Is your camera good?

tecboy · Mar 14, 2015

Several volunteering interviewers asked me one of the questions,"Is your camera good?" Just curious, what is your answer?

Which camera?

Gary A. · Mar 14, 2015

I never been asked that question. Is this before or after they've seen your portfolio?

Yes, but I am ****.

Your camera? Absolutely. Even older digital slrs can be good. It gives it a certain digital vintage that today's camera can't. But for modern day high quality photos, anything D90 and newer is a good camera.

After they've seen my portfolio, and they said my photos are really good.

Then the answer is ... "Does that matter?"

Exactly, but I would not say that.

I told them, "yeah, my camera is really good."

How about.
"If I lied, would you be able to tell?"

I'd say "I dunno about my camera, but your mom was pretty damned good last night." Throw down the paperwork in hand, drop my pants, moon, and leave.

I'll have to remember to ask the cook at the restaurant if his stove is good.

Were they asking because they were looking for insight on purchasing one?

My camera's adequate, but the finger that presses the button is friggin' awesome!

Nope, I think because those nonprofit organizations have limited fund, and many volunteering photographers shoot crappy images. Lots of the images are underexposed, blurry, and bad color balance.
