Shopping for a new camera
It never ceases to amaze me the reviews on Amazon.com about various cameras. Every so often you’ll find someone saying that “this camera doesn’t perform as well as my Mark 1″ or “the autofocus doesn’t work” or “this camera’s flash doesn’t peform well.”
One of things that I’ve learned is that crappy pictures are often the result of user error, not the camera’s inability to perform to expectations.
Granted, you pay for what you get. Naturally, a $9000 camera isn’t going to peform as well as a $600 camera. If you’re expecting the same quality, then you’re in for a real quick surprise. Or saying that the internal flash is slow to respond is pointless. You’ll get that with any camera. The best answer to a flash problem is to go to an external flash.
So, when you go out camera shopping, keep that in mind. Great photography is about 90% mental and 10% user.
