Rant @ IA photogs

Fact is that a lot of high end point and shoots will deliver exactly what they need and will be more camera than they could ever want or be able to use.

This is me, right here. I use a Canon A540 (I know not high end), but it has most every feature a SLR has. Jaime has seen it and thought it was a badass PAS camera. It has a whole bunch of features that I don't mess with because it is too much for me. But it takes great pics and that's all I need. I'm not going to try to make money in photography so I don't see te need to spend $1,000+ on a camera just to have one. And that's why I think some of these folks are getting DSLRs. For bragging rights; to say they have one.

Below is a pic of my car taken by me (bottom pic) and by Puregroove (top pic). Although there is a big difference in pic quality, if I'm out just taking pics of my car (or even a group of friends' cars), then why do I need a $1,000 camera? The pic I took of my car shows everything just like Puregroove's pic. His is just a lot more precise and clear than mine. I'm just a picture taker, not a photographer. I spent $120 on my camera. That's all I need. Later, QD.
