Mike Johnston, aka The Online Photographer, recently asked his readers, “Why do you choose a camera?” The two choices he offered were simple: “Results trump everything else” “Results are important, but other things are important or more so.” The answers were quite telling, with many assuming that “results” meant “image quality”.
