Highly advanced and creative photographers don't spend their time playing with hardware. Photographers without talent concentrate on the science they understand, rather than on the art that they don't.

The next time that you're in a remote ravine, on foot, 70 miles from the nearest pavement, and happen upon a new fungus that is slowly moving across a log at the rate of 1-inch per hour; I hope you'll have remembered to bring a laptop, hefty backup batteries, and required software along with you if you plan on documenting its life-cycle in focus-stacked and HDR stacked time-lapse frames. Thus astounding all those that have never seen such a life-form before with its remarkable beauty and symmetries in the glowing light of the forest. I'll just press a few buttons on my CHDK camera and make a few menu selections instead. Your comment is that of a desperately insecure idiot that cannot embrace, comprehend, nor facilitate the science that will be used to create the one-of-a-kind art. I bet you didn't even realize that you'd be revealing that about yourself with your lame and platitudinous comment. Of course you didn't. You're precisely that much of an idiot.

Well put. -- Best regards, John Buying a dSLR doesn't make you a photographer, it makes you a dSLR owner.
