You appreciate the benefits of owning a camera system that leads in cutting-edge digital imaging technology and that offers a wealth of body, lens, and accessory options for every level of photographer, from lowly consumer to top professional. You will switch to Nikon.

You’re the sort of person who would buy a $1500 DSLR body so your stash of thread-mount, K-mount and M-mount lenses from decades ago (collectively worth $75.00 at a flea market or yard sale) won’t go to waste; either that, or you’ve never heard of a Spotmatic, Pentax LX or Takumar, you just think you look cool sporting a day-glo red camera that takes real pictures. You think people are laughing with you, not at you.
(But that $75 lens costs $2,000 new in Canikon - so who's laughing now )

owners
You believe that Sony’s innovations in consumer electronics and video technology, its leadership in digital imaging chip production, its in-body image stabilization, and its use of Zeiss optics results in a unique design synergy and products of exceptional value—because that’s what it says in the product literature. You also believe in astrology, UFOs and the Easter Bunny.

owners
You’re the sort of person who buys North Korean beer, Peruvian underwear, and French cars, not because you actually like them but because no one else does. When people question your choice of camera system you respond that Olympus images have a certain “soul” and that photographs are what matter, not the camera. You have no friends.

Leica owners
You know that no other camera other than a Hasselblad gains as much instant respect among the cognoscenti as a Leica. Although this relieves the pressure of demonstrating actual photographic prowess, it increases the need to be familiar with the subtle differences in visual signature between an Elmar, Elmarit, Summitar, Summicron, and Summilux. You are either stinking rich, living in your mother’s basement, or one lens purchase away from a divorce.

As a lover of imported beers, and citroens I should in fact have an Olympus, not a Nikon... oh well.

I personally think there IS a difference between nikon and canon users tho!

[WhoDo]

ROFLMAO, especially at the editorial comments under Pentax!!!

[Patagonia]

Advice: Take the photo without flash...
...so Flash did not apear in the photo

From the Urban dictionary...


PHOBAR

-adjective, Acronym for "PHOtoshopped Beyond All Recognition." A play on the the more popular acronym FUBAR: "F**** Up Beyond All Recognition," PHOBAR refers to an image, usually a photo of a person, that has been retouched and airbrushed with digital image manipulation software on a computer so significantly, that the person in the photo is barely recognizable.
Of course she looks perfect in that photo, she was PHOBAR.

It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. There's a large out of focus monster roaming the countryside. - Mitch Hedberg

This one is even better http://www.petapixel.com/2011/03/10/...th-a-leica-m6/

It shows why a rangefinder is crap, and SLRs are good.

Think I'd prefer a Canon!!!

Think I'd prefer a Canon!!!

Huh, it was a Canon flash he threw wasn't it?
I thought it must have been because like most Canon gear they self destruct at the first sign of stress.

Brilliant bid of video though, amazing what people with too much time and money on their hands can do.

This is off-topic.

You should know better, Kym.

[ericimbs]

If you saw someone drowning and you could either save the person or photograph the event...
would you use a zoom or prime lens?

[Rattus79]

Zoom no doubt, keep the frame tight as they float away!!

[Bennymiata]

Better to video it so you can hear the sound of him gurgling.

[ericimbs]

hehe. good comeback.

Not sure of the truth of the anecdote, but heard of a person working for a company that offered photoshopping services for people, who had a customer come in with an old photograph of a horse, and under the horse, you could just make out the legs of a person on the other side. She explained to the staff member that this was the only existing photo she has of her father, and would they be able to remove the horse so she could see what he looked like.
