You don't understand Zen Buddhism. Plus, your comment is just argumentative and generating unnecessary traffic. Begone, troll. FU trimmed to alt.photography -- Charles E Hardwidge

A few years ago it was "full frame is not good." Now it's "low noise is good." Nikon users are always, for some reason, jealous of white lenses. Canon: massive superiority complex that is totally unjustified. White lenses get them sexually excited, even though they don't really know what to do with them. Canon users are most easily goaded into a fight simply by saying "Nikon is better at....." Pentax: They just know that Pentax was once the most innovative camera company, and invented multi-coating, but can't seem to come to grips that Pentax is now Samsung. But they cling to the hope that Pentax will awaken from a decades-long slumber. Minolta: Yes, they still consider themselves Minolta shooters, even though Sony has begun the process of turning a once great company into a commodity shelf item at the mall. Sony: Yeah, right. Just a bunch of people who like multi-colored tiny cameras and don't really care about image quality as long as they can make out Aunt Gertrude falling on the floor dancing at the wedding. Panasonic: Nuevo shooters who buy the biggest brand name they can find. Hey, the TV was good, so they MUST make good cameras, right? Panny shooters spend their time shooting pix, and then explaining away the noise from Panny's crappy sensors. Olympus: Got me on this group. the cameras suck, so they buy them because they just want to be different, I guess. I mean, really, who would buy an EP1 instead of a GF1? Flame on!!!

But they got it (together with an unfathomable knowledge of all things photographic) after signing in blood that they will never reveal what is is nor publish any photo from it. They make up for the small sensor with a big ego. -- Bertrand, ex-Panny owner, "my "L" series is bigger than yours" |
