25 Reasons to Choose a P&S Camera Instead Of an Overpriced DSLR (minor typo corrections)

Thanks to this post, I expect to see all those big white and black lenses at the football games, PJ events, etc start to disappear and soon! Now that they know that a simple P&S will do a better job at capturing pro football than their silly SLRs, why would they keep them? As they improve and as more people realize how much more efficient they are for all purposes, then yes you will see D/SLRs disappear. Just as you saw all view-cameras disappear nearly a century ago at all major events. Get it? If not, then perhaps you should stand in the bleachers at the next sporting event holding a view-camera on a heavy wooden tripod, with your flash-powder tray in the other hand, both lofted high above your head. Then maybe you'll begin to understand why it's only a matter of time, maybe only a couple years, before your beloved, though ancient, D/SLR designs completely disappear from common usage. Get it yet? Actually, if you were using such a rig (view camera/tripod/flash-powder), you could get a photo of truly amazing quality. It would completely depend on your personal talent and skill, including an intimate knowledge of the sport in question, so that you could predict where the action is likely to be. You just wouldn't be able to shoot 30 frames per second, hoping that one of them might be a winner. I frequently shot football games from the sidelines with a KoniOmega 6x7 and a potato-masher strobe. The trick is very simple: pre-focus on the near hash-mark, and wait for the action to cross that point. |
