Unbiased Opinion- which brand

[mal from cessnock]

Goodness me, all that gear, you must have a veritable million terrabytes of images to share and a healthy income to go along with it or do you have other interest like a fast food outlet franchise serving poultry originally from the USA?

Please, say again? What does photography equipment have to do with poultry from the USA?

[I @ M]

That is a very good question Mal.

I guess the answers may be varied but I guess in the long run;

Does a comprehensive gear list guarantee excellent images?

Is the expensive gear all paid for from purely photography?

Or is it bought by other business interests such as fried chicken outlets and the cost doesn't relate to the final image quality output.

Where do we poor people see the images all those cubic dollars of gear have produced?

Honestly, I love my nikon dslrs because they sit well in my hands and the button layout is perfect for my big sexy fingers... When I got my first dslr all I new was that it was in most respects better than a compact. When I made my decision, nikon won over canon purely because it felt good in my hands... that's it. A lot of people forget that photography is an art form and the camera is the artist's tool to create. Forget brands, just go with what feels good in your hands and worry about all the other rubbish when you become corrupted like the rest of us, lol.;-)
