from a semi-pro photographer:
Ten high-quality cameras in the hands of ten ordinary people will capture one hundred times more snapshots than one professional photographer can ever hope to take.
:crap:
It should read: Ten high-quality photographers with ten ordinary cameras will capture one thousand times more snapshots than ten ordinary photographers with ten high-quality cameras can hope to take.
Multiple photographers means that you get every shot – not just the main events. It also means that the main events are shot from multiple angles, letting you pick the very best shot possible.
:crap:
You can have a million photographers and nothing guarantees you get the shot you want.
Also, I wouldn't really call the Canon PowerShot A590IS a high-quality camera.
It's a neat idea, but it's no substitution for someone who knows what they're doing.
And my reply:
Hey, thanks for your frank response Big Guy.
They're trying to market to the folks who don't know how to use a camera, and who can't afford to pay a professional photographer.
They did a good bit of research to hit the right pricepoint, and get the best camera for the money.
I'm just sayin, not everyone understands what an http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-number>F-Number is.
I'll forward your input to my buddy.
Thanks again,
Doug

I was careful how I worded all of that. Note I said "snapshots" not "photographs". Professional (or semi-professional) photographers don't take "snapshots"...at least, I hope they don't!
I also said "best shot possible" on purpose...nothing can guarantee you get a shot that you want.
We're marketing more as a substitution for disposable table cameras than as a substitution for professional photographers, but I've hit that angle as well.
It's all good, though, I'm just glad he went to the website! We got like twenty-some visits from it, so, once again, thanks for posting the link there. Google also indexed the site so it counts as a SEO "vote" for our website.
If anyone else has a forum they post to where a link would be appropriate to post, have at it. It definitely makes a difference.

Looks good!
The only thing that jumped out at me is the Flash on the homepage. In Firefox/3.0+Linux, the Flash background isn't transparent, so you see two gray large boxes instead of the pretty green thing underneath.
Flash seems to have a handful of glitches like that under Firefox+Linux. You could slice that part up and put some pieces in the flash itself. I think there is also a hack that involves using a hidden iframe, but I haven't looked into that. Unfortunately, under Linux/Firefox, wmode=transparent isn't supported.

One of the many reasons why web programming makes me want to punch an infant. I had to resist the urge to stab a coworker of mine who said their favorite "programming language" was Javascript. Coding for the web, in every situation where I've done it at work, has involved more or less ramming a square peg into a round hole. Div/iframe popup windows, injecting HTML to workaround stupid browser issues, wasting hours debugging because you self-enclosed your script tag and IE barfed on it, etc. Mind-numbing really.

The bug with Flash is Linux specific. Happens on my Ubuntu box too, but site is still usable it seems.
