i've either said, or agreed with someone else saying "It's the photographer that makes the photo what it is, not the camera" now, whilst I believe that above a certain level of photographer, this is the case in about 90% of cases, I think, now with technology what it is, that in the consumer level cameras "actually knowing what you're doing" is fast becoming secondary. What do I mean? Have I gone nuts? Have I got proof?
My better half has been using an old Ixus compact of mine for a few years, it's an OK camera, I can take an OK picture with it - not the same as my dSLR, but 'OK' you know, looks good, works well.
No, I've not gone nuts... not yet...
Yes, I've got proof... M, the other half, with a little bit of framing advice, a little bit of how to advice is now taking brilliant shots - great exposure, good shutter speeds and stuff - all because she's using a new camera that does all that thinking for her... the Sony a55
