[john sharaf] "experienced and long serving technicians will be displaced by disposable cameras like the DSLR's you mention."
I agree.
[john sharaf] "Camera people at TV news operations have spent years honing their skills in photography, sound, editing and storytelling, only to be replaced by newbies with cheap cameras for "smart business" reasons."
I've never worked in news, but I have spent 10+ years trying to get better at what I do.
[john sharaf] "This is the same phenomenon that is occurring in many industries, where bean counters and anti-union management seek downsizing and cutbacks that seem like "smart business" but in the long term mostly destroy the business and reform it as something else."
We can choose to cling to the past and fade away, or embrace the change and adapt to survive. Part of that adaption may be finding new clients who appreciate quality.
[john sharaf] "it's easy to make pictures with fuzzy background with oversized imagers like those found in DSLR's (especially full sized like 5d's) but it takes skill to use them with a purpose in propelling the story telling."
I agree.
