## Resource

Welcome to the Digital Camera World podcast! James and Chris kick things off by discussing half-frame cameras like the Fujifilm X-Half and Pentax 17 – they're back (and we remember them from the first time around), but did anyone actually ask for them?  Then we dive into our kit bag to examine Canon's comeback to the world of compacts, the PowerShot V1, before troubleshooting how to achieve shallow depth of field (bokeh faces!) with smaller image sensors.
