Hi

Longtime Minolta Dimage A2 and Nikon D70 owner. I just sold my D70
and although I really wanted a 20D I had to settle for a near new
and mint used 10D and all I can say is it is exquisite. Hold my old
Nikon and the 10D side by side and the 10D is quite a bit more
solid. The cheap plastic on my old D70 is aparent even the D70 guys
always say it is extremely high quality plastic, blah blah.. Of
course if I post this on the D70 board I will get flamed 100 times
and whipped to boot..

There is allot of very very hostile immature anti Canon rhetoric on
the D70 board to the point of being really insane. Since I have
been considering "jumping ship' I have perused this board for quite
some time and I can honestly say there is a different level of
civility and knowledge on this board. Actually the same can be said
on the Minolta board too. Anyways, just thought I would drop in and
say, woo hoo !

BTW, I bought the cam with the new SIGMA 18-125mm f3.5 DC lense and
all I can say is this thing KICKS the sh*& out of my old 18-70 kit
lense on my old D70..For a so called "cheap" lense its one of the
best I have ever used as a general walk around and full time lense,
sharp at all ends and is compact.

Cheers

I have read the whole thread... including the psychology test part.
There is ONE thing I don't understand. Why do people have to be
ians?!? That is
Canonians/Nikonians/Digitalians/Intelians/AMDians... It's just a
tool, dammit! I shoot Canon, but I am not a canonian (kick me out
if you think it's treason!). I'll be the first to admit the
limitations of my Canon. And also to praise it's qualities. And to
admit other camera's qualities. I shoot digital, but I am not a
Digitalian. I would love to use film as well, but the costs are
pretty much prohibitive for me now. I am writing this message on a
Windows XP running on AMD, but I also would use and love Intel or
Mac and Linux or OSX. It's just a tool!!!

Even more! I also go climbing. And I am not a blackdiamondian or a
Petzelian (for you city guys, those are big brands in
mountaineering world). I use the one I see fit, or the one who does
the best compromise for me... and this time it's about my life, not
about the quality of an image, be it even the best image one ever
captured...

And you know what? I am happy using my equipment. I enjoy it, and
maybe that's the most important. I am sure my pictures are far from
best, but I enjoy it. I enjoy shooting my Canon, I love going in
the great outdoors, either for climbing or to take pictures, I play
my Fender Strato clone and I feel good about it. They are just
tools and accesories to keep me happy, and I won't fight over my
choices. Life is too short, anyway...

So, I don't get it... Why people are so defensive about their
hobby accesories choices?

... scratching head...

Typical, if he does not understand what you said then YOU are the
stupid or less intelligent one heheeeee and then the reference
to his rear quarters … is a classical case of responsibility
transference and deniability, a non denial, denial or it’s his
posterior’s fault and not his …

This reply is a beauty, next …

I love people who keep putting their own foot in their mouth. You
make it too easy. He started his "experiment" a week (or longer)
before he even had this conversation he claimed to have had with
his fellow students and professor, this time using the Canon 20D
forum as the "bad guys", over in the Minolta/Konica forum. Looks
like YOU are the gullible one, believing him and just following
along. I guess that makes you a sheep.
