Not necessarily at all.
1. some folks have more money than brains.
2. some folks have expert relatives who suggest a good camera would be . . . knowing such folks have more money than brains . . .
3. such folks often don’t know much about what their TV does or remote does or DVD player or MP3 player or phone does beyond what they desperately want it to do frequently.
4. many folks get expensive gadgets to boost their sense of self worth amongst their friends and they often mostly collect dust except when being shown off.
5. I was a moderately well trained photographer by some of the better in the West . . . had some moderately expensive cameras . . . knew a lot about them and a lot about photography and still just scratched the surface of what the cameras could do.
“knew a lot about them and a lot about photography and still just scratched the surface of what the cameras could do.”
Good points all. I also use some high end cameras and don’t know ever detail of their operation since many of the bells and whistles are of no value to me. But, it still seems odd to not now something as basic as the fact that you can only shoot 20 pictures on a 2gig card and that shooting at 1600 ISO makes sense in bright daylight. I am skeptical of the fact they didn’t notice the UFO till they examined the picture, which means they likely have some skill with a photo application.
