Because we believe we know best, any information that does confirm previous beliefs takes precedence over information against what we hold dear.
You will want to confirm your belief. No matter how smoothly you presented your pitch, how funny you were, or how natural your performance was, any slight hint of clumsiness will confirm you are a real-life Mr. And because your brain really wants to make you suffer, nothing anyone else can say will change your thoughts. Your memory for feedback is also dependent on confirmation bias.
A study by George Washington University psychologist Amber Story showed that our ability to remember feedback depends on whether that feedback is congruent with our own self-esteem.
Some people will go even further, only seeking out feedback from people who will back up their negative perceptions of their own self. It is backed up by an odd quirk of the familiarity principle. The familiarity principle states that we prefer people, objects, products, and so forth that we are more familiar with.
It is a mirror image. This phenomenon was studied at the University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee back in the s. Researchers Theodore Mita, Marshall Dermer, and Jeffrey Knight asked participants in their study which of two images of themselves did they prefer. One was their actual face, the other a mirror image. The researchers also showed them real and mirror images of friends and family. The researchers found that :. You have always seen a reversal of it. In the Milwaukee study, the participants could never quite describe why they liked their mirror face to their true image.
The difference is barely perceptible to your consciousness, but your brain does know the difference and prefers the mirrored you. Confirmation bias and the peculiarities of the mere-exposure effect come together to make sure that seeing yourself on screen is anxiety-inducing.
But you are literally the only person in the world that thinks this! No one else has the same biases about you, and no one else sees the mirrored you. You are the only one for whom looking at you on screen is odd. There was no way anyway that I was going to NOT go for a mirrorless quality system. After several tests , I chose the Panasonic system instead of the Sony system for the following reasons: The total Silence The autonomy of GH4 4 times the Sony A7S Autofocus much faster and accurate in low light The ergonomics The size and optical stabilization : the mm F2.
If Sony is better in low light, it has too many drawbacks for versatile use. But it is a very attractive product. My only beef is the price of their lens and bodies.
I love the IQ of my D, but really felt let down by Nikon when I had to send it back for oil spots and had to rent another camera as a backup for a shoot. At least the D performed well and with little noise when I turned it up to ISO to get that shot without the flash. I do love my Nikon glass and the thought of changing to a new system is just overwhelming. I think your faith is well-placed in Nikon Joanmg. These points are just a few criticisms that exist in the shadow of a great system.
How about 10 things photographers hate about Photography Bay making ridiculously stupid articles like this. Publishing pathetic garbage like this is a great way to get companies to support you…. I think not. Grow up and publish real news and reviews not crap like this. I think criticism is fair game when talking about cameras that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars.
If you disagree with those criticisms, that is fine. The arguments are admissible. Then everyone does what he wants with it. I think if Canon in the right direction, I think it is not enough. Yesterday I covered my son a music concert with GH4 a Summilux and Nocticron stabilized in silence and total discretion … In addition , I took photos of 8 mpx more by filming …. Some consistency, please. Subsequent models come out too quickly, reducing the market value of my investment.
My D is not worth much as a D trade-in. Competition as a means to control costs. After 15 months and 6 actuations bad pixels appeared, which was beyond the 12 month warranty. One wonders how much manufacturer testing takes place and where the built-in obsolescence is engineered. I chose Nikon because of their 5 year guarantee, and am very happy that I got what I paid for.
The camera brand is secondary to my interests: I wish to capture images of emotion and beauty, and Nikon ensures the means to do so. All very good points Mark.
I mentioned the market segmentation issue with Canon and should have mentioned it here as well. Iain, Nikon makes very good products but yes, if it continues to sell products with defects , it is clear that the mass market will punish it. I think that all these problems are just now when Nikon released a new camera equipment , it is scrutinized in detail and at the slightest default , it becomes tragic.
Best regards. This article has nothing to do with YOU, just the equipment that all of us use. It only has to do about the weak points of the cameras. Not the strong points. Thanks for being the Consumer Reports of the camera industry.
For the rest of us: Take the criticisms of your systems as constructive, so that each of us can work around them by using the best parts of our respective systems. I think that both Nikon and Canon are amazing! Lesson learned, I hope. Love Eric, great comments that allow further discussion. I would have the for half the price, keep up the great work! I shoot wildlife and shoot either in manual or aperture mode.
I have turned the aperture dial by mistake many more times than I can count because the dial is so close to the grip that I accidentally turn it while carrying the camera. This one physical characteristic has made me consider going to Canon on several occasions. Everything else in the world seems to attach, tighten or mount with a clockwise turn. I have always thought that the shutter sound on most Nikons is louder than Canon.
I used to be a wedding photographer shooting medium format Bronica cameras could not afford a Hasselblad. I use the same comparison with Nikon vs Canon. Later I considered going for the D but decided instead to go with the D90 ias it had the same resolution but was lighter to carry, very important when hiking up canyon trails. I too have been waiting for a D as a next step up the ladder. I have no interest in using my camera for video and feel Nikon could offer a stills only model and shave some dollars off the price.
Nikon did, in fact, deliver a stills-only camera — the Nikon Df. It does not appear that the removal of the video feature set from the spec list had any impact on bringing the price down…. I was a Nikon user on film for 14 years then went to Canon when the Eos1 came out. I now use a 5D3. Also Active D lighting, do you need this..? Like I said, happy Camera people with Canons and confused Nikon users trying to get to grips.
This is only what I have observed. Paul, I agree with you, when to go to the essential, Canon is more evident. I did buy into Olympus — before I bought the 5D3. To small and fiddly. I have big sausage fingers Otherwise it was great to travel with, water proof and fun to use. Remote networks, Slack and other tools have helped make remote work possible, allowing people to collaborate and be productive while reducing the need for people to be in physical workspaces.
For many workers, though, video calls have blurred the boundaries between work and home. We have allowed our colleagues a window into our lives that is often kept private. Not only has it made separating our professional and personal lives far more difficult, it has also strengthened sexism and classism — and put working parents at a disadvantage.
But when video calling under quarantine, all aspects of our lives are on show. Earlier this year, the Institute for Fiscal Studies and the UCL institute of education interviewed 3, families of two opposite-gender parents. The results showed that mothers in England are more likely than fathers to have lost their jobs during the lockdown — and were also doing more childcare and housework too.
For a lot of people, remote working has meant throwing on a t-shirt and a pair of tracksuit bottoms before logging on to emails, video calls and projects. And research shows this is far more likely to happen to women. Video conferences not only exacerbate the burden on women to bear primary caregiving and household duties, but also to do so with their hair and make-up done. But when an employer asks us to turn our cameras on when working from home, class and income divisions can become more obvious.
A lucky few may have their own office to work in. But if a colleague shares an apartment with three others or lives in a studio flat, they may be working from their bedroom.
