Default Is There Another Newsgroup?

Is there another newsgroup dedicated towards more serious topics other than
typical consumer P&S problems?

I know this is going to p*ss a lot of people off, however I am being
serious. I am not interested in P&S topics.

Well, rec.photo.digital.point+shoot is _supposed_ to be the realm of
point&shoot. But, it was only formed recently (in internet years) and
most everybody had already been camping here and obviously didn't feel
like striking their tents.

Over on Gmane (gmane.org) I see there's a:

" gmane.recreation.photography.geeks Photography for Geeks "

.. . . probably not what you're looking for.

I'm uncertain if what you're looking for exists out on the Great
UnWashed usenet. No doubt what you are seeking can be found on some
focused web-site where you are vetted before 'entering'.

Makes no difference whether it is digital or film. However, I am thinking
maybe film, as there used to be a very good 35mm newsgroup, but that went
down the pan.

I just want to get away from the consumer market and into a newsgroup that
discusses more serious topics other than this.

A few years ago this NG was OK, however now I want to scream!

No offence to the consumers, you are quite entitled to post, but
realistically, how can you combine a newsgroup with people shooting on their
camera phone with people who shoot on 1Ds's? It's not going to work is it.

Photography in general, or digital only?

There are 24 newsgroups in the rec.photo.* hierarchy, including 5 in
rec.photo.digital.*:

rec.photo.digital
rec.photo.digital.point+shoot
rec.photo.digital.rangefinder
rec.photo.digital.slr-systems
rec.photo.digital.zlr

No freaking offence but if you opened your eyes you would see that there is
a digital slr group.

So Jack, I can't depend on your help in selecting a $300 camera?
I haven't yet figure out how to work my camera phone, so I'll withhold
those questions for now.

Try Yahoo groups they have dedicated camera specific groups (Canon anyway,
never looked for Nikon). That may interest you more.

BTW....it is considered bad-form to top-post!

It's very poor compared to what this group used to be.

Thanks for the advise, however I have been posting in newsgroups since 93.
Don't tell me how to post!

No wonder usenet has been abandoned with anal retentives like you around
telling people how to post.
