Thom Hogan had this excellent little post on his blog today:
Camera Users Explained
Oct 16, 2012 (commentary)--Rick Sammon recently made a
very cogent post that perfectly explains social media in a few words. I was immediately struck by what would happen if we applied this type of definitional logic to camera users:
- Nikon DSLR user: look at all these pixels of my donut
- Canon 5DIII user: see the video of my donut
- Crop sensor user: couldn't take a wide angle shot of the donut with a prime lens
- m4/3 user: the donut is bigger than my camera
- NEX user: the donut resembles my main camera control
- D800 user: with three donuts, I can't focus on the left one
- Fujifilm user: love donuts, they're so retro
- Pentax DSLR user: I'd rather have pancakes
- Full frame users: my donuts are bigger than yours
- MF users: you call that wimpy thing a donut?
- Compact user: can we move the donut into brighter light?
- Cell Phone user: Facebook post: here I am eating my donut
I thought his comment on Pentax users was quite apt!
