Originally posted by jbcampbell For me it's all about image quality...I shot Canon gear for years (1D mkII, 5D, etc...) and the to me the Pentax images look more like film. Canon makes great gear and they have some advantages over other brands, but to my eye Canon images look like video stills not photographs. that plus I love Pentax glass ;-)
Okay, everyone is entitled to their opinion but what the heck are you talking about?
It's perfectly normal to have a bias but this is ridiculous. Do you really, truly believe what you wrote? Are you suggesting that 10's of thousands of Canon photographers, including more than half the photographer's working for National Geographic could improve their quality by switching to Pentax.
Please don't say yes because even the greatest of the Pentax zealots might not be able to digest that.
I think that a rational mind will agree that the difference in lens quality when comparing the best of each manufacture is minimal and its hair splitting to say one is better than the other. Camera bodies? You can't imply that a $700 Pentax camera has better IQ than a $3000 Canon camera without expecting someone to take issue with that implication.
