As part of her photographic system, not as a critical review comparing just the cameras. How do they work when attached to a particular photographer, mainly Tina. A real life test for her way of working. If you are not going to use your camera on a tripod, why test how it works on a tripod? How does it work in your hand shooting things you shoot in the way you shoot them. I personally love tripod tests because that is the way I work. That is how I would test them, removing my handling ability from the comparison. I know I am shaky, and if you add shutter vibration and slow shutter speeds to that, I know I will have a high miss rate w/o a tripod. Not Tina's style, so this kind of test is meaningless to her. It might have great meaning to you or I. I fail to see why she is being criticized for testing in a purely functional way that has great meaning to her.

She is not testing the camera or lens. She is testing the photographic system, which includes the photographer and the environment in which the system is working. Real life tests will tell you how the system will perform in the world in which you are working. A test of the system has to include all variables as variables. The test of one item has to control all variables. Apples oranges. Who cares what the camera alone can do if you will never be using it under those controlled conditions? Keep testing and learning how the system works. I look forward to the amazing photos it will produce in your hands. Aram
