Nothing to back that up, as usual, which isn't terribly surprising because it simply isn't true. -- Best regards, John Buying a dSLR doesn't make you a photographer, it makes you a dSLR owner.

I did a shoot in July for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, where one of the 'official' photographers was shooting a P&S. My brother shot a wedding with a Fuji P&S, leaving his 35mm SLR in the bag. It doesn't happen often. But it does happen. |
