    First of all Happy Birthday Don !!!! I loved this podcast a lot. I have to agree with the conversation on photo journalism and how it is turned to crap. I am now starting to help people learn how to use their cameras. The menus are not all the same but I have used my Canons for years and know the menus to what I need. Bryan is totally right to say it really is a customer experience that he has always given to me and the friends I send to him. This podcast is one of the top ones so far for me. Cheers and hope there are a lot more.

    Great show guys! Thank you. I see how one can appreciate the fact that you can put an old sd card into your new camera and have still work. But I also understand the need to make faster memory cards. For example, the Panasonic GH5 can record video at 400 Mbps. There are very few memory cards on the market right now that can keep up. I like that the manufactures of memory cards can make faster cards even if there isn’t yet a market for them because I think that pushes camera manufacturers to do more and vice versa. An off topic question: What is your all time favorite 50mm lens? Thanks
