Time to chuck the P&S's into the garbage

Someone could pay me $1,000 to take one off of their hands and I still wouldn't want it. Their 1900's clap-trap and noisy mechanical technology is nothing but a huge drawback to photography these days. Why do you think they're so cheap? Nobody wants used ones, and new ones aren't much of an incentive either. |

I know this because I've been looking for a few of my favorites as backups every now and then. Can't find a good deal on them when I've checked, what few are being sold as used, if you can find one. Everyone's hanging onto them. I totally understand why. Like all trolls, you're ignorant and pointless. |

Now that's an interesting admission: 1) "a few": all others were crap 2) "now sell for more as used than they did as new": since the prices of new cameras are decreasing, these used cameras are more expensive that their "equivalent" recent ones, which means they are perceived as far superior, despite their "short" zoom or low pixel count. So we agree... the problem with recent compact/bridge/superzoom cameras is that the pixel-count wars have led manufacturers to add pixels faster that they can mitigate the problems this creates (noise, etc...) (this is also true, but to a lesser extent, of DSLRs) and extend zoom range beyond what they can reasonably do and what is really usable by us mere mortals. -- Bertrand |

So we agree... Why would anyone let a troll like you, who clearly puts words in other's mouths, allow you to think you agree with words they never said? Is that they only way you can get someone to agree with you in your mind? By inventing words they never said so you can then imagine that you agree with them? There's a word for that in studies of psychology. Several words as a matter of fact. You might want to look that up. But it would probably be simpler to have the resident staff and your attendants explain them to you in words you can understand. That is, if you don't go off again inventing things they never said just so you can pretend to understand and agree with them. |
