We're not sure what the humble DSLR has ever done to offend the
Kuwaiti government, but, according to the Kuwait Times, the
recreational use of Digital Single-Lens Reflex cameras has now been
outlawed in the country. The Ministries of Information, Social Affairs
and Finance (hello, 1984!) have collectively decided to ban the use of
the chunky shooters in public places, except where it can be shown
that it's for journalistic purposes. This decision has left a lot of
people scratching their heads, not least because every self-respecting
smartphone nowadays can pump out screen-filling images. And then
there's also the matter of determining where the line between compact
cameras, which are still allowed, and DSLRs resides -- for example, is
the Lumix G2 an illegal shooter just because it looks like one?
