Originally posted by MadMathMind My vast experience in arguing on the internet has taught me that when people start arguing the "finer points" of things that are functionally equivalent, it has nothing to do with the merits of the cause. It's entirely taking sides and defending one's personal brand as a reflection of oneself. Spend about 20 minutes browsing a video game forum that has both Xbox and Playstation on it and you'll see this rather quickly.
Doesn't mean that's the case here. Anyway, I just wanted to post this question for him. I don't mind if he doesn't answer. It just seems to me that maybe he jumped to a conclusion too soon, perhaps helped by the fact that he shoots Pentax and actually wants to defend that. In which case it's the same thing, really.
He also made general remarks about CaNikon shooters, for which I also don't understand the need. I went on two photography trips with
photographers, not Canon/Nikon/Sony/Olympus/Pentax/BrandX shooters. I just think, if you feel the need to criticize people by the brand of camera they use, the problem is with you, not with those people.
