Uneducated real estate agents will be impressed with you telling them you can shoot their homes with 36 mega pixel shots – though it is overkill for most situations. Looks like an upgrade to the D800 or a similar camera that Canon will release will require a upgrade to my hardware as well.

@Michael Yearout

This isnt meant to be rude, but In the end why would Michael from uneekluxurytours care what you (or anyone else) thinks? There is only ONE person who matters and that is his client….period.

Considering the amount of time that was spent on this video, I am sure this builder wanted EXACTLY what was filmed and it was done very well. I honestly dont think any other style of video could have showcased the house as well as Michael did.

If this style of video is bringing in business for Michael then that is all that matters.

I always find it funny when people comment that there are too many “this” or not enough of “that without having a clue as to what the actual client wanted. If the client asks for something…you do it. Im not sure how you think you can run a business any other way.

Dynamic Range… Anyone know what the impact or meaning of the “91,000-pixel RGB sensor” is… I know in medium format cameras the dynamic range is wider… on my D3X I think it’s a 1,005-pixel sensor… so on the D800 will the dynamic range be better?

@Anne- Yes, I immediately thought of that too! I find 21 megapixels from my 5DM2 a bit of a nuisance… can’t imagine 36.

Thank’s for pointing out my error on Reverie… now that you point it out I recall Vincent’s comments.

There are some cool things about it, i don’t know if would use the video anyways, but the idea of 36 meg files for shooting re photos.. I know 5D shooters are close to that now.. but that is a whole lot of files to download and store… maybe wait for good prices on a gently used D700 instead

I ordered one the night it was released but I can’t imagine using it for general real estate photography. I think a lot of people who are excited about the 36 megapixels just don’t realize how large a cumbersome such a file is to work with. The video will be great though.

An interesting aside worth mentioning: Canon did not hire Vincent LaForet to shoot Reverie. He funded the project himself and begged Canon to let him borrow the 5DmkII over a weekend because he saw what a groundbreaking product it was. At the time Canon had no clue as to the potential of what they had made…

Comment on Adobe Listened To User Feedback Regarding Their CS6 Upgrade Policy by doug stroud

This is a slightly different perspective on the cost of purchasing a product that is controlled by the seller.

There are a great number of independent small businesses using/rely on Photoshop that are made up of one person, (I venture not to guess for being grossly incorrect- maybe a gazillion?!, but whatever it is- it is a LOT); photographers, graphic designers, artists, painters, and many others that I am not aware of in the professional field. Then you have businesses that range from 2 upward with much bigger revenue streams and I dare say way more lucrative. I understand licensing, so I am not speaking about multiple users using the same copy but multiple people supporting the single license; e.g. the print shop with the graphic designer, the sales person, the printer effectively lowers the cost of said purchase. It would be very interesting to see just how many one-person businesses use Photoshop compared to everything larger in Photoshop’s portfolio. Photoshop for the one-person outfit might be a 20% expense on their balance sheet while a larger outfit’s cost ratio drops proportionately, scalability is a key element that is not considered in the pricing by Adobe.
