Simply, you should just be buying what you need and can afford. No right or wrong answer. It's a freedom of choice for what you want to do with your hard earned money.
there's always black sheeps in the flock? Or ppl just take it too seriously? Or nobody bother to reply questions at all? Many reasons ..... but i see there're many new ppl joining into clubsnap so there'll sure be changes in the culture and shifting away from its original purpose unless the senior members here maintain better control over it, pass on the culture of learning and sharing thru disccussions and not just "flame" for no reasons. Use less harsh wordings will be a good start. Sorry folks too lor sor rite..just my $0.02 and tots for these few months of joining this forum.pethidine said:Just a analysis... nothing much.
I always tot clubsnap guys are a friendly lot.. seems like recently, whenever ppl start asking for advice... some mockery answers are given.
Wonders why... :think:

So.. can help me analyse if I need a new cam.
I have a Canon A40.. and a Canon film SLR.
My A40... can consider as spoilt. Takes super long time to focus.. and the focus hit rate is ard 60% only :angry: . I want to decommission the cam soon.
Question.. thinking of getting an entry level Canon DSLR... so that i can reuse my lenses. Is this a good idea? :dunno:

lightning69 said:I tell you why...because most people here think that they know everything about digital photography and when newbie ask a question that probably been ask before many times, then the so call "Pro" would tell them to do their homework first before asking any question. Yunno, forum should be a place where issues are discuss and people help out each other. Now if you think that you can't help or are unwilling to help, don't leave a mockery reply.

Who could deny that an slr is better in almost every aspect than a point & shoot. But I see many users spending money on expensive gear and yet i have not seen much great shots coming from them!!! Of course its non of my business how they spend their money really!!! But my point is that should this people be my concern about improving their skills rather then improving their gear. And is it my mistake to voice out my opinion in this matter?

lightning69 said:A lot of picture posted here are no doubt good pictures in terms of color, sharpness etc. but they are all the same. For eg macro shots...are mostly of insects or flowers which has been done too much everywhere. Now that is nothing wrong with that except there isn't any one that really stands out to be exceptional or different. Now i read almost all the photography mags out as i purchase 5 to 7 mags a week and there i see many great pictures which i just don't see those quality here. So a great shot has something that is very special or different. Now i know every shots is special to someone and most likely the person who shoots it, but that is not what i meant here. What i mean is a picture that when you see it you knew that its special and unique.
