Lee Jinks's (leejinks) Blog

I have often written blogs on the latest cameras that will work well for the real estate agent.  I have come to realize one would be better off learning to use the camera you have over purchasing the newest, most advanced camera available.  Having said that I am always watching the camera market ...
