Title: Break Even Point of New Camera via Future Sales
Post by: tab62 on October 04, 2012, 16:12

Okay, I just did the math on future camera (see URL below) and my future sales on Panther Media: With $15 per years in sales I could pay of the new camera in just 2,400 years  ;D

You're forgetting the pay off. If you invest in that camera now then the quality of your photography will improve because, you know, you've got a good camera, and your sales will increase to $17 per year meaning you could pay it off in 2118 years.

You have to think of the bigger picture (ooh, see what I did there?)

I think I'd hold out for the H5d which they've just announced .. it may cost a little more but it will improve your photography that much more again.

What ever camera you get make sure its got 'P' mode for professionals. If you want to submit to microstock 'M' mode works aswell. There's also 'A' for Alamy if you want to do RM.

And Tv if you want your work to be seen on television.

Just get an iphone - those other cameras cant text or make any calls - can you say 'useless?'

A father was visiting his son and asked for a newspaper.
Incredulous, the son said, "No one buys newspapers any more. We just check on our iPhones."
Disquieted, the father said, "OK, give me your iPhone then!"
The fly never knew what had hit it.

Beautiful. I want the "P" shirt but I think most people wouldn't get it. (Missy has them for sale on her site) a MWC parody.

Do you think someone might try to Copyright the letter P soon?  ::)

A good sense of humor is a must in this business...

So the P mode is professional? I was wondering what the heck all the letters on my camera where...
