Photo students today - equipment
Kids are very very smart today and you bet they do a lot of research on the Internet before making a decision. So all kinds of DSLRs do come up but "Mirror Less" are mostly absent or extremely limited, and forget 4/3rd Systems. Again Photography Students buy mostly pre-owened Equipment, so that getting a hit on-line for 4/3rd or Mirror Less Cameras are very limited as their sales and market population are limited. And their prices are not cheap if they find one compared to a pre-owened DSLR. Also one cannot buy the idea that students do not have knowledge of DSLRs so they turn up in Class with a P - what with the abundance of folks carrying DSLRs on our streets, TV, Paper or Magazine Ads. There is a joke now that Photography Students will turn up for Photography Lessons with their Hi Tech Smart Phones - well why not? And here is "proof of the pudding" - my grand daughter is three & a half years old - she insists I let her have my Pentax K-5 IIs to take a "pretend" photo.

Photo students today - equipment
Hi Igor, regardless of the Photography Course or Class a Student will always benefit with a DSLR or a similar advanced camera. And why not when DSLRs are so cheap today. In fact many Students buy pre-owened equipment which are literally selling for peanuts if you look up the KEH website. I bought my first SLR a Pentax K-1000 SE (made in Japan) in the late 1970s for some $ 258 from Oldens in New York. Jack up that price in todays $$$ terms and you will see how cheap DSLRs actually are today. I remember giving my Daughter a Ph.D student at an Ivy League School in the US a Pentax MZ-5n with a Microscope attachment, so that she could better use it in her re-search work in Genetics. Oh my! How happy she was. Just my 2-cents. Regards.

Re: Photo students today - equipment
Mark, I was not referring to you when mentioning a "black and white" picture. Rather I was cautioning a potential reader of the information you've provided. (And other PDMLers have already started speculating about the absence/small quantity of certain categories.) As for your and others being surprised about your students not hearing about 4/3rds or mirrorless, I can offer one (out of multiple) possible explanation. My good old friend whose daughter is roughly of the age of your students wanted to buy a reasonable camera for his family trip, and then for his daughter to take for her study-abroad program in China. Not being involved much in photography since his student years, he automatically thought about SLRs (obviously digital, as he's heard about that). Because in his mind there were P's and [D]SLR's. I pointed out to him some of the 4/3rds cameras, and he was surprised and happy, as those offered him (and his daughter who was skeptical about DSL's weight) much lighter photo bag, with the quality and amount of control more than sufficient for his needs. I wouldn't be surprised if some of your student's decision for/information about the camera could've been influenced in some similar way by their parents. Additionally, my personal (very subjective) impression is that in the past 2-3 years, the term "4/3rds" is not highlighted in the advertisement as much as it was when it was first introduced. And even the term "mirrorless" is not pushed forward too much in the advertisement for the mirrorless cameras.

I never said it was black and white. I'm just putting out a small sample of what's going on. As the course name "Digital Photography II" implies, this is a second-level course. (I bet you can guess as to what the prerequisite course might be called.) It's purely elective for all majors. What was more telling to me than the cameras being used was that none of the students had even *heard* of mirrorless cameras. Or the Four-Thirds system. It will, as you say, be interesting to see how this plays out over the coming semesters when I get a bigger sample size. As for the percentage who show up with P cameras, rather than going up to 45% it should drop closer 0% after we have the requirement of an interchangeable lens camera mentioned in the course description in the catalog currently they don't know until they show up for the first class and get the syllabus. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
