Christine - Emily is still pretty low but, both are just as irresponsible in my opinion.. Though, Emily might have something to offer that I like
Ben - Without saying a word, you've said more than enough. Thanks.
My most recent instance of this cind of crap whas in Which Uk camera recommendation.
they had a low end comparison between the Nikon D40, D50, D80, Pentax K10D and K100D, Canon 350D. Guess what won for overall camera.
The crappy Canon. No offence to Canon but that camera was really craptastic in my oppinion.
And just to prove that I am not just being bias... what was also at the end of the page of these reviews. Yes!!!! a compatition to win a 350D.... Canon sponsorship anyone???
Overall that made me angry.
