Multiple the "so many people" by 4 and you'll get the right amount.
Last festival I was photographing, this semi-pro was using a Nikon and once he saw my camera he knew how to appreciate it. He knew Pentax brand and knew the rep for quality lenses (though he didnt know about the K10D details etc).
On the other hand, three amateur photographers here in CT all have Canon XT(i)s and not only I had to hear about how the XT is better than a K10D (
) but I have to keep on explaining how I get some night shots by using my f/1.4 or f/2 lenses... not to mention that I already tried to explain the basics of photography....
It is just frustrating that my own mom paid more for a XTi than I paid for my K10D. Actually, i dont mind too much... that way she can't even ask to use my lenses!
