Part of the problem is, people hate feeling used or stupid. So they read a little or ask a friend. THen they TRY to pretend they know what they are talking about. This is kinda the fault of Used Car Salesman type sellers. They talk circles around you and try to blind you to the issues. So people are trying to compensate and doing a rather bad job at it some times. The honest pay the price for the dishonest. Some times, it's great to get those clients and prove their friend wrong, but more than not, it's just not worth the effort and resulting headache.. lol

the quick reply would be "the question is not is my camera good enough to photograph your car, the question should be is your car good enough to be photographed by my camera?"

I'd say you are blessed that you didn't get stuck with those idiots. You probably could not have pleased them, no matter what gorgeous images you produced!!!

If your asked again tell them you have a camera specifically designed for it. Its a refurbished camera. :)

There is a cure for ignorance, however; medicine hasn't invented one for STUPID yet. After over 25 years in this business you will never hear all of them. Has a lady come to me while shooting Motocross and ask if my camera was good enough to shoot a car that had been restored. I wanted to come up with a good one but only smiled and said as long as the car isn't older than me.....

As FDR once said to Joe Louis, "You're a credit to your race, the human race."

We can't get along because our philosopher of choice is a drunken violent criminal.

i'm married to a black woman. she loves to have me take photos of her reletives. By the way according to the black leaders Blacks can not be racist..
That last sentence is the most ignorant, racist thing I have read in quite awhile. I treat everyone the same, with dignity and respect. That is of course unless they disrespect me first. At that point I tend to walk away, but if they continue, they get blasted with both barrels (figuratively of course.) For all of the stupid things that Rodney King did in his short life, he did pose the perfect question: "Why can't we all just get along?" Also, you don't think Black people can be racist, check out this video. This was one of the "new" black panthers who were intimidating voters at the polling places in Philadelphia, PA back in 2008. Then due to the genius of Eric Holder, they decided NOT to proceed to sentencing, after they already got a plea of "GUILTY." Tell me this man is not racist:

I don't talk this way to anyone, of any color, race or ethnicity. This is just wrong.

Last time I checked, not even God can please everyone. You were lucky to get out when you did.

After my laughter had subsided I figure you had a lucky escape to be honest, nutters like that should be avoided

Before I owned my own photo business I worked for one of the best team sports photographers in North Idaho and Eastern Washington. He trained me to shoot team and individual (trading card) style photos, cheerleaders, etc. Over the course of two years we made nearly $100,000 just on those photos. In all that training and through every photo shoot I can't remember a single time when he asked me to take pictures of flowers or a landscape.
Some people just don't understand what it takes to be a good sports photographer...and no amount of talking or education will ever change that. Take a deep breath, throw down a cold one, and move on to the next job.
