Because if you check this forum, you alone have spent more megabytes boasting/trying to convince people of the superiority of P&S than any of the assumed DSLR minions. > Further, there is no need to prove anything to the likes of you.

I'm just > letting you know how true professionals think. Plenty of professionals (ie, people who get paid for their pictures) use DSLRs. Of course you won't consider them as "true" professionnals because they don't use a P&S. This is just a circular argument. Thanks for the laugh. -- Bertrand

Surely that implies the sensor is inherently HDR; Fuji's SR (and successors) is the only one I know of. Applying tonemapping to a RAW is NOT HDR. BugBear

I merely state the facts every time a DSLR-worshipper is deriding all other cameras. You don't read and comprehend very clearly do you. But then that's to be expected of anyone who has their mind engaged in blind-worship. Put some more blinders on. I don't think you've brainwashed yourself enough.

Here's something a little more challenging for your child's-level and focal-plane-shutter-crippled DSLR. Physicists doing studies of magnetic reconnection in helium plasma at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory using a "lowly" Canon Powershot A700 with CHDK's ultra-fast 1/40,000 of a second shutter speeds. It's rather impressive. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3191/3014649023_ec609452ba_o.jpg You can't use flash to stop an illuminated subject's motion. Only a fast shutter-speed can provide the images they need. A DSLR is useless to them--just as DSLRs are useless for many professionals who have found that fact out on their own for all manner of subjects. They don't sit around listening to DSLR-Trolls in news-groups. They're independent adults, they think for themselves. Here's a couple of other fun ones of someone playing around with a BIC lighter and using ultra-high shutter speeds in P&S cameras. Neither of which can be done by using flash to stop the motion. http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/chdk/images/e/ee/Bic1.jpg http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/chdk/images/8/87/Bic2.jpg The most interesting thing of all, when taking images of very fast moving subjects you can preview those shutter speeds in real-time in the EVF before you've even tripped the shutter. When taking images of a Dremel-drill grinding-wheel rotating at 30,000 rpm, you can see the image stopped in real-time as if you had used a high-speed flash, right in the viewfinder without even taking a picture first to see what's happening. It's quite amazing the first time you experience this. Your camera's shutter and electronic viewfinder acting as an ultra-high-speed strobe without any bright flashing strobe lights. Sorry, but yours and all others' DSLRs lose big-time if you are going to use shutter-speeds as any kind of selling point. It also proves how very useless those optical viewfinders can be in many situations. Thanks for bringing this up. I'm sure that many people were unaware of just how crippled their DSLRs truly are when compared to many other more inexpensive and more powerful P&S cameras. |
