Trolling, trolling, trolling...

Just one more reason not to get a K-3, it could turn one into a...

My back yard is the woods. It doesn't matter how clean, or how sealed up my house is, they always find a way in. They find a way around perimeter control pesticides too. Spiders are sneaky. I honestly think they hide on the door frame outside and wait for me to open the door, then come rushing in. I find one at least once every two weeks inside.

HAHAHAHAHA!

Wait till it becomes big logotype on the front. See how much you love them then.

Maybe. But picture the PMS (Post Melt Syndrome) effect. Not a confidence booster.

Are you really? Can you face the guilt and shame, the pain as denial turns to an open of failure in your life? I admit that I succumbed once to the marketing, the freebies thrown in to lower my resistance, to what is now recognised as a disease, not a mere psychological aberration. Now I have to admit that failure daily. To survive, I have to work on my failures, knowing that if I slip, this group will be there to support me and give me strength to face myself once again in the mirror. Do you really want live that way, dependent on these uuhh.....(thinking) these helpful persons to get on with life.

I could be worse. I was just reading of a poor soul who, despite already owning both the superior 70D and the incredible D7100, succumbed to the purchase of a K-3 simply because the hociR threw in a grip and a cheap plastic imitation of a lens. Oh, the shame! That money could have been used to higher purpose such as buying half a Canon L 100mm Macro.

I would buy a quality product regardless of the name on it.

This is why I won't buy a black K3. No class. (We could get Mag to produce a diamond-encrusted version but ....)

$41,395. That's How Much Brikk's 24K Gold Nikon Df Will Cost You

You mean like high quality bacon, or igunaq, or lutefisk, right?
