- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
video might be a better reason to buy a dslr for most people than photos, seriously. The tablet and phone video still kind of sucks. Sure, they can get by with the phone or tablet photos in most instances. But the video doesn't seem that great on them still, least from what I have seen. And people LOVE video. i know i love video. Youtube is full of video lovers. One of the reason I have cameras is just for the video. It wasn't just photos the photos, that is only a piece of it, holidays I am punching up vid to get the kids not just taking photos. I had to use my cellphone for video a while back and it reminded me how much cellphone video sucks. It works in a pinch but...Thom Hogan is a dipshit. I cannot imagine why you keep citing him.
He's seriously irritated that Nikon is using VIDEO to sell a STILL camera? Yes, yes they are. Also, they are using WORDS. And they sell the STILL CAMERAS for a substance I call MONEY. I don't think Thom is actually that big of an idiot, he's just scrambling for anything to say that sounds vaguely sensible and slams Nikon. And he's almost making it.
look. your buddy skateboarding, kids fourth birthday, trip to amusement park, kids piano recital, beauty pagent whatever.. People aren't just taking photos. Most people are doing video. video was the evolution of photography. The reason we are so into depth in photos is to make them look "real". The reason video was a step up from photos is it was more "real". Watching that period of time, again. And not just a split second of it but as long as you want record of it. I feakn love video!
Maybe they should sell on that "if your cellphone takes crappy video and you are sick of it buy this Nikon, and by the way it takes pretty good photos too" . Or maybe not as people might start looking more at canon video..
video is mandatory for me and half the reason I have cameras.
