Unless I plan to " go commercial" with my photos I travel with a Canon G10..it shoots "raw" fits in my pocket and produces excellent files.I feel so inadequate with my little P&S.

My lord, why would they do such a thing. Some kind of secret photographer ritual?I've known more than one photorgrapher who has washed their cards with their pants and after they were dry they downloaded the images.
Don't let Dewalt hear you. Them's fighting words.I bet a GOOD photog with a simple "point and shoot" could out shoot a BAD photog with 2 D3's and 6 lenses. Easily!
That was my second choice for a point and shoot back up; great camera.Unless I plan to " go commercial" with my photos I travel with a Canon G10..it shoots "raw" fits in my pocket and produces excellent files.
LOL, just mistakes. I've formatted cards mistakingly, dropped them in snow, lost them but never washed them. They are very tough little devicesMy lord, why would they do such a thing. Some kind of secret photographer ritual?
BTW: I don't trust harddrives because eventually they all die.
Excellent choice..especially able to shoot "RAW"That was my second choice for a point and shoot back up; great camera.
Yes, I really like those 2 card slots on the D3 as well. D3 is my favourite digital camera.D3...one of the BEST Nikons I've ever owned..and I've owned Fm, Fe, F2, F2A, F3, F5, F90X, F100, D1X, D2X,D2H, D70, D200, and D3 (Especially LOVE the 2 card slots as extra insurance, and one of the sweetest shutter release sounds ever in a camera) but...it's HEAVY especially with a 70-200 and Sb900.
I have the Canon S90 P&S as a take everywhere pocket camera. I only have cause for complaint if I take the same image with a D3 at the same time. If I only have the S90 with me, I am happy with it lol. One can't drag a D3 around everywhere for grab shots, but one can drag a P&S around in a pocket 'just in case'.Unless I plan to " go commercial" with my photos I travel with a Canon G10..it shoots "raw" fits in my pocket and produces excellent files.
Ok, what is "RAW" and why do you like it?Excellent choice..especially able to shoot "RAW"
At lot of people forget about point and shoots for back ups and their also good to pull out when pulling pro cameras gets attention from everyone. They get all nervous and even some put their hands out for cash.Excellent choice..especially able to shoot "RAW"
Digital is dream for us professional photographers because it reduces the work flow and deliver images to our clients faster than ever.Digital is a dream for the amateur photog.
OTB
Agree 100%One can't drag a D3 around everywhere for grab shots, but one can drag a P&S around in a pocket 'just in case'.
With a JPEG the camera makes the descisions for you. Compression, sharpening etc. It uses Lossy compression, it "throws away some information" and you don't have as much "processing" choices in "Camera Raw" software.Ok, what is "RAW" and why do you like it?
Also an excellent point.At lot of people forget about point and shoots for back ups and their also good to pull out when pulling pro cameras gets attention from everyone. They get all nervous and even some put their hands out for cash.
Exactly. In the past, weren't there contests to see who could come up with the best photo using the simplest camera? The photos were based on the content, composition and lastly the technical merit. And, there was no darkroom 'doctoring' allowed (if I recall correctly).I bet a GOOD photog with a simple "point and shoot" could out shoot a BAD photog with 2 D3's and 6 lenses. Easily!
RAW is what your are photographing without software improvements/modifications made in camera.Ok, what is "RAW" and why do you like it?
Yes, that will be better than my explaination on the fly lol.
True words. This implies a discipline that we should all aspire to when preserving an image for posterity. Once we learn the basics of photography, it becomes easier to do for every shot.For both Film and Digital photography I have always been a firm believer that the shutter should never be pressed unless you are content with the image.
The film image should NEVER be "fixed' in the darkroom it should be "finished" in the darkroom.
The digtail image should NEVER be "fixed' in the computer it should be "finished" in the computer.
