[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 125653, member: 13076"] I am sure your Hasselblad can accomplish what you say it can accomplish, and I fully respect that, but this thread deals with the capabilities of a Nikon DSLR. [SIZE=2]So[SIZE=2], according to you, being interested in the technical aspects of the craft is being a nerd? [SIZE=2]Kn[SIZE=2]owing something about [SIZE=2]the capabilities of the tools you use in your craft is meaningless? I've only been on this forum a short time, but to see something like that from a senior member h[SIZE=2]ere is frankly a sur[SIZE=2]prise as I thought this forum was better than that. [/SIZE][/SIZE] I'm not posting a thread like this [SIZE=2]to immerse members here in technob[SIZE=2]abble. Jim Brandenburg had four D800 prototypes for a month. I think he was aware of the tech[SIZE=2]nical specs of the camera and what the camera could achieve technically [SIZE=2]was a "game-changer" for him[SIZE=2]. He even did ISO tests [SIZE=2]for noise. [/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE] [/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE]All of the masters you mentioned knew their equipment inside and out. They were masters not only of their craft, but also of the tools of their craft. Just as a painter knows which b[SIZE=2]rush to use, the photograph[SIZE=2]er knows which lens to use not just for artistic reasons but also for technical reasons. I would really like to know where this animosity comes from in regard to anything more technical than what one[SIZE=2] reads in [SIZE=2]a manual. I would think about how the cameras we work with now will be the antiques of the future. And not knowing where the technology is now, or where it can [SIZE=2]go in the future[SIZE=2] will leave us ill-equipped to make decisions that will effect the outcome of our[SIZE=2] art. Just look to all those who come here asking [SIZE=2]which camera is better to buy and WHY it is better. [SIZE=2]One cannot answer questions like that from an artistic [SIZE=2]standpoint, only a technical one. [/SIZE][/SIZE]So [/SIZE]I would have thought that one of the points of this forum is to help those who wish to make educated choices about their investments in equipment.
