Are you so threatened by my ability to use the camera effectively? They are "limitations" to you, not to me. >Anyone can walk into a camera shop and draw their own >conclusion. Indeed. Some will have the ability to be able to use a given camera effectively. Others will not. Just as there are some who get worse results with a dSLR than they get with a compact digital camera. Reminds me of an old girlfriend who managed to spin out my heavily-modified Saab Turbo almost immediately after getting behind the wheel. I knew how to drive such a high performance car. She did not. Speaks to the drivers, not the car. Just as in cameras. Accept and embrace your own abilities, limitations, and tastes, and don't presume to project them onto others. -- Best regards, John "Assumption is the mother of all screw ups."

Not mis-stating, John, simply saying how it comes across to me. May not be how you intended it, of course. Cheers, David

What other cameras may or may not do is irrelevant. You do NOT know my camera's limitations because you've NEVER used it. You likewise do NOT know my abilities and limitations. All you DO know are your own abilities and limitations. I know how to properly drive a race car. (I have a competition license.) I'm guessing you do not. That's no comment on the race car. That's not even a comment on you. It just means you don't currently have the ability to properly drive a race car, not that you couldn't acquire that capability if you had the desire and opportunity. It's unfortunate that you don't currently have the ability use certain cameras effectively, but that doesn't mean others have the same limitations, or that you couldn't learn how to use them effectively if you have the desire and opportunity. I'm not trying to tell you what you can and cannot do with your camera. Why are you so arrogant and rude as to try to tell me what I can and cannot do with my camera even though you've never used the camera and have never seen how I use it? -- Best regards, John "Nothing is as peevish and pedantic as men's judgments of one another." -Desiderius Erasmus
