Mark, why do you seem to have to diss all other photographers? So a 42MP
camera will give 'little photos' compared to your all powerful 12MP? As
George has said, there are my different streams of professional photography
and you only seem to have experience of a few of them.

Personally, if I was commissioning something I would be less worried about
somebody using a Sony A7Rii (with good lenses) than I would if they turned
up with an elderly D700 ;-)

A shame I cant click on their little names and look at their little photos
so she how legit they don't look!!  Became usually when you read this kind
of stuff  ( supposedly legit photographers using half assed consumer cameras
of no track record ) its second rate wedding photographers who design
software during the week and its all wonderfully fuzzy and romantic and next
month they'll be trying out the newest camera concept that everyone's gotta
have.
