I guess your camera was born in Japan but it's a German citizen so it would speak German with a Japanese accent.


This reminds me of my days with the AF stationed at Hickam in Hawaii. A young airman on my team recounted the time he was stationed at Warner-Robins near Macon, GA. He said he was dating a young Japanese lady, who grew up in the area, and it was a hoot to hear her deep southern accent. Growing up in GA myself, I can appreciate his experience.

I was out with a friend at the weekend and the discussion turned to have cameras become so smart that the photographer has now become less of a factor??

His motivator for this was the purchase of a new camera which he says eye tracks his subject taking away 98% of the skill and now leaving him to just wait for the decisive moment to press the button.....

He also stated a relative newbie in photography can now get the same results as a seasoned Pro with all the help / aides switched on.... so why would you want to come out of all the auto aides...

If asked a few years ago I would say the Photographer is the important factor... After this weekend and seeing his new camera in action I'm resigned to now agree with him...

The camera is just the tool a photographer uses to capture his or her vision. The creativity comes from the artist, not the camera. Why would one not desire the most efficient tool available to express their creativity? Having said that, the choice of which camera should match what one wants to shoot. The event photographer has different needs than the landscape shooter.

the cameras are very smart, menus are bewilderingly complicated.........especially so for people who used to carry 2 or more cameras to enable the

use of different ASA / ISO typically 25 Kodachrome to 400 ASA HP4 b&w . Now, in spite of all this sophistication in camera menu choice, lens focal length,

filters etc etc...... why do some photographers insist on subjecting their images to being "Photoshopped" to within an inch of their lives? Can be most misleading

and at worst garish, even painters, who have total control over their media try to resist "overworking" their image to the extent that it becomes unrealistic.
