This is how I size you up Derrel.
You are
very frustrated person these days. Since a few vouch for you as actually having been a resource to the group in the past, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume this is a recent thing for you.
You try to spread your misery. People like Lisa, myself, Artichoke and others, we enjoy our S3's. I for one don't go around dissing other people's cameras, especially on their forums.
The only people I have taken to insulting are the ones that drop in for a quick hit,(an insult,) and then run, i.e. Fotomat.
There is a reason that I have an S3 rather than the other half dozen I could be using right now.
I don't feel the need to be reminding the people on the Canon group why I'm not shooting with an 20D. The same for the D70 or D2X on the Nikon group. Or the
stD on the Pentax group.
I don't make LONG lists of the negative posts of these cameras.
Insult my photography? Fine, if you feel you need to, I hope it makes you feel better. Evidentally you need something. Perhaps when I get some time I'll scan my 4x5's 6x7's and 645's and post them. But so far, nothing I have posted was intended to display photographic skill. Simply technical aspects, like noise, dynamic range etc.
What I find interesting is, one post sends you off the wall. I've seen people here bear all sorts of name-calling. Fujinista, Fanboy, clown.
And one little 'Nikonista" from me, (along with a smiley,) and you go into one of your long negative tirades on the S3. Too funny.
Regarding some of the other morons here. Wingnut, the boy with toys. I've never met him, but I've met so many like him. A boy with toys. Has to have the latest and greatest. That's where his sense of ego boosting comes from. You got a 4MP camera? He needs an 6. You got 8, he needs 16. He won't feel comfortable without more, faster, bigger. And of course, part of the boost he gets is from coming in and reminding you what he has, and how much better it is. Funniest thing is watching his reaction to the 5D. He has already insulted the entire group interested in the Canon 5D. He clearly feels threatened. He's running out of toy-running-room. Only 4MP seperating himself from the crowd. LOL.
The Satori guy. Likes to use his self-promoted credentials to put others down. Clearly another "Frustratorato," he seems to be frustrated that there are actually people satisfied with their cameras, (and themselves for that matter.)
Oh, and about my technical skills. Since 1982, I've shot with 35mm through 4x5. A few of the cameras I owned over the years. OM2, OM 3 and 4T. Nikon F3. Pentax 6x7, 645, Rollei SL66E. Sinar 4x5. And all the accesories, flash meters, etc.
From techpan to producing my own cibas, I've done it all. I just don't feel the to tell the world.
And about my being a dpreview junkie. I could care less what you think. Just another name being called by the "Frustratoratos."
I own and run a successful business, and much of my day, (and sometimes my night,) I'm on this box. Odds are I could buy and sell all three of you 5 times over.
But money doesn't make you happy. Neither do cameras.
I hope you learn that...
Dillon,
You are a total dpreview JUNKIE. I am sick and tired of your
personal assaults on me,newbie. Last week I told you how tyou could
GREATLY improve your weak technical skills by using a polarizing
filter when you try and do outdoor fill-flash. ANd,of course, NO
thanks from you.
You are a distrurbuing little poster Dillon James....you've racked
up 700 posts in two months and are simpyl ALL OVER these forums.
You really are very,very,very weal photographically. You need to
spend more time reading and learning and less time worrying about
me.
I am tired of your personal slanders Dillon. Back off. Okay newbie?
