Ok I must say I’m a bit surprised. I stand corrected.

My assumption came from analogy to the 3D graphics industry where I’ve read that major studios (like Pixar) say the same thing: we don’t care about the software you use, we care about your work. And in my opinion the difference between various 3D modeling softwares is much bigger than between cameras.

But then again it might be as Don said: this isn’t a high profile job and they need someone to get on the spot and press the shutter after 5 minutes instead of an afternoon, even if the 2nd option would produce better results in the long run.

EyeDoc – like I said: I do get that, but I still think that it looks weird if the ad specifies the use of a very particular camera, instead of other skills.

In your opinion: how long does it take for an experienced let’s say Nikon shooter to grasp the differences when using a Canon camera? Genuinely asking here, as I don’t know myself.

However with all the “gear doesn’t matter” articles and posts that I keep seeing everywhere I would think that this is not really the main skill that should be sought after. I don’t imagine a lot of photographers would put in their CV “I know how to use Canon 5D Mark III”
