Guide to the Best “Green” Cameras
In today’s society, more people are choosing to focus on “green” products in an effort to help preserve our environment and natural resources. This mentality has even extended to the world of photography. There are now several cameras on the market that were either created with natural materials or do not use harmful chemicals. While some of the most well-known names in the business are getting involved in this green initiative, including Canon and Nikon, some products stand head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to how “green” they are. Read on to find out which ones you should keep in mind for the future.

The EVOLT E-410, which is made by Olympus, has a sticker price of almost $700, although you can purchase it previously owned on Amazon for just under $400.
