Excellent site guys - just excellent

bullet

I was attending a Reuters Foundation workshop where he told us about the website. Well I must say it is a great site! Carry on the good work

bullet

Very interesting site and good luck. Please do not fill the site up pandering egos of old hacks

bullet

Just a quick message to say what a great website. I'm a news cameraman in London, England, and I've found loads of interesting information and articles. I also meant to say that I found the articles that you've written for the website fascinating and hugely informative - particularly your Kisangani article, which I read [several times] last weekend; very provocative and haunting. Just a great piece.

bullet

Keep up all the good work, and watch your backs.

bullet

Compliments for the article on the web site. It's exactly the right story and you are the first review who wrote the right story so well!. Compliments also for your web site. I'll tell to my friends cameramen to visit the web site and to contact you. Just a few have internet access (or interest!) and I think it's a pity.

bullet

The only article that did piss me off somewhat, was Yervant's article (Zen and the Art of Cameraman Maintenance) which
only seemed to perpetuate the stereotype of the "mental pygmies" behind the camera - I thought we'd all gone a tad beyond that these days (maybe I'm wrong).
That's about it - I'd like to congratulate you all on a well done site guys.

bullet

Nice website mate, I'll spread the word around!! If I find anything of interest I'll pass it on to you. How about some info on SX laptop editors?

bullet

I found your website very useful as I am just about to start my new job at ITN.

bullet

Nice one. I will be back
