A large number of photographers do not print a great number of 30in prints and a smart person does'nt buy a 150mph car to drive to work. The camera is a tool. A good photographer has and uses more than one camera depending on the job. Nikon provides a number of tools and the 800 fits well into certain areas. It's helping move us into the future and video is future of imaging. Why call something a “dorky comment” just because it does’nt apply to you.

One huge advantage is the cropping capability. Most people want small crops of their digital images (I've printed thousands). This camera will give the shooter much more flexibility to bring out the small images within their bigger images. Also, when the detail is desperately needed as in photographing art or reproducing ultra detailed subjects, the Nikon should shine like a champion. Congratulations Nikon, I'm so proud of you guys.

I never did take them up on that offer, but I have plenty of other vendors, including wedding venues, florists, DJ's and cake makers, who do recommend my studio to brides. Maybe they just do things differently out there in New York. This article really provides nothing of value to the reader, and it's sad to see this nonsense being offered, complete with sensational headline, as something we should actually take a moment to read. Photoclique, you have just proved that you are not really worth my time. Perhaps a it's time to unsubscribe from you.

And finally what most people don't take into account is that photographic paper can absorb about 250 lines per inch--it doesn't matter what you throw at it, it will catch about 250. So for large prints it does make some sense, but you will rarely be taking advantage of that. Straight out of the chip you are talking 30" print--very very, few pictures get printed to that size. I suppose you could say that if you make, say an 8x10 and use one sixth of the information on the chip that somehow that extra information will influence the part that does get printed--what it will do is clog up the computer driving the printer--and you will probably be asked to downsize your image--I think Genuine Fractals works both ways.

Yes and no. Numbers 3 and 4 are not lies, one is a sales tactic that most experienced photographers know doesn't really work. Rather it makes one look desperate, and even when you say it...people rarely believe it. The other is a misconception about the industry as a whole. I believe that the real lie here is when a novice photographer says that they can do what an experienced photographer can do for a lot less money. Sure, anyone can push a button but is does take skill, practice, and knowledge to do what I can do with some measure of accuracy and art. Just because I can hold a paintbrush does not mean I can paint, or just because I can hold and play with a basketball does not mean I can play the game, especially like Michael Jordan. Overall, I get what you were trying to do with the article. It got my attention. Yet, what you did here was far more harmful than helpful. Inadvertently, you are fueling the thought that photographers as a whole "LIE" to Brides to get them to sign a contracts. Rarely do I post to things like this, but I had to respond because you are undermining your own industry!. We are selling ART not used cars. It really bothers me that a "photography based" website would publish something that gives the slightest impression that photographers are sleezy salesman. Sure, we have some bad eggs out there but this is very disrespectful and misleading. I do agree with some of the things mentioned in the article, are they the biggest lies? Yes and no.

I'm having a large chuckle here over the awareness that most so-called press releases are written, word-for-word, by the subject of the release, not by the journal in which it appears. Journalists, in general, are lazy and will simply print whatever is sent to them, often without even bothering to fact-check the content. If you know how to write them, PRs are a terrific way to get free advertising, but this is such a transparent ploy that it's kind of amusing. In fact, I'm astonished that "wedding CT photographer Steven Planck" didn't hotlink to his website every time the phrase appears. Alas, what this is not, is informative or useful. Tsk. Seriously?!?

And how just because someone has photographed a wedding that Justin Timberlake was at doesn't make them a good photographer. Also how photographers prices don't always reflect their worth as artists some come in as newbies with questionable quality with a big price tag to make them seem better. They are the ones putting a big buzz on these message boards most of the time. I disagree about only looking at reviews with photos. These are photographers if they where trying to fool someone they could just as easily post a photo. You forgot about how vendors are bridal fairs are the bottom of the barrel because the others book up by word of mouth quickly. And how just because someone has photographed a wedding that Justin Timberlake was at doesn’t make them a good photographer. Also how photographers prices don’t always reflect their worth as artists some come in as newbies with questionable quality with a big price tag to make them seem better. They are the ones putting a big buzz on these message boards most of the time. I disagree about only looking at reviews with photos. These are photographers if they where trying to fool someone they could just as easily post a photo.
