Nikon P5000 Again

It’s actually hard for me to believe how much mental energy I’ve devoted to deciding whether or not to capture images with the Nikon P5000 compact digital. On the one hand I can have it everywhere, all the time. On the other hand, the image quality just doesn’t compare to either the Leica / chromogenic BW film system or the Nikon D300. On the other hand, I’m less serious with the P5000. I don’t evaluate exposure or work subjects the way I do with the serious cameras.

When issues are so undecidable, I tend to believe that the goals are unclear. These various image capture systems result in entirely different results for which I have not set relative values. The single dimension that they vary on is portability, Decision theory would dictate that I chose based on that dimension and accept the varied results as the outcome of deciding on the basis of whether I can carry the kit.

I'm an MD, PhD Neurologist who left a successful academic career on the Faculty of The Johns Hopkins Medical School to develop new treatments in Biotech and Pharma. I became fascinated with how people actually make decisions based on the science of decision theory and emerging understanding of how the brain works to make decisions. My passion now is this deep explanation of what has been the realm of philosophy, psychology and self help but is now understood as brain function. By understanding our brains, I believe we can become happier, more successful people. View all posts by James Vornov
