How about a full frame sensor that captures RAW files at 30 FPS? http://www.red.com/cameras As for who will take time to sit down and look through all those frames to find one? No one will, that's what software is for, and it's not that far away either. Misconception #3: Video will replace stills.

As for who will take time to sit down and look through all those frames to find one? No one will, that’s what software is for, and it’s not that far away either.

Sometimes, the two are confused with each other. Sometimes not. When a shooter is on an accepted "Who's Who" list of shooters, there's a greater chance the two are confused. But not always. My apologies if this sounds jaded and cynical. What do I know? I just shoot pretty women.

A photo editor only knows a lot about the photography used in their publication. He or she works, breath and sleeps in a very confined universe. Their ability to make one publication look great almost never translate in making any and all publications look great. That is why very successful photo editors never leave the publication they work for. They grow into them. Sure, I think there's some truth to that. You need passion for the subject matter and you need to understand the nuances of the genre you're covering. I think that hiring great photographers, making strong edits of their work and most importantly standing up for photography at the publication can take you a long, long way but ultimately you've got to pair the right photographer and subject and that takes a deep understanding of the subject and the history of photography that's come before yours. - Misconception No6: A photo editor knows a lot about photography.

I think if I hung a Hetherington Print in my home or at my office, I would get a lot of confused looks from the average neighbor. But congrats are definitely in order to anyone who can sell out prints that quickly.
