People often ask me for advice on whether they should buy this camera or that. Â For the most part, I avoid giving said advice, since, unlike Nikon seem to believe, it’s not entirely the camera or lenses that make the shot. Â It’s YOU, the photographer, and WHATEVER camera (lens) you have with you at the moment you come across something you want to capture. Â Take this shot here. Â I shot it with the X100, because that was what I had with me while running errands today. Â The big Nikon DSLR and the tasty Nikkor 14-24 lens were at home, resting up for the Scott Kelby Photowalk. Â Did I pout or whine? Â Hellz no! Â I busted out what I had and snagged the shot. Â And you know what? Â If all I had with me had been my iPhone, then THAT would have been the best camera and I would have captured something cool anyway. Â So whether you have Canon, Nikon, Leica, Pentax, Fuji, Sony, or whatever, shoot it like you stole it and have fun. Â Oh, and stay away from all the dumb forums where people go on and on about their pixel size!
