Kuwait Bans DSLRs

Really? Yep. Three ministries in Kuwait have joined forces and banned the use of DSLR cameras in public except when used by working journalists. Cellphone and point and shoot cameras are okay but the use of a DSLR is no longer allowed. Banned. Now, a whole bunch of folks who bought DSLRs for hobby photography or personal use are left in the cold with no solid reason as to why DSLR cameras are being singled out in this way. See http://www.kuwaittimes.net/read_news.php?newsid=MzAwMTg4ODg1 among other sources reporting this rather quirky and sad bit of news.

All the best,
