I am sure it is not you. Maybe you should try a Leica

any manual camera can do good work today.

its mostly the technique and lighting. oh, and post processing (we don't do film anymore and so the final step IS the digital processing. its needed unless you get fully cooked images from your cam; in which case its not really a fully manual camera, is it?)

that is what happens with flash. up close. no matter the equipment. i generally avoid flash except for fill-flash in day shots.

photography is 90% photographer and 10% equipment. your problem is not the camera. (intention not to be demeaning but truth)


as to the question i use canon s90 which is a good mix of decent optics, feature, and sensor AND portability

for critical things, I do. for most things these days, though, I use 'poor mans raw' (jpg shooting at 'all settings = low'). low contrast, low sharpening, etc.

then pick up the settings in 'post'.

faster than raw and if your cam's jpg engine is good (oly's is) then I save a few steps doing it this way.

on a well processed image, its very hard to tell if it was from raw or jpg. jpg, today, can be *that* good as a source (but immediately upconvert to 16bpp and do all your PP at that before dithering down to 8bit for final save-as)

im a casual snapshooter rather with no made-for-print archival-quality artistic intents... so i shoot JPG (also with minimal processing).

even tho i have enough capacity to store RAW too lazy to do raw-processing

Nikon D3. I don't see the point of ever shooting jpeg. Unless I know i'll never make a print of it- like for sale item pictures. Same reason I don't see the point in ripping a CD in lossy format.
