[QUOTE="Nathan Lanni, post: 221279, member: 14629"] Fish, for the sake of conversation I was splitting hairs and I appreciate Hippie's clarification or amplification of his original question. Please allow me to defend myself by way of clarifying my question. My point which is not relevant now, is that at some point there is always some level of manipulation going on. Even at the most basic algorithmic level a Nikon programer attempt to represent real life through digital coding. Or in the case of the d7100 creating a jpeg with its EFFECTS or SCENE modes, or if I radically alter White Balance for effect, etc., I can chose not to represent reality but again it's a programing algorithm. Somebody is always deciding what's real and what isn't. The bottom line is I'm not that serious about it, and as stated I was splitting hairs in order to find the limits of Hippie's argument. Please forgive me - it wasn't my intent to sound elitist. For the record I love technology. [/QUOTE]
