That your subconscious can operate. And your creativity flows through. Don't buy it because of its techno-wizardry or for its status. Neither one makes images. That comes from you.>>>>>> Hi Jim, Truer words were never spoken! In so many cases cameras are bought because the person believes "it will make great pictures!" and then they become disappointed when they don't get what they thought they would. Then blame the camera, it " must have a fault" or problem. We almost see that in here on occaision. Ralph Morse an old time LIFE photographer was one the people responsible for me learning about the value of equipment "Only if you know how to use it!" and any guy with the money can buy every lens and camera in the world and can still have his ass shot off by somewone with a simple camera if the guy with all the gear and cameras doesn't know how to use it. And no single camera is going to make you a great photographer, the "camera is only as good as you the photographer!" ted
