If it's good enough for Peter Hurley ...

Re: If it's good enough for Peter Hurley ...

Do you really think the devil needs more advocates?

The specs of the R has been criticised high and low since before it was announced, and yet, it appears to sell quite well. Is that because all the buyers are ill informed or because they see beyond the measureable specs and also value useability, the ability to seamlessly use EF lenses, and the general quality of the raw files? I think it's rather improbable that the majority of photographers would spend more than USD 2000 to buy into a system without weighing pros and cons.

I don't think PH actually has to pay for cameras. The marketing value of the ten seconds in this video is worth more to Canon than the cost of giving him a couple of bodies and a bag of lenses. But he also has a reputation to protect, so he'd probably not endorse a camera if he couldn't work with it.

Enjoy your Sonyes, I'm sure they're wonderful cameras and I don't feel threathened because you've chosen differently.
