But it depends on your budget and how much time and energy you want to spend on your photography. When you think how big the overall digital camera industry is then only a very small percentage of the buyers are going to be real enthusiasts or pro photographers. So there must be a vast number of people who just want a good but simple to use editing programme. Yes, there are those who visit forums to say they have a 2mp Acmecam and are having a few difficulties - oh and they're using CS2. Which makes me think they did'nt actually buy it or surely they'd be better off swapping their Acmecam for a proper camera!
I have no quibble with the fact that PS is the industry standard and that serious photographers are, of course, going to use it - but any kind of monopoly is usually bad news for the consumer. I want a bit of choice - that's what helps to keep prices down.
