Photography

Back when I did school photos for a short stint we just had a small external monitor with the lines on it already. This was in 2006. It had to be custom made. Today you can probably do the same thing yourself for about the same as the as what Sony is asking, only you can get seven or eight inch monitor instead of the tiny 3 incher on the back of the camera. If I was taking a mass amount of portraits all day I’d think I’d rather use that money on a larger monitor instead of firmware upgrade.

I don’t think these companies understand that these sorts of money grabs are only going to hurt them in the long run. People are going to get so sick of it that governments well start to regulate it. Or a competitor will see it as an opportunity to steal your customer base.

I rarely use to see people looking for an alternative to photoshop, now I see it all the time. People are sick of companies trying to squeeze every last penny out of us. There are so many alternatives that are currently aiming for the more casual user. It’s only a matter of time before a successful attempt is made at pro and serious users.

Adobe Premiere seems to be losing users left and right. Davinci seems to be super ascendant right now.

People are sick of this crap.

Yeah I was like there must be a practical solution for a lot of situations too, but I understand the astonishment.
