Since the island’s settlement over a thousand years ago, Icelanders have hunted this small (less than 10 pounds) carnivore, at first for its fur and later to protect lambs...

Nikon has recently unveiled an APS-C mirrorless model for vloggers, the Z30 – and according to Canon Rumors, Canon will soon do the same.

Note: These sliders do have an effect on all the Reds...
