Nope. It was both. It was the intersection of both.
I posted in reply to [wdross]:
"That is why OVF can still be as viable as EVF. Some
of us that really don't have PP software have to get
it right the first time because even with a RAW file
recorded there will be very limited software to
process it if any at all." IOW, aint me who mashed
together viewfinders and workflow. I simply replied
to the existing mash-up that was already there.
And yes I said that the statement made no sense.
What
DO viewfinders have to do with a user's lack
of software ? That is what makes no sense. Plus I
do stand by my comment that PP software is just
as important to SLRs as is batteries and SD cards.
And unlike batteries and cards, basic PP software
is supplied free/included with the camera.
Every advanced or enthusiast camera comes with
enuf free software to do the job. Even when I've
delivered ten dozen perfect SOOC images to the
client, I know that she will then PP them for her
specific needs. It's just what's normal.
==========================
There's reason phone photography is so popular,
and using an SLR where a phone is really more
appropriate also makes no sense. And even the
makers of phones and of SLRs acknowledge that
their wonderful products deliver results that can
need some PP, as some phones and SLRs lately
have a useful degree of PP built in. Refusing to
go beyond SOOC results makes no sense at all
unless it's mainly Point and Shoot, which is the
turf of phones ... and they do an excellent job !
FWIW, I noticed that a few of my cameras offer
in-camera PP. I've never used it cuz the tiny 3"
monitor is not a very inviting working space !
Maybe I should just junk my PC, get a huge TV
and an HDMI cable, and do my PP in-camera ?
Is anyone here already doing that ? Stranger
things happen every day .....
