Tangentially related, but I saw a video the other day of a Maxim magazine shoot from behind the scenes, and the photographer was shooting with 2 Canon G1Xs with one in each hand. I think he was using optical slave flashes and switching cameras in between shots so he didn't have to wait for the on-board flash to recycle, or maybe he just had them at different zoom settings.
Anyway, it just struck me as funny that no one probably has any idea that shots in a magazine published worldwide are being done with a fixed lens compact zoom camera. Meanwhile photographers (myself included for sure) sit around worrying about megapixels and lenses and resolution and print sizes ad nauseam. Sure it's a print magazine so resolution is not a huge concern, but that's kind of the point - for many applications compact cameras are more than sufficient.
The photographer obviously had this down to a system that worked well for him, and more power to him. He doesn't have to carry much in the way of gear and it is easily (and cheaply) replaceable & interchangeable. Heck, he can carry multiple spares without even making a dent in a typical gear bag. Pretty cool stuff.
