Re: Why is it necessary to tell everyone that your new camera is better than theirs?

Dear Kerry,

I appreciate your sentiment, but it is helpful to discuss the costs/benefits associated with camera upgrades.

I agree, but only when we're talking about cameras listed on the forum header.  We could post "upgrade" information about a few Canon cameras, Panasonic, Sony, etc and so on, but that's not the purpose of the different forums, AFAIK.

If I "upgraded" to a Canon 1d X, do you think it would be appropriate for me to start a post here, exclaiming how much better it was, than my (and your) d7k and d5100?

Folks who desire info on Canons or Pannys or Sony or Nikon FX only need to click on the appropriate forum, the FX forum in this case, and read all the hype and joy contained therein.

I had no troubles with my D7000 in really good light, but the product I gave clients suffered when I used it at weddings.

Several posters in this forum shoot weddings with the D7000, and they may or may not have the issues I had. Either way, providing more information and more samples is a good thing. Data is the best resource to use for decision making.

You don't need a d600 to get better AF performance. The d300 will do just as well, maybe better, for low light performance. That's the point of the different models in the Nikon line.  Better features, better performance, cost more money.

I never said my camera was better than yours. I said it was better than mine. Each of us has different needs, and the gear forums are here for us to learn and sometimes make better decisions.

I'm sorry if I offended you, that wasn't my intent.

I'm not offended, John. I'm not trying to offend you either. I just don't think these "FX IS WONDERFUL" type posts are appropriate for the DX forum. You may not intend it, but there are lots of folks here that can't afford to buy a d600. Yet seemingly every week, folks like you think you need to start a thread to state, and then try to demonstrate, that their DX camera is inferior. Seems rather rude and crude to me. But, I'm not a Mod, so it's just my opinion.

Kerry
