Try shooting that eagle flying 800 m above with your point and shoot camera and you will know the limit. Haha
You noticed that the article acknowledges the need for certain gear in certain situations?Try shooting that eagle flying 800 m above with your point and shoot camera and you will know the limit. Haha
The given examples both don't need it, and that's the point of the article: many subjects do not require 5D3 + L (and the respective combos of other brands).The saying ‘right tools for the right job’ is apt.
I cannot agree. Photography to maximize equipment usage or to drive it to the limits? Let this be done by equipment testers who want to see when the camera breaks. There is nothing about photography in it. A camera is not a race car and only a few photographers will operate their cameras beyond equipment specs (temperature, humidity, altitude).Of course I do agree you can always maximize the potential of your gear. Isn't that also part of photography? However, there is no denying that the gears make a different.

How much (or to be correct: how little) difference it really makes we can clearly see in the two examples and also in another one published on Luminous Landscape: the comparison between a Canon G10 and a Hasselblad with P35+ back. While there is a technical difference in all the results the question remains: does it matter for the respective subject? Bear in mind: all the mentioned examples are not talking about your bird in the sky, but rather common subjects and situations that can be handled by PnS cameras. And if they can handle it, it does not require more

some like to "torture" their equipment and derive the kicks from doing so.
This is the type of photographer who likes to torture his camera: :bsmilie:

i think the point the article was trying to make is that spending 5x more on camera gear does not result in 5x better photos automatically.
Yep, that's it. But it's not only a lens can focus on the wrong point :bsmilie:i think the point the article was trying to make is that spending 5x more on camera gear does not result in 5x better photos automatically.
What the different between "Got all the tools but don't know how to use", and "Got no tools but know what to use" ?
the first one looks more Pros.
some are afraid their gear got exposed to too mucho dust and another one afraid of fungus and then, one afraid of finger prints and finally, afraid of ghost, not forgetting rain too. --- after 3 years, the gear is still in showroom condition so that you can sell or rather fetch a good price and get the brand new gear.:bsmilie:lets just say different strokes for different folks.

some would just polish their beloved camera everyday and put it back to the dry box without even dare to bring it out for some shooting. LOL
No right and no wrong. As long as you feel shiok! in what you are doing. You can go ahead and keep on buying, nothing wrong with that, as long as you can afford it, and help us sustain our camera manufacturers to make sure they survive. LOL

That's why some are call photographers and some are call cameraman, one loves photography and the other loves camera :bsmilie:
