For example, I can't remember now, but whoever who posted that photo of the toy figurine of Einstein against a rather busy background. I know my photos aren't perfect, but I would not have kept that photo if I took it, let alone post it on a forum.
Well, Christine, it was a bit tongue-in-cheek, tied in to the discussion a bit. It certainly wasn't meant to prove anything to you about photography. In fact, it happened to be one of a series of shots I took when I was testing a couple lenses for sharpness wide-open, bokeh, etc, something you yourself admitted to doing a few posts back.
(If you want to see more representative examples of what good equipment can bring, you're free to check the link in my sig, or look at threads I've started in PYP section.
More representative, not definitive by any means.)
Anyway, to re-iterate a point made by someone else earlier, from what we've gleaned in this thread, 'Q' target market seems to be:
1) "Doesn't care about IQ", YET...
2) Does want a interchangeable lenses an manual control, AND...
(weird combo there already..)
3) Can afford it, AND
4) Is prone to impulse purchases + has level of immunity to price/performance considerations, AND
5) Has very small hands, or thinks the typical mirrorless offering is 'too big'
Huge potential market, there.
