I know the other professionals on this forum have had the same experiences with cell phone cameras and point-and-shoot jockeyswho believe megapixel count equals quality. I don't shoot a wedding these dayswhere there aren't twenty people with cell phone cameras shooting over my shoulder.I have to find that a little funny. I just imgine them goingdown to Eckerds and blowing that baby up to 36 x 54. I know it takes a picture...it just won't look like mine!


I do take image quality seriously becuase my customers enlarge my work and in more than twenty years of photography I've learned the lens is much more important than the body. Ido own a 1DMKII, but I use my XTiall the time. It delivers great results with great glass screwed on the front.


All you offended kit lens guys, don't be so defensive. Have fun and shoot to make yourselves happy.

I've re-read your posts and you are a troll who was called out. Cover your butt all you want. You came here anonymously to denigrate, not to participate in the positive spirit of this thread. Now you call people upset and offendedand think that makes it ok, while still defending something inappropriate. Am I upset? Am I offended? I despise anonymous posters (who troll)like you. And here's my name, on my thread. And I don't need to defend or apologize for anything I say here.


You could use your real name, and even help your own business with all the good folks who come here. You could meet people and make connections. But I guess you need to leave yourself a way to say what you want, and then CYA when called out.


Meanwhile, people are contributing their really greatphotos, and you're still here. Great.
