@bittertruth bro. you are absolutely right.. not everyone with DSL knows its settings or its importance. ive seen people use D800, 7D, even 5Dmark ii and ive seen people shooting it on auto mode which is pointless. its a nice video you posted here. yes skills are the most and lighting is the most... but like behoov-me bro said.. there are limitation on point and shoot or phone cameras and with the absence of those features it will be very hard to improvise.. yes during some settings or during day or with enough light you can take amazing images with simple camera phones of point and shoot cameras. but if the person with all those ideas is give a good camera, trust me the images they'll capture will be out of this world which will never be possible with simple cameras.. i believe BEEHOVE_ME bro will agree with me...
@ beehove_me bro i totally agree with what you have to say and yes 24-70/2.8 is best if someone wants to learn and try out new techniques... but if you are really looking into details and stuff i'll recomment 85mm/1.2...:) plz try it i bet you'll love it..
