Back when I worked at a camera store... A guy comes in and buys a ZX-5n with a basic zoom. One year later he returns to buy an F100 and 80-200 f2.8 because he is shooting 5 weddings a month and believes that N***n is the only choice for "pros". Two weeks later he returns again with his Wal-Mart developed film in hand wondering why his photos are soft. He is puzzled when we say that it looks like camera shake because "I always keep my shutter speed at 1/60". He did not know how f-stops affected depth of field, how shutter speeds affected motion, or why he would ever want to disagree with the automation in the camera. We ended up giving him an abbreviated beginners photography course over the counter.
To answer the question my way...a good photographer is a good photographer no matter what camera he is holding, a bad photographer will feel like he is a good photographer when holding a camera that does his work for him. David Madsen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.davidmadsen.com
