This is a fact in the design world as well.
What disturbs me is, so many producers are at the bottom of "the edge" versus the top.
AND.... they defend that to the death.

There are designers at both ends as well... but you will never hear low-end designers defending their position as "there's a market for it!".

Why?

Theory: Any level of designer has talent that cannot be replicated by a piece of hardware. The low end might have talent no one wants, and the top end may have talent no one can afford.... but they are always very clearly defined.

The "Photogs"... all group together. Because....

Theory: If anyone ever found out how easy it is to buy a camera and push a button with the basics of photography in mind.... we are ALL done. Let's face it, we've already lost 'Film' & 'Darkrooms'... "

'Market'? Yes.... but why has the BULK of the content producing pool been putting out shit for ten fucking years?

It's time to step up or step down. Owning a high-end camera is no longer a "pass". I've got everything sitting on my secondary desk that ALL of these 'producers' own.... and then some.

I will put $100 on the line right now.... my camera is a higher end model than 60% of the so-called "producers" on this board.
