[QUOTE="throttlemeister, post: 118797, member: 12228"] I know what you are trying to say, but who the hell are you thinking you can tell how other people spend their money? I don't care if someone buys a D4 and sits it on a shelf in his living room to look pretty. It's their money. By your logic we should all be using manual focus cameras without built-in metering and use a sekonic or use the guideline of 'sunny day: 1/125s, f8'. Fact of the matter is technology has progressed since full manual cameras, and not because auto is evil. Unless you turn off AF and run on M full time while completely ignoring all information and suggestions displayed in the view finder, you are always using some sort of auto. I also don't understand why you are ranting in here, as the D800 doesn't even have a (green dummy mode) full auto setting - unless you consider anything other than M to be full auto. I would hope that someone wanting to get into dSLR photography would make an effort to know their tool and understand the principle of photography and not remain stuck in the P&S style just with a bigger more expensive camera. But even if they do learn and they want to spend big $$ of some really nice equipment, that still doesn't mean everybody can or ever will be able to create national geographic quality photos. Nor does everybody want to, or even have the time to practice that much to get there. Cameras do not define skill level. But skill level does also not define which camera one can buy. Your reasoning is pretty arrogant. Not everyone enjoying a D800 is a pro or wants to be a pro. Live with it. If you want to live in M mode 100% of the time, all the power to you. Others like to use the tools provided by modern technology. But that doesn't necessarily mean they don't understand how it works or think about what they want to achieve. The fact that someone asks a questions is an indication they are willing to learn something. Unfortunately, beginner questions are always tedious to those with lots of experience. If you can't deal with that (I know I have a problem with that in my field of work (IT)), let it be and focus to more advanced questions. [/QUOTE]
