Professional photography pays for itself, by definition. I would really really hesitate to spend more than 600-800 EUR for a camera. I also wouldn't mess with anything truly bulky, so detachable objectives are straight out. Manual (mechanical) zoom and focus would be really nice, and it should be able of instant snapshots. I'm actually holding out until this artificial separation between photo and video goes away, so I can shoot HDTV movies with the cam, or multimegapixel photographs, if required. No disagreement, that you can't fake good optics (well, not much). It's just that the bulk and the price are prohibitive. Preferrably, I'd want my cam always on, and lightweight enough to be a headset. > To a layperson, the difference between good and excellent equipment is not > much...to the expert, the difference is vast...and worth the expense. > > Now, if only I were sure that SSShastry didn't open this topic just for the > debate....I remember his telling me what his latest endoscope cost.... -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
