Sad. In the world of TV news, there is no such thing as this sort of brand snobbery. Whether it is Sony or Panasonic or any make, does not matter at all. In fact, what tends to happen is that if anyone is struggling with their kit, others will help out. Sometimes you get a VJ with a cheaper end camera who is floundering...nobody laughs. We realise that the industry is changing and that staffers get given what their employers see fit to give them, and this is usually inadequate. We often share lights, and have even been known to share a missed shot of a villain leaving court! -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
