I’ve never been a big techie and have often shied away from the ‘leading edge’ of technology – too over-rated.<\/p>\n

When I present photography to different groups I often get asked “What camera do you use?”<\/p>\n

I usually say “It doesn’t matter, really.”<\/p>\n

And for many elements of photography, the camera takes the back seat to a human’s photo skills. I had a student once tell me they blamed their ‘inadequate’ digital camera for his lack-lustre photos until<\/em> he saw a fabulous photo show and discovered it was photographed on his ‘inadequate’ camera.<\/p>\n

Digital photography has come a long way in the last 10+ years. For the first six or seven years I resisted the digital revolution – cameras produced small files with marginal pixels and limited iso capability.<\/p>\n

I couldn’t imagine shooting work with those early cameras – granted most of my work was for stock or for clients who had no need for immediate delivery. Instead, I shot on well-tested film cameras and invested in a significant scanner to deliver quality files to stock agencies and clients.<\/p>\n

I eventually invested in digital cameras, of course. I have been waiting a long time for a larger file-capable, higher iso camera for my specific work. The Canon 5DMk2<\/a> was close to what I wanted but, alas, it doesn’t fit my lenses. The Nikon D800<\/a> has just been announced and I have been excited to have a look.<\/p>\n

Anybody got their hands on a demo, yet?!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
