I recently went to a lab for some small prints , the girl asked me if the files were 300 dpi , I told her that the size of all the files was 3456x2304 px and that it was enough for small prints , her answer was that I needed MILLIONS of pixels not 3.000 pixels !

I HATE THAT ONE!!! Heard it several times. |
Me too! That one is a HUGE pet peeve!!! |
I didn't read through the entire thread, but my typical response to this one (because it was my #1 peeve comment):
"Thank you. This camera does take some really good pictures, that's why I chose it. It also takes really bad pictures...depending on who's using the camera."

That's like complimenting the chef after dining by saying, " That was a delicious meal, you must have great pots and pans."

What not to say to a bunch of photographers competing for virtual ribbons: "Nude Challenge" :-)

Or congratulating Michael Schumacher on all those grand prix wins and saying 'you must have a great car!'
Oh, but the car does matter. Hmm. Maybe the camera does too. and the pots and pans.
Ps my number one pet peeve comment is becoming that 'pots and pans' thing above. Of course the camera matters. Of course the photographer matters. Trying to denigrate one to raise the other is just deluding yourself.

More of a compliment to you than an argument, but your highest scoring images are with a D60 and a Powershot G2.

and features of both those cameras mattered to making those shots.
I couldn't have done a long enough exposure with the G2 to shoot the painting with light shot the way I did.
I couldn't have got the D60 into such an extreme position and framed it, but I could with the G2 and the flip out LCD.

I love this one....
Person 1:"How many pictures can you get on that?"
Person 2:"With this card about 200."
Person 1:"I got me one of them that uses a floppy, I can get 600 pictures on one floppy. Maybe you should get one of those instead."
not to a photographer, but an actual conversation when I was selling cameras.
Customer:"I am looking for a small digital that will fit into my shirt pocket."
Me (AKA Salesperson):"Well, we have a number of compact digitals"
Customer:"I want one that writes to a floppy."
Me:"How big is your pocket?"
