this is a chance to tame an out-of-control pop culture in which drunk Real World housemates have three-ways in hot tubs and shock jocks broadcast live sex acts on air. To broadcasters--and many viewers--it's the censorial hysteria that's out of control, as when Fox, in a rerun of Family...
