You're assuming a non-existent sincerity. It specializes in chain pulling.

People can change. Perhaps he'll eventually tire of his current shtick
and decide to educate himself. I do wish he'd stop promoting CHDK, and
stop claiming that he's a contributor to the CHDK effort, as he hurts
the reputation of CHDK by association. Every time I load CHDK now, I
cringe to think that our favorite troll promotes it.

Since you don't know it's real identity, even if you personally have met
every contributor to CHDK, how can you tell the truth?
Just think logic.

People, yes. Slime molds and trolls? I doubt it.

It alreads is educated (as far as it can ever be). After all,
it uses DSLR pictures and claims they were done by P&S cameras.

It just won't tire of it's stick. Maybe a usenet death
penalty would cure it over half a year (i.e. nobody even gets
to read what it writes), but people still feed it.

Crikey, can't you three stop talking about the pest??? There's only a
handful now that feed his ego.


Including you? :-)


Yes, including me. It's very tiresome. Now only you and a half dozen
others are continuing the practice.

Describe just ONE of them (more if you want) that you've seen that you
claim I stole from someone using a DSLR. It's time that you too were outted
as the lying slanderous and libelous **** of a pretend-photographer troll
that you are.

The closest that SMS ever got to CHDK is reading a few bits about it. It
doesn't even know how to use it nor even install it properly. Go ahead,
test him. Ask him anything about CHDK that he can't easily find on the
Wiki. He'll pretend he never saw your post.

LOL!

Not surprising.

Me included.

And yet it never did improve your photography. Admit it. It probably got
even worse. The ONLY reason people buy DSLRs today is because they have
been convinced it will make them into better photographers. When nothing
could be further from the truth.

Very true. There are very specific areas where a D-SLR is indispensable:

-Low light, where a larger sensor with larger pixels are required.

-High ISO, where a larger sensor with larger pixels are required for
lower noise.

-Action shots where fast AF is required

-Shots where long telephotos or extreme wide angle is required (those
adapter lenses for point and shoot cameras range from abysmal to mediocre).

The perfect combination for me is a CHDK equipped P&S and an APS-C D-SLR.

If our favorite troll saves up his money, he can buy a D-SLR too.

Instead, they end up spending much more money on a camera they cannot
use which also gives them a lot of problems, due to the DSLR's
comparatively very restricted shallow depth of field.


HUH??? dSLRs have adjustable diaphragms. Just increase the f-number to suit your taste.

If you have the same angular field of view and the same same number
of megapixels you will get the exact same image as a P&S with the same
depth of field ... including the same diffraction problems and the
same noise problems.
