You can beat your neighbour over the head, or use it as a doorstop, or as a paperweight. Or throw it at the cat(s). Oh, lots of things.

But an afterthought… so if I regard it as part of the photographic kit does that mean I can include it on both shopping lists, and thus get two of them.

Oh yippee!!! Thanks so much!
:)

It is today, that’s for certain. Tell me: what can you really do with a modern dSLR and no computer?

You could take your media card to a photo shop and just print them straight off (but you’d have to shoot in JPEG). Short of that the computer is simply an integral part of the camera kit.

In fact, very good. That’s also borne out by a knowledgable mate of mine to whom I sent one of the RAW files for examination.

And this is with the basic lens that came with the camera!

So, despite my initial reservations, I’m beginning to feel a bit more optimistic now.

Re a more powerful computer. Now that’s not really photographic kit, is it? Anyway, that’s already on my computing shopping (um… wish) list!

And yeah; you need to update that wish list to include a more powerful computer!
