    Angry Photography banned in Kuwait.

    I just don't know what to say about this. Very sad.

    Fear mongers. It really is ridiculous and uninformed. Sometimes it seems like we're heading in the same direction in this part of the world, too.

    There is a solution, though - mirrorless/EVIL cameras! They have interchangeable lenses and DSLR image quality but they're *not* digital SLRs. Loophole!

    Don't know about EVIL cameras? Learn more on our EVIL & Micro Four Thirds Cameras Forum! Thanks for the opportunity to plug the EVIL cameras forum, Canuck & Kuwait

    Re: Photography banned in Kuwait.

    Well, I guess that is one destination I can take off my list. The convoluted thinking of some people never ceases to amaze me.

    Agreed! I love my E-P1, got three lenses for 'er now! I've even taken the telephoto (which makes the camera look ridiculous) out street shooting.
