Slightly off-topic...the father of one of the boys on my grandson's Babe Ruth baseball team recently purchased a Canon 70D with a 18-135 lens from Best Buy. He showed me the receipt, and it was almost $2,000 with bag, two 32 gig cards, bag, and some sort of extended warranty. He doesn't know what "RAW" is, he shoots on whatever Canon's Auto setting is, he doesn't know what ISO is, and he has no idea how to capture sports scenes.
Did he do the right thing? Not from my perspective, but he's happy. It was right for him.
do you really think that rig was right for him?
he spent way more than he needed to spend and won't ever take advantage of what he has.True, but so what? The same is true of some people who buy high-end expensive Macs and Adobe Photoshop (full version), but you don't seem to object to that. What online retailer stops orders to ask the buyer if he's sure that he needs this product or if he could use a less expensive one? Would B&H?
he has more money than brains and the store loves people like that.True, but if he would have gone to an online retailer like B&H, he would have got the same package. B&H would love him. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando FL
