Nah, I guess he saw the one digit number on the camera and thought... Canon: 1 digit usually FF, Nikon 1 digit usually FF, ...
@redbirdpete: lol. Though to be fair manually focusing a DSLR is kind of hard, a lot harder than with an old SLR. The viewfinder is simply too small. My sensors just don't have the MP count to do that (or maybe I need new lenses...).
@Ricky: I have set up my Pentax in a way that most folks with or without a DSLR can't use it without instructions. Does that count too?
Btw., I've seen Claire Fisher (Six Feet Under) use a K1000 IIRC, then her boyfriend buys her a Nikon DSLR and she says something like "cool, then I can even use my old lenses!". Uuuuuh...
