"The Pentacon Six is a medium format Single Lens Reflex (SLR) camera developed in Germany in the 1950s and manufactured until the early 1990s." Huge amount of detail about one particular camera system.

Ken Rockwell's Camera and Lens Reviews edit / delete

Very comprehensive set of modern (mostly DSLR/mirrorless) camera reviews. The author's clearly a fan of Nikon gear but there's coverage of other manufacturers here too; useful if you want to know the fine differences between models, lens compatibility, etc. Lots of comparisons between similar models of cameras and lenses too.

NX Crypto Photography edit / delete

"After Samsung released the NX300, and after it had been easily rooted, I bought one. It's a nice well-rounded camera in a reasonable price range. It runs Linux, and is somewhat open-sourced by Samsung." Hm. Something to bear in mind when I'm next looking for a camera...
