Rayetta and Crumby Do More New Camera Research

All righty then. A high priority, considering these dusty hallways and the prevalence of dust generally is a camera that that will not get dust on the pictures. We can't have dust getting on the pictures. We have enough trouble with dust getting on the lenses so we don't need additional aggravation from dust getting inside the camera and on to the pictures. Right Crumby?

Correct Rayetta.

So how many choices do we have for that kind of anti-dust camera?

Many Rayetta. Most of em are sealed up. Some of em are even water tight.

Hmmm. Of all those cameras, which ones are also single lens reflex cameras?

Er, there's five or six like that, maybe, at the nonce.

Are any of them within our price parameter.

Yepper, maybe.

All righty then, do any of those do image stabilization?

Noper.

Do any of them allow real time focusing and magnification with the LCD?

Noper.

Hmmm. Crumby, we really do need to figure some stuff out. Like about image quality gains we might espy in pictures from a DSLR. Like how much do we need in terms of image quality considering our potential for user error?

That's two separate issues, Rayetta. Plus, consider that lots of the pictures we are apt to take may need to be hurried up by circumstances which may be photographically adverse or involve Potential Safety Topics - environmental hazards. In those kinds of situations, the mass of the camera equipment can slow me down.

Yepper. All righty then, Crumby. Here's my opinion on what we should do. We should apply ourselves to user error issues with the extant camera until we discover its limitations. Then, we can use that information as the basis for getting a second camera that shall provide us with a new set of limitations. Maybe by then there shall be a dust proof camera, image stablized, with a viewfinder that we could employ to espy the subject from any old angle and a high quality lens assortment for under $500.00. Or we could acquire the cheapest, most featureless slr available and learn its limitations as we progress along simulataneously discovering the extant cameras limitations as we eliminate one user error after another. Or, we could get a camera more similar to our extant camera and do all that with it also.

That's three opinions, Rayetta.

Correct, Crumby.

All righty then, to make it four opinions, four for the Crumby Ovate that is, we could also get some equipment that might help extend the limitations of the extant camera that we might need to study up on while we evaulate image quality in terms of user error with the new equipment associated with the extant camera.

Hmmm. But Crumby, if we act upon the fourth opinion, it is my additional opinion that we should only potentially acquire equipment that would further enable the limitations of, not just the extant camera, but any other camera that we might acquire, anon.

Yepper Rayetta. If it were possible to share opinions, I would share that additional opinion you just tacked on to the fourth opinion.

Course you would, Crumby. And that would make the fourth opinion, a considered opinion, because more than one of us considered it.

Er. That's right Rayetta. I never really understood what a considered opinion might be before now. But you may have elucidated the spell, considered opinion, fer me.

Course I have, Crumby. OK, since we are iced in anyway, we may as well spend some time researching all four of these opinions.

All righty then.

All righty then.

Er, Rayetta. In your opinion, what is a decided opinion?

Hmmm. Crumby, you don't need to know about decided opinions. Decided opinions are the in the realm of me, not you.
