>>Sony: When timing is everything...
Posted by Gordon Haff 3 comments

Use a Nikon?

Or at least that appears to be the message.

I opened my copy of Outside Magazine's companion piece of fluff, Go, this morning and was greeted by an ad for Sony's A700 DSLR with the tagline "In Photography, Timing is Everything." The accompanying photograph was spectacular and showed a leopard about to dispatch a baboon. Dust is flying and, clearly, timing has a lot to do with the impact of this photo.

It was also very familiar.

Comment too long. Clickhereto view the full text.

Lol sony. I could've understood that if it was an ad for their upcoming first camera - but I'm sure they had more than enough good images taken with A700 or A100 to illustrate the point that ad makes.

Nikon F3H with Highspeed motordrive will do 13fps

And a movie camera will do 24 fps, maybe even on 70mm film! What a twist!

Nice one Sony. Pure class all the way!

Looks like even Sony know their cameras aren't good enough to make a picture for their adverts.
>> BlackAdder !!bSWRwu/NqzQ
Oh man, so much material and so easy to troll the resident Sony apologist, Butterfly. It's like someone handing you the extra large stick for the piñata.

Still, the photographer and pictures are what I'll judge and I don't even remember Butterfly saying anything about his/herself. It's better when /p/ is more about the photographic themes than trolling.

sorry if i seemed like i was trolling, honestly if this was the other way around i would have done the same. It's not about trolling Sony, it just happens Butterfly is here and owns a sony DSLR. I've been posting here alot longer and will continue to.
>> Butterfly !xlgRMYva6s
>>93450
you see me saying anything about the add?

I'll play fun trolling when I want but its better if its about photos than gear...

Stage 2 guys, Stage 2.

Hey, I was only pointing out that this was going to feed the trolls and you'd be the likely target for a while. I know you haven't commented on the advert yet. You'll have to take some more teasing on the chin by the looks of that. The baggage that comes with Sony appreciation. ;)

Really? Urgh, that's even worse. Was it snide comments about the camera or was it a full-on pitchforks and torches job?

I can see it happening online where tempers are short and words more curt, but seeing it happen in real life is sad and sort of bizarre really. I'd expect a keen photographer to either be interested in seeing a different camera up close or or simply ambivalent to whatever else someone was carrying.

Some folks take the idea brand loyalty way too seriously, to the point of a religion. Pic related.

ha! i'm sorry butterfly, that shit has happened to me to from Canon guys. I was back up shooter for a friend's wedding, and the two fat arseholes with 1D wanted to reminded me how inferior Nikon were every time...

if they weren't from a Church and my friend wasn't the Youth Pastor there i would have just pushed them on their backs and watched them struggle to get up like turtles...fat fucks.

Oh my! Come now, you were on sacred ground. Try to think holy thoughts. :P

You get the same hate and prejudice with pro and non-pro gear too. If you go on some forums or amongst some clubs and groups and suggest that crop bodies are okay you'll have the mob at your door.

It wasnt anything major, i work with a bunch of guys who use sony cybershots (decent cams) and one of the nikkors was saying something about shitty p&s sonys, directly to me <3

doesnt matter because im a better photographer, and my sony is better than his nikonshit with fake wideangle strapon. enjoying your shittykitlense are you?
>> BlackAdder !!bSWRwu/NqzQ
>>93567

Give them a dose of the care bear stare. Did he have one of those screw-on wide angle modifiers for a compact? I've heard they don't work very well.

I think the best thing for snobs and fanboys like that is when they do see someone good at photography making better pictures with gear that's half the price or the very same gear that they've spent ages running down. A good boot to their egos. I've seen things taken with the cheap as chips gear that I'd have been happy to have any time.
>> Jeremo !iKGMr61IHM
>>93567

was he saying your camera was shit? or the cybershots? cause they are pretty shit... my cybershot was a piece oooo shit...

>>93566

hehe yeah, i just avoided the fuckers and hung out with non Churchy types. The Camera thing with brands if definitely there too, i remember seeing this Russian guy at the Opera house with a D200 and a fuckin 18-55mm kit lens attached... he signals to my friend and points at my D70s or something... give me a snubby look... i just returned a WHAT THE FUCK DUDE and pointed to my 17-55mm 2.8

... i didn't even know you could attach the piece o shit 18-55 to the D200... thought the D200 would die of shame...
>> Butterfly !xlgRMYva6s
taking this too seriously now fellow tripfags

he was just insiuating that my dslr was a glorified p&s. anyway as i said im a better shot so i dont care.

Hey, we've got to vent sometimes. Better here than one day snapping when we're out and jamming something uncomfortable up the rear end of some annoying git....rant rave, etc.
