I regret starting this conversation I read every line on every DP article and I guess I'm annoyed that I just sold my camera at a 1700$ loss because of a message on the screen that would not go ...

Theres too much fluff photos on DP even I could take good pictures in well lit scenes of flowers with my 30 yr old Sony, there just no apparent point My opinion...Jeff

In stead of all the bright colors and happy folks he should have shown some of the tear downs and dark graffiti and that would be a better test or is this just a personal statement and not any ...
