DSLR's cutting-edge capabilities are nice, but no longer needed?

RichA: You can produce a decent shot of almost anything with lesser cameras today. So who really needs "the best?" Sandman: Professional and prosumer photographers. You're welcome. "Prosumers need the best...HA HA HA HA!" WANT, yes; NEED? NO! Laugh it up, fuzzball. Doesn't change the answer. Professional and prosumer photographers need DSLR. -- Sandman |

Prosumer = Professional consumer??? It's a vomitrociuous term (not bodacious). Anecdata suggests it was invented by banksters or other followers of Reaganomics, imagineered to exploit affluenza. It's been a ginormous success - exceeding guesstimates. Due to the hideosity of the word, and irregardless of the confusion it may cause the digerati, I prefer the portmanteau "Confessional" camera. |

Gotta havvvvee!! For what? Bragging rights? For their "great" photographic efforts? So they can watch a pro with lesser gear run rings around them? Are professional photographers watching other professional photographers running rings around them? Not sure what you think you're talking about. Professional and semi-professional ("Prosumer") photographers need DSLR equipment on a general level, to get access to fast autofocus, premium glass and many other DSLR-only advantages. -- Sandman |

Not for the left-wing ideas put forth, but because it appears to confer greater talent or knowledge on the part of the buyer of a "prosumer" camera than a non-prosumer camera. I've known people who owned five-figure gear who didn't know what the F--- they were doing with a camera. Meanwhile, Dpreview has people who are accomplished but not professional photographers just moving from things like the Nikon D5100 only now. No, not an attractive sounding word, and, as with many words, can be misused. However, it conveys a clear meaning to me, and therefor I will allow it to exist in our language. :) -- I know that you believe you understood what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant. |

Throw enough money at a typewriter, and you will without doubt, get a great novel. -- Regards, Savageduck |
