Dr Nigam agrees to doubling slick NW6/NW7

[Arashi]

And now the big question:

Does anyone want to put money down that Dr. Nigam knows how to use it?

Well, like I said, my collegue shot this photo with a $1000 cam:http://i.imgur.com/QosxBQP.jpg

And he knows NOTHING about technique or shooting photo's. He just pressed a single button. It's not a perfect photo by far, nor is the cam a professional camera, but its 100x better than the one Nigam's shot.

But what any doctor would do if he had solved hairloss and wanted to demonstrate that to the world is, hire a photographer and have him shoot some pics. Is it really that hard to figure that's going to make the case 100x more credible ? I really don't get it.

im having my doubts :S

I'm sitting on the fence!

You have to ask yourself if you were Nigam why ask Mwamba over to India if you're not confident in your own procedure? You'd have to be stupid!

I think Dr Nigam should make a promise to himself to never upload photos of this kind of quality. I don't think he has any bad intentions, perhaps just naive and/or too busy to care.

Lets pretend I'm Tracy and I have a 'Good Quality' camera. Now lets pretend I'm Dr. Nigam with said 'good quality' camera. Its a Canon 7D, costs about $1,200 for the body. Let's put a macro lens on this bad boy.. say, a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens which also costs about $1,200. This lens is capable of producing shots like this:



Here's the equipment:





Here's a similar camera with the lens mounted:



So now we have Tracy's 'Good Quality' camera. Great.

Ok let´s go with the assumption he was just naive and that he figured shooting 1 megapixel photo´s with a $169 *video*camera was the best way to convince the world of his technique.

He promised to show us better photo´s soon, so let´s wait for that.

So what is your opinion Gaz. Cause I really don't get it anymore. Does Dr Nigams really not care about presenting credible photo's ? Does he just not know any better ? Am I just being suspicious here ? Probably, right ?

But if I had cured hairloss, then there's just NO WAY I would even think about shooting horrible photo's with a 1 Megapixel cam like that. I'd hire a professional photographer to do the session. Isn't that what anyone would do in that position ?

You're right, but it was a little bit funny.

That isn't necessary

Probably a disposable one from the local corner shop.

[Arashi]

I just don't get it. What is Dr Nigams thinking ? That this is really the best way to convince the world of his technique ? He's smart enough to cure hairloss but just doesn't understand what it takes to convince people ?

[hellouser]

Aren't there tools to deduce that ? Doesn't the cam info save to the header ?

Shhh... I want to verify truth.

Camera: Sony HDR-CX190E

LOL. That's not even a photo camera, but a $169 video camera.

Turns out I was pretty accurate when I said it was a 1 megapixel photo:

(from that review) " Many camera phones are better. (Unsurprising given that Sony's "5.3-megapixel" photos are actually 1.3-megapixel photos bloated up for specsmanship.) "

I'd like to hear from Dr. Nigam himself and tell us what camera and lens he's using for the photographs.
