When I was reviewing cameras back in 2004 and 2005 , manufacturers would send them out only to journalists – not bloggers. I often emailed other bloggers to say, “Hey, I notice you’re using this particular camera. It’s amazing how many bloggers were willing to do that in exchange for some exposure.
