this really aggravates me, Canikons giving flack to me about my camera choice. I am by no means a Pro photog but do get some moneys every now and then from newspapers event organizers and portraits, but now it’s still just an hobby, but everyone now and then you get a real evil (naughty bad word) Canikon and I think it’s a problem that is spawned form when they first started to click away. Kind of goes back to the age old question of evil by nature or environment. In this case by environment. When this happens I just laugh at them, because they are ignorant and what they know is very little, even for there own make let alone others like Pentax, and it’s really quite sad that they don’t know what the hell they are talking or doing, (using a 10-25mm ef-s lense on a 5DMIII) then whining about why do I have dark corners? Or when it stars to rain and they all start to pack up and put everything under cover because they don’t want to get there stuff ruined in the rain only to find out “you know your 50d is weather-sealed?”
anyway I digress, here have a look at this place…
http://www.raffles.edu.au/dmdocuments/EquipmentCosts_BAPhotov1.pdf “You will need to purchase the following items before starting the first PH major subject.
1. A Digital SLR camera capable of FULL MANUAL operation (minimum of 10 mega pixels). As a
guide, the following are examples of affordable semi- professional cameras that we recommend:
Nikon- D90 | Canon- 50D | Sony- A700 | Fuji- S5 Pro
You should be able to get a package (including a good quality lens and camera), approximately
between $1500- $2500.”
WHAT? What about the K200D, K10D,20D?? all are 10mp or higher (K20D) with better build IQ and glass IMHO.
see it’s from who they learn off and what they tell them. I just can’t understand the deep-seeded hatred in some Canikons towards Pentax and others.
I’ll stop now but just wanna say in sum up, Never met an bad (tempered/personality) pentax user, but have met plenty of Cankons that are…
Sorry for it being a bit of a long post
have a good one!!
