F828 : Maintaining the JEDI FORCE

[holeinone]

Funny thread you say :nono:

It happen to everyone, who dun want to posses the best equipment gear as long as one could afford.

For me I would love the DSLR as I like something heavy dangling from my neck.

Oh sorry what I mean is if the person have $$$ like $2~3K, he would usually buy the most expensive camera he can afford.

not true tiger, i will buy the camera with the best feature to suit my needs. not the most expensive.

You are right too Zekai, some will go for feature, some go for looks, some go for the most expensive, some go to.........

But ironically, I do see some go out of the way.
I remember someone (not be name) spending a few $K buying a lot of accessories and within 2 months, give up hobby.

Actually, if you've been surfing clubsnap for long enough, ever so often such a person appears:

(1)Buys expensive digicam. Thinks 'I don't need DSLR, digicam good enough for me!' But pictures are lousy.
(2) Thinks the solution must be to get a DSLR!
(3) However, person has buyers regret since the digicam was so expensive
(4) Spends all night and day thinking about DSLR and how a DSLR can improve his lousy photographs and posts many messages to clubsnap about DSLRs vs digicams etc.
(5) In the meantime, suffers 'shutter paralysis syndrome' - unable to press shutter release on inferior digicam while thinking about DSLR. (of course digicam technically no shutter release but i think the syndrome is the same)
(6) Posts "WTS: 1 month old digicam...."
(7) Buys DSLR
(8) But pictures still lousy

I'm not kidding. Do a search and see. It has happened a few times. Post after post after post until he buys the DSLR.

Haha... this is prove the quote for Luminous Landscape
"We need to develop some perspective. Do some reading. Find out what equipment the great photographers of the past 75 years have used. You'll be shocked. In almost every case it's basic run-of-the-mill gear. Great images aren't produced by great cameras. They spring from the eye and soul of people, not from pieces of metal, plastic and glass. The rest is techno-masturbation."

Hi Ricleo, thank for your compliments.
I cannot be moderator lah, cos not an expert in all technical and technique in photography.
My level is just Padawan only, not even to level of Jedi Knights or masters yet. :sweat:

It is only that I am eager in learing photography and wanna to explore all the aspect of Sony F828.
Hence, I done a lot of posting, question, answers and lobang on Sony cameras, accessories, price and also some posting on the mindset on photographer's thinking, like decision making and so on.

The is the recent record of Sony F828 users activities for the past few months.
Apparently, the temptation of upgrading th DSLR are great (the Dark Side is strong)

So, would you stick to F828 for a year or two. Or will upgrade very soon.
How would you all view F828 in your own opinions?

All the listed name are Jedi Knights only.
My name is not listed because I am only a Padawan.
Your name (Snowspeeder) is not listed cause you are a Jedi Master.

Then I respectfully seek to be downgraded. "Jedi Master = Master Photographer". I'm still a long long way to that title because my mind is still not pure and unenglighted.
