デジタルカメラの進化は早い。12倍ズームが欲しくてパナソニックのFZ1を買ったのがつい3年くらい前。200万画素でしかこの倍率は無理なのかと思って使っていたが、FZ7が600万画素で2月に発売になっている。なんという進歩なのだろう?思わず買ってしまいそう…

I finished reading "Rosa Parks MY STORY" an autobiography by Rosa Parks, who was the key figure in the bus boycott in Alabama in 1955. I noticed that this incident is only about fifty years ago, not very long ago, which means that in the U…
