Done, I'd like to see the results too when they're completed.

Andi Lo · 04-27-2011, 08:20 AM

Haha, that shopping part is fun

I end up spending stuff for Canon fullframe with $5000 though

MPrince · 04-27-2011, 09:26 AM

I filled out the survey. How long will it take to mail the $5,000 check to me? If you can give me an idea, I can go ahead and start ordering everything, thanks so much.

Ditto. The K5, NEX, and A850 are all awaiting shipment.

Filled out the form, too.

I shopped for a new tripod-head combo, a wr zoom and fa ltd's.

But I guess I don't really need it. Anyone interested?

For $5000, I went for the A900.

Added my 2 cents worth. Made me realize that I lust for lenses big time.

I filled it out and enjoyed it. Best of luck with your case study!

Then you got ripped off! You should be able to buy three K-5s for $5,000

I could not spend the $5k on cameras, I would like a K5 and a Fuji GW69 and that is it, so I went for a large format printer A2 or bigger or a used drum scanner. Though the thought of $5k on film sounds good

Christine Tham · 04-28-2011, 05:23 PM

I was going to fill out the survey, but ended up didn't.

Photography to me is about taking photos, not comparing brands and buying gear.

And more specifically, it's about taking photos with what I have (which I must admit is more than I really need - some days I only use one lens and really reluctant to change - other days I like to try a bit of each).

To me, the survey would have been more interesting if it was asking what kind of photos do I like taking, how has it changed over the years, what would I do differently now, what would I like to learn, etc.

No $5000 check for you!

I understand your opinion. I would find it interesting to write on photography itself; the history, trends, or in what way digital imaging has changed photography as an artistic medium.

As my course is a business masters that requires a business/industry case study, my survey is tailored for this purpose.
