Just because we've spend $40k on gear does not mean we have ideas.
Is there any part of you that gives one shit what camera this was shot with? When you saw these images, did you think about "how many megapixels?"
http://stocklandmartelblog.com/2010/04/16/...life-and-death/I do understand (I think) what you're saying though -- just because you drop $40k on a system, does not make you competent to produce quality, consistently -- day in and day out.
My point about that Soccer/Guess guy was: The Canon is a more natural extension of his view of the world -- moving fast, changing angles, shooting thousands of frames, and since his Keepers are gonna get retouched to the hilt anyway, the tiny difference between an RZ and a Canon will get covered up even more by the amount of retouching.
