>>210745 Yeah, so do I. This is another one I hate:
"Oh my god these pictures are fabulous (studio type object photography), your camera is amazing."
These two are two things that have happened to me lately, too:
A girl from school began asking me what camera she should buy for her photography class, and to take wonderful pictures (she did use the word) of her projects for her portfolio, without spending too much.
Tough, I thought. I pointed her towards a 400 buck XT. She considered it way too expensive. I explained why a DSLR has a higher price than a common digicam, and she seemed convinced that it's a better option for work-related assignments, such as taking pics for her portfolio. She then thought otherwise, however, saying that it's too big though, and that she would like something she can take on vacations or to the ocean and stuff. So I pointed her at a Canon A series, or an Olympus Mju (waterproof).
She liked my suggestions, but she found herself having to decide between a work-oriented and much more expensive camera, or a cheapass digi she can use to fuck around or whatever. She came up with a bright idea, though!
"Oh, I know what can be done then, see. You sign up for the same Photography class as me, and we share the DSLR, and that way I can buy a compact digicam for myself."
Bitch was talking about my DSLR right there. No, fucking bitch isn't hot, before you ask.
Now I got another friend asking me if I could take pictures of some lab procedures over the course of next semester for a book, with no word of money involved, or if I can lend him my DSLR. I'm in a bit of a pinch on this one, but I'm inclining towards a double NO.
