"Who needs a DSLR when you've got today's smartphone cameras?"

personally as a photographer i'm quite offended by this statement. maybe i should shoot the next wedding/event with whatever phone instead. wonder what other people here think of the statement?

mods apologize if this is in the wrong forum

Please lah. Why take life so hard?

 

[donut88]

maybe we should promote "Who needs Starhub when we have Youtube "

No. Why need starhub when we have the chiong box from china? Lol

 

[zaren]

somebody who needs...... to change lenses, fast shot-shot times, bounced flash, creamy bokeh, better low light performance etc....

the choice doesn't need to be mutually exclusive, you can own both a DSLR and a smartphone camera

 

[ninelives]

probably a photographer will get offended when somebody saying he/she can shoot better with a toy camera/PnS/mobile phone than this photographer using a pro camera, and he/she is Telling a Truth.

haha, very well said !

Sorry. I think your head's not screwed on quite right if you're so easily offended by trivial stuff.

Whatever replaces DSLR is not smartphone.

It's the shower head with a water-proof lens on it so that we can take photos under showers like Edison Chen. :bsmilie:

I think Edison will upgrade to a pro DSLR, 1DX or D4. It will make him feel more like a pro porn photographer.

Wa.... I think neck can break with so much weight on it.... :bigeyes:

You will get motion sickness if the shower head is not fixed to the ceiling/ wall type....
