message: Interesting as I find the information on Nachtwey's equipment, isn't it rather time-sensitive? At the very least I would imagine that he has upgraded from a Power Mac G4, and I'm sure his cameras are replaced and upgraded frequently as well. Perhaps at least a note of when this was accurate would be in order. --INTRIGUEBLUE (talk|contribs) 14:49, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think a section about Nachtwey's technique and/or equipment is useful; however, anything that we put down about equipment should inform an explanation of his technique. His choice of the Canon brand is less useful to the article than pointing out his use of relatively heavy-duty 35mm cameras in general (unless the Canon brand provides some specific benefit to his particular technique, which it doesn't seem to). The passages about his adoption of digital cameras as well as film and his use of a laptop to edit his photos in the field are both useful, since they also inform the reader's understanding of his "go-anywhere" approach. However, in both cases, the brand is relatively unimportant. In fact, if NBeddoe can find a sourced quote for his "equipment ... doesn't determine the quality of your photographs" line, that seems like a useful inclusion as well, and may help to better focus the article's general thrust.

text: Unfortunately I don't have a verifiable source for this quote; I heard him say it to someone at a lecture he did at the Royal Geographic Society a few years ago. I'll try and see if I can get a reference to a transcript.NBeddoe (talk) 11:43, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

text: I've added a link to a newspaper review of the lecture but it doesn't mention the quote. After reading the equipment section again, I really feel it should be taken out. It's irrelevant, time specific and does not cite sources for any of it. Unless anyone objects or can come up with a better version, I'll leave it a week or so and take it out.

text: OK I've edited and added a citation to Canon sponsorship. I couldn't find any citation to say that he has to use Canon gear though. Feel free to add the info if you can provide a source. NBeddoe (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 22:47, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Equipment 

message: I have removed this paragraph. It fails the SYNTH part of WP:NOR as it analyses an article and references just the article itself, hence being the perfect definition of original research. Also, it grossly over-represents Nachtwey's part in the article in question. Daniel (talk) 10:03, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
