I wrote a really rotten exam today. My ego is thoroughly crushed, I feel like shite. Hence I believe it is necessary to ramble about why people who review DSLRs are frequently idiots. If you do now know what a DSLR is: it is a Digital Lens Reflex Camera. These (SLR) cameras represent a certain philosophy (and attendant technology) for photography that has been developed in the early 1930's in film cameras and has stayed and been developed continually. There are certainly more sophisticated technologies around, but we will not delve into them. The DSLR is the tool for the seasoned press photographer, as it is also the instrument of choice for the amateur who is willing to put a little extra effort into his pictures, and is willing to spend a little extra as well. Recently a few 10 Megapixel have made their entrance, and HERE IS A REVIEW OF THEM. Now it is time to bash the post. Here goes:
1. The review is already out of date. Olympus has just released the E510 and E410, quite possible the most value for money yet in the 1000$ market, and also the most sophisticated.
2. The Samsung GX10 is a Pentax K10D with its logos switched. Samsung does not yet make DSLRs. Count them out.
3. Scene modes don't count. Keep the scene modes in the point and shoots. Seriously, just giving me five notches on the mode switch: Auto, Manual, Shutter, Aperture and Program does fine.
More later, bye.
