Of course, connecting the studio flashes to the P&S is gonna
be interesting ... ever seen a P&S with a PC connector, when
most miss a basic hot shoe?

Translation: You're an idiot troll who's not even aware of what equipment
and accessories are available for P&S cameras.

Show me the PC connector on a P&S.
You might even find one, if you search long enough.

They can all be hooked up to banks of studio flashes.

Exilim Z-40. Show.

Oh, and I'll want full control over all flash light sources.

If you bought even one camera in your lifetime you would know this.

I did, I know. You didn't, obviously.

Translation: Idiot snapshooters, whether they use a P&S or a Point and
Shoot DSLR, depend on auto-focus auto-everything.

Looks like I scored a hit.

So what good is 1/40,000s shutter with 1/10,000s flash? Yep,
logic strikes again. Now, about the flash power at your fabulous
speeds, is that even one milliwattsecond? Will it visibly light
up a bright white paper 10 cm from the lens?

Translation: You don't know what to do with any camera in your hands or how
to use any of its features if you did actually get a real camera in your
hands one day.

Thank you for telling me I hit a sore sore spot.


Translation: You aren't even aware of what effects are caused by different
shutter-speeds.

Fancy ideas you have:
- about me
- about studios
- about shutter speeds and their effects in the real world
- about the amount of light needed to register

But being misinformed and completely unrealistic is in character
for you.

Thank you for admitting I am right.

and accessories are available for P&S cameras. They can all be hooked up to

Contax SL300R. Show.

Can't, can you? Thought so.

Translation: You've never used any of these cameras so you just like to
make things up about them.

I make everything up, you have experience with P&S and DSLRs
alike and the world is flat.

[We close the curtains over the little scene where the Betty's eyes
start glowing red, she turns half translucent and the photographer
gets possessed as well.]

Translation: You never had a clue, you don't have a clue, and never will
have a clue.

A solid hit! It (trolls have no gender) is *sore*.

Try buying and using some real cameras one day instead of the
ones you envision in your virtual-reality pretend-photographer life.

Yep, you should really follow your own advice.

(They're so funny!)

You're so out of your depth, it's funny.

You're right.

Finally you get it.

it isn't even amusing anymore.

True, you're not even amusing, Swine before Pearls.
