I think you pretty much answered his question, in the post above.
It just wasn't what he wanted to hear. Some people just keep
asking the same question over and over until someone tells
them what they want to hear.
He asked another question that was a bit naive. He wanted to
know if size matters. I'd say yes. If you charge someone a
couple thousand dollars for a wedding video and show up with
a camera that looks just like the ones Uncle Dick brought to
the wedding, they might wonder why they were paying him
the big bucks.
Of course if your demo real shows that you really have a lot of talent,
then that might get you off the hook.
