He definitely wasn't jumping all over him--I agree. By the way, want to know how "old" of a photographer I am? I bought my first good digital camera back in 2000--a Nikon Coolpix 990 which i kept for five years (which I still have, along with the box it came in and instructions as well as a very wide add-on lens--they will be collector's items in the future). Years later I bought a Nikon Coolpix 8700 and shot with that for another 5 years (which I also still have) then I bought a Nikon D 5100 (my first DSLR) which I shot with for two years and then a Nikon D 7100 which I still shoot with (I keep the 5100 as a back up camera) and have had for the last 8 years and am very happy with. I use a Tamron 18-270 mm lens most of the time but also use a Nikon 35mm (DX) f/1.8 at times when shooting in low light without a flash or doing portraits of people with a lot of bokeh behind them. The 5100 has a 18-55 mm lens (DX) on it and I also--just for the hell of it--bought a Nikon N 75 film camera (the LAST and best film camera that Nikon ever made before going completely digital) online for only $60.00 that I sometimes shoot with using Kodak Portra 400 ISO film and that came with a 28-80 mm full frame lens. I've traveled to India, Japan, Thailand, Portugal, Italy (three times), France, Spain, England, the Basque Country, the Dominican Republic and Canada with my Nikon D 7100 and taken some great photos with it. I've thought of possibly buying the Nikon D 850 professional full frame (FX) camera for its greater dynamic range (can go down to ISO 64) , higher resolution (45.7 MP) and 4K UHD video capability but, as of late, I haven't been traveling (hopefully by late 2022 Covid will have reached herd immunity and I won't have to wear a mask on an airplane for the many hours of flight to far away places and I'll start traveling again). Also, I'm not prepared to lay out the $3000.00 for the 850 since I've been so happy with the images that I've captured (many in RAW) with my good old D 7100 with my Tamron 18-270 mm lens. (I have no desire nor need for the "mirrorless" cameras that are being pushed these days.) Now I've read that Nikon may stop completely making DSLR cameras so maybe next year I might be able to buy the 850 at a bargain price. Think that I should upgrade or just keep using my D 7100 camera?

Do the math. Just out of habit, I probably shoot 36 or less photos in a session, times five minutes...three hours in which I could be doing other things. Many of my photos don't get any post, those that do don't take five minutes. Lets be generous and say two and a half times as long for nothing of importance to me. If I were on a trip and took 300 photos...

I just get tired of being subjected to the recruitment efforts of the monotheism of raw. I am not a possible convert.

To each his own.
