About Us

Welcome to Photoxels!

When we published our first post in September 2002, little did we know how many people this site would help. We started by sharing what we were ourselves learning about digital cameras, then wrote reviews and tutorials that were easily understandable and practical. Today, we cover most subjects touching the lives of photographers, from serious articles to the more whimsy ones (for we all need to laugh from time to time).

Disclaimers: Our Errors & Making Your Own Decision
Though we try to be very careful about the information we put on this site, errors may creep in and manufacturers may change specifications. Included accessories and available colors vary by country. Please verify with the manufacturer’s site for the latest specifications before making your purchase.

Readers also often ask us for digital camera recommendations. We cannot recommend which digital camera is the best one for you because there are too many personal variables to consider. We try to cover all the best digital cameras and provide a number of independent reviews for each camera you may be interested in. Do not base your purchase decision on our personal opinions or those of only one reviewer; we all have personal bias, so by all means, get a second opinion. You are the best person to decide which digital camera is best for you.

Support
From day one, this site has been independently supported by your purchases through the advertisers on this site. We earn a small commision from every purchase you make. You have to surf through the links on our site, and you are not limited to purchasing digital cameras only: CDs, DVDs, books, toys, apparel, even pots and pans — anything on PriceGrabber.com, PriceGrabber.ca, Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, Amazon.co.uk, B&H Photo Video, Adorama (and our other advertisers), including the proverbial kitchen sink, is game. Thank you for your support!

There are other ways you can help that does not include buying anything. Tell your friends about us! If you enjoy the tutorials, reviews and articles, tweet them, share them on Facebook and other social networks, and email them to your friends. If you have a web site, link back to us and tell your readers about us.

We drink a lot of tea to keep us awake into the wee hours of the night to bring you the articles and reviews. Help replenish our supply by making a small donation through Paypal:

Endorsements
The products that are reviewed on this site are either purchased by us or loaned to us by the manufacturers, after which the products are returned to the manufacturers. A review is based on an actual production model, is unbiased and a result of actual use and testing of the product during the loan period. Press Releases from the manufacturers are clearly marked as such.

We do not endorse products, i.e. review products for a payment — as in, say positive things about a product instead of writing an unbiased review. Sometimes a manufacturer will allow us to keep a product that we have reviewed (small items, downloaded software) and we will clearly disclose this as per the FTC’s revised guidelines of what is considered an endorsement.
