Summary

Last week the Chicago Sun Times decided to axe its entire photography staff in favor of freelancers and reporters with iPhones.  We had to cover this discussion in more detail because it was so out there.  You will not believe the quotes that came from the people who made this decision, WOW.  
Stephen sits down to bring us the week's Photo News stories, which include a NEW image sensor that is 1000x more sensitive to light, a band trying to sell photo passes to their shows for $150 and a memory card that will allow for RAID storage. 
Be sure to download this week's episode on iTunes or give it a watch on YouTube.
