An honest question as I
I agree somewhat with the linked thread that by the time a stable tray is added sufficient to carry two strobes the form factor of the TG6/7 is larger than my mirrorless Nautican NA6400. And very much less capable. But I am still of the mind that a Pro level Tough camera is needed to move beyond cell phone snappies. Cell phones do take good pictures, whatever good is. But as soon as I want something different than what the cell phone thinks I should want, we have a disagreement, that is me and the cell phone and probably the same with an auto only TG.
I guess I am splitting the fence, I think there is a niche for a Tough type camera but to differentiate it's capabilities from that of a cell phone, it must have full manual control and a one inch minimum sensor. For photography or my attempts at creating art, I want a camera. For snappies of cute cats and dogs and kids and birthday parties, sure, a cell phone or an auto only small sensor camera will do about equally. Yes, there is an ap for simulated manual control for an iPhone and it is about as cumbersome and painful to use as brushing my teeth with a pair of pliers. Maybe they should make a camera with a phone in it rather than a phone with a camera in it.
Edit to add, when I push the shutter button I want the camera or whatever it is to fire--NOW--not when it decides to or if it thinks it is focused or whatever it may wish as I also will not look at photos of fish tails (or tales
), not mine and certainly not anyone else's fish tail photos. With my Nauticam, I can back button focus/prefocus and when I push the shutter button there is no shutter/focus lag. Once you go Back Button, you cannot go back .
An honest question as I sit here holding my iPhone, how would I run strobes? I have no interest in video, will not take video and will not look at anyone else's videos. I do photography only and I need strobes? Did I mention I hate videos and especially other peoples videos? I do not even know how to take a video with my Nauticam, I guess it can do it -----. I have some GoPros but not sure where I tossed them aside.
