The point the creatier of this new bread of software driven I assume and
comedy driven animation having to do with insider digital photography mores
is ignoring or missing or not fully getting I think is THE major point and
that really is the point of the comedy.
That Medium format digital photography is a burgeoning field its like we're
at day one and its certainly not a consumer field.  Its not a whim driven
market these things are not point and shoots you buy at Kmart.

People doing go into buying a digital camera costing many tens of thousands
of dollars to shoot tethered with without having down their homework first
and to shoot a wedding with that night.
This is the point of the humor of the video but its a point I wonder if the
author himself gets.

Medium format photography is not about conspicuous spending of money at that
level its about conspicuous attention to the craft of higher end
photography.

What's a S2P?
