[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 58684, member: 1061"] I read this one awhile ago as well. I like Trey, his tips are what helped me get started tinkering with HDR. I try to ignore that Robert Scoble is involved in this particular project because I can't stand that guy. He likes to think he's on the cutting edge of anything and everything, and is wrong 90% of the time, but because he's one of those social media gurus, his word is treated as gospel and spreads like wildfire. DSLRs are just that...digital SLRs. They're 35mm film cameras with converted innards to sync up with computers. Overall, they feature pretty archaic technology. Wireless and GPS has been the standard with just about every other techno-gadget for how many years now? Yet digital cameras continue to lag behind and there's no reason for it. DSLRs are for all intents and purposes, outdated. But... This is where I agree with Helene. I like being able to see what my lens sees, which requires a mirror. It needs that old school touch with whirring gears and clicking sounds. I like a big clunky camera as opposed to something that feels like a toy in my hands. And in my personal opinion, which is the same as legions of others, DSLRs just take better pictures. A camera is not a complicated device, and packing one full of circuitry is just bound to gum up the works somewhere and sacrifice quality along the way. Digital image sensors just aren't "there" yet, and probably won't be for awhile. [/QUOTE]
