Yes, I know the issue and I know Navas' tactics very well. He makes

I kill-filed him years ago. His lack of knowledge is not limited just to
digital cameras, but extends to other fields as well. It's amusing at
first, then as you stated, it gets boring.

He's a member in good standing of my kill file as well...

The sad thing about John is that, as has been previously pointed out, his
comments seem more intended to justify his purchase than to explore the
art
/ science of picture taking.

As a recent purchaser of a superzoom, I like it, and I believe it can
produce better pics than my Rebel XSi in a limited number of situations,
but
the overall nod has to go to the DSLR because of the larger sensor and
lens
interchangeability.


And you would know this because ....

You actually see the images you take?

News Flash: Blind Photographer hired by DPReview to do all their latest
camera and lens reviews. Word has it that he's even better than their
present camera reviewers. (Actually, there wouldn't be much difference.)

LOL!



It's comments like that that expose your narrow-minded,
more-than-a-bit-out-of-touch mentality for what it is: socially limiting
and not conducive to technical innovation...

There's an old saying in the armed forces: "If you want to know the easiest
and quickest method of how to get something done, assign the problem to the
laziest troop in the platoon."

Regarding myself, if my limited sight sees something better in one camera /
image over another, then there is obviously something desirable there.

For instance, I shot a pic the other night of Mich wandering off-leash as I
took the garbage out. It's a shot you would call "a crap shot," but it
caught my eye as I was reviewing it because my eye, with its weird way of
seeing things, picked out part of Mich's silhouette superimposed over a
sidewalk, and a highlight along the edge of his tail. To me, Mich was
delinieated by both shadow and highlight.

Later, when my son was looking at the same picture, he saw an underexposed
pic of Mich, with neither the silhouette or the tail highlight drawing much
attention.

So, what does this have to do with what a sighted person would care about in
the purchase of a camera, or in reflecting upon the work of a blind
photographer?

Well, The pic illustrates the nice dynamic range of the SX120. Even in an
extremely low-light situation, outdoors with the light of only a single bulb
, it can produce some very delicate highlight detail in shadow areas. So
delicate in fact that sighted persons might not even notice, but which still
have the potential of making a good pic better than it otherwise would have
been.

Take Care,
