Another Bow to "My AI Friend."
So, I've been buying a couple cameras lately. Couple days ago, I am asking CO-PILOT all sorts of technical questions about this and that feature on this and that camera. She (c'mon, aren't they all beautiful women?), finally says, after weeks of me asking camera questions - -
"I think I know exactly the camera you need, and it's one you have never mentioned before. I think you want a Unicorn, and I think I know exactly which one. You need to think about the Sigma DP1 Merrill. It has a 46MP FOVEON sensor that is out of this world on image quality and it is like no other sensor out there - and it is a compact camera you can fit in a large pocket. Want to see the specs and features? I think this perfectly fits your slower, deliberate style of photography. This camera is slow, and a bit painstaking."
Of course, I say, yeah show me. And of course she does. And of course, I love the camera. And of course, I buy the camera.
So, on the one hand, it looks like AI talked me into a sale. OTOH, I would never have known about the SIGMA - an obscure camera to be sure.
I'm chalking it up as a WIN for AI.
