DPreview: Pro photogs should use Canon or Nikon for weddings!

Any wedding planer selecting a photographer based on the size of his/her
equipment, is like the bride making her selection of groom based on similar
criteria, which makes a strange sort of sense I guess.



A bunch of sales is based upon perception. I would think that if a
photog shows up with an iPhone, I doubt if he can get the same minimum
fee as the photog who shows up with a mess of equipment, and two assistants.

But DPReview seemed to think that a typo made by the magazine in an
article never intended to be offering advice to wedding photographers
was a conspiracy.

FF Canon or occasionally Nikon...

On-line magazines don't really need any editorial control. In the good
old days of hot metal everything got read by several other people. Even
with photo-litho there were more hands involved than now.

I find *some* of the stuff in dpreview quite good.

The magazine article was never intended for photographers of even moderate
ability let alone pro wedding photographers. I believe DPreview was just
pointing out the ignorant inanity that particular article.

Some have been known to use a Graflex or Speed Graphic.

Truthfully, I don't remember what our wedding photographer used (in 1966).
What I do know is that the pictures are badly faded now, which might not have
mattered if they had been digital.

And at my daughter's wedding (in 1991) the photographer did a lousy job. If
I'd known as much about photography then as I do now, I might have sued him.

had they been digital, you'd have perfect copies.

on what basis? that you ****ed up and picked someone incompetent?

I was sitting somewhere in a waiting room, and one of those TV judge
things was on, and this was the exact case that was on. A couple sued
because they didn't like the photos, and it was just the defendants'
luck that the judge was a photo enthusiast who of course knew
everything. So those poor photogs just didn't have gear that was
sufficiently pro, and the judge's critical eye didn't think the photos
were up to snuff, and that was that. Free photos.

That guy probably also sits on the 9th circuit.
