My conclusion on dSLR cameras

[Alex_B]

That's all I was trying to say. I objected to the allegation that PP is the "main reason" to buy an SLR.

Many users like RAW. Fine. Many choose not to use it. Also fine. However, don't try to tell me that PP is the "main reason" why photographers buy an SLR. That's simply untrue.

no, but with most SLRs you can only unlock their potential in PP. and the better the SLR, the more PP you need since less processing is usually done in-camera (to keep more control on the photographer side).

to me this all just appears very logical.

sometimes, on the internet, people just get hooked up in misunderstandings ... and then they think they are fighting, but they really are not

Some did. Most did not. Those of us that preferred Kodachrome couldn't, even if we wanted to. I didn't mean themselves, i meant that films were being developed one way or another.

Absolutely. If you would have read the entire thread, you will realize that that is my point. I objected to the allegation that PP is the "main reason" why photographers buy SLRs. See below.


Snapshooters with P&S cameras could choose their own film. Why did so many photographers spend the cash for SLRs? I am sorry, the type of the camera is tottaly irrelevant.

I didn't do it. Did you? Yes i did before digital. Did you ever use chemicals or any type of film? No matter how you want to call it, that is post processing.

Please identify where I ever made such a statement. I object to being misquoted. That was my own statement, made to illustrate a point. I never quoted you or misquoted you; in fact you just misquoted me.

No. You misquoted me and that disturbs me. No i didn't. Read my post again. You are making this up and that disturbs me.

Socrates, you are not the only person in this forum, on the internet, or in the world who sees things that way. I never quoted you or intended to misquote anyone. Chill out.

Oh, and there are no unprocessed photos. I used to think like that too, until i learned about photography. There can be underprocessed, well processed, and overprocessed photos, subject to taste and semantics. Either you process them, or someone else does it for you (eg JPG "out of the camera" = processed by Nikon). The point is, do you like the end result?

 

[Socrates]

Geee.. I posted in regards to RAW versus JPEG and your response included "why SLR over P&S".

I responded stating that the P&S market w/ RAW is very small...

and now you are telling me to re-read your posts? You just turned me around in circles for absolutely no reason.

You obviously have not read the posts in the thread. I was objecting to the allegation that PP is the "main reason" to purchase an SLR. If that is, in fact, true, then I would want to know why anyone would waste money on an SLR when there are P&S cameras that support RAW and allow PP. Please read next time.

and I never mentioned anything counter to your statement.....

I crop, adjust levels, curves, saturation, contrast on all my keepers. If I knew how to do more I would.

I intended to be a purist and forego any post processing. The reality is that some tweaking is necessary to bring out the full potential of your image.

Although everyone is entitled to their opinion, digging in your heels on one side of the fence or the other may make humorous reading but does little to the OP's original post. Has anyone notice he/she hasn't added to the thread?

how did this disinagrate into the most retarded argument in the history of this forum?
