orh ~~ haha ... well maybe it could due to the majority of the CSers own equip tat are more well known.lightning69 said:I mean in this "OTHERS" category.
shutterfly said:This is because users of other major brands are busy checking out focusing, dust, exposure, etc problems or constantly thinking of upgrading whereas users of the "less known" brands are busy taking pictures.
Newguy69 said:Hi shutterfly,
Yes lor, me newbie (recently took up photography as hobby) with no photo experiences and user of the "less known" brands camera.
Now busy taking pictures because want to improve my shooting skill and still at the stage of learning the various manual settings for different exposures. So owning for eg. a dedicated and complex cam from other major brands may be too hot for me to handle at the moment (Due to my limited skill & knowlegde).
But if you're cracking a joke on my account, then you're very successful lor...You win lor. Nothing personal, just to voice out how I feel.
Note: Fellow CSers (including shutterfly) who think I'm overreacted, please accept my apology.
Cheers
shutterfly said:Huh? Cracking a joke at your expense? I dun think I actually even read your post when I was posting the above. I am just replying to the topic here. But good to see you improving your skills rather than equipment. Just dun be bitten by the upgrade bugs.
