Would you stop with the 10d........
I used that as an example.........................
You still miss the point............
You have it in your head that you can only produce
quality images with the newest high price equipment.

It isn't just megapixels. The newer chips have advantages
that your 10D just doesn't have. Working in a theatrical
environment you probably have to work in very low light levels
from time to time. The newer cameras do far far better with
noise in low light situations and especially at high ISO
levels. Whether its worth it to you is a choice you make, but
that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Now your point about quality of equipment does not
necessarily mean quality result is definitely true. And it is
equally true that no one can create the best images with total
junk for equipment. What we are talking about is the middle
ground. The 10d in its day was the top of the line. I used
one way past when I should have upgraded. I am paying for it
now in that many images I took in the time where it was used
past its prime would have been more marketable with a newer
body. The when decision is not always so clear cut, but
upgrade you will do.
Knowledge, talent and experience are important, but did you
ever see Ansel Adams with a Browne???

My point is that not EVERYONE needs to
upgrade every year or so...
My work as a Theatrical Photographer does not require me
to print photos the size of a Bill Board............
I just get irritated when it is thought that the only
way to produce QUALITY results is if you buy the
newest and most expensive equipment!

That can work with a non pro, but if you do that
you are making compromises. Pros to compete with
other pros usually have to be working with something
close to top of the line. Yet as technology marches
on computers quit and the new ones won't run the old
software. The new bodies have features that DO
improve your work and improvements in the chip do
improve the quality of the files. Better resolution,
bigger file size ect but all other things being equal,
you work suffers if you don't upgrade. Maybe your
type of work doesn't make those advances important,
but that makes it a limitation now not a choice. At
8x10 a 10d did ok, but go bigger and you were going to
run into limitations. Unless you take enough that you
can throw away a body in 2 years, for most pros its
not cheaper

Hi Gang..............
Now here is something I don't
understand.................
Why is it when people talk about the "cons" of
digital
they always mention that you have to up grade
every
two years?
I used a Canon 10d for long time and since I was
getting
great results with it I never saw the need to up
grade.
At one point I got a large payment on a job and
since I saw
the need for a second body I bought a 30d, this
was when the
50d was in production. I didn't see the need to
spend a fortune
on the newest technology when I didn't need it.
After my camera equipment was recently stolen,
I bought a Nikon D90 .............not the most
recent technology!
If I am getting great results with the equipment I
currently have.....
Isn't buying new stuff every year or so more like
"Keeping up with the Jones'"
Than actually needing or requiring to have a new
camera?
