Yes, and your smug point-by-point over-analyzation of my entire post says absolutely nothing about your defensive nature and inferiority complex(es).Where I live there is a saying which would, roughly, translate intoOkay, either you're being incredibly biased because you feel bad for shelving out thousands for whatever camera you did buy.. or you're an idiot.So let me understand
You have Canon's lowest price 18 million pixel amateur camera and you are
lusting over Nikon's new D800? and asking why Canon don't have one yet?
Have I got this right?
If Canon did, would you wait for the entry level version of it?
Do u think Nikon will bring out a 550D body quality version of the D800?
If u need max Pixels and you are comparing Apples, why don't u own a 5d Mk2
then we may take your question more seriously
"He who first called a name, he bears it"
Name calling like that is rude and does not lead anywhere.
No. It is just matter of fact. With your angry outburst, you are the one who comes of as 'incredibly biased' and 'feel(ing) bad' about you camera choice.Yes, the T2i is the most affordable 18MP Crop-Sensor Canon have released.. but to call it "amateur" is about as ignorant as one can get on these forums.
And? A Eos 1D mark IV would not have gained you anything either, and you still think the T2i and the 1D Mark IV are both professional cameras?I bought a 7D at first. I had it for.. about 5 months. Realizing it had absolutely NO ADVANTAGE over the T2i in terms of my field of photography (i.e. Gigapixels and time-lapse), I sold it and switched over to the T2i.
Again, you are just showing your own lack of understanding what constitutes a pro grade camera. It is not megapixel count, and actually not image quality at all.If I were to regret this move, yes, I would buy the 5D. I did not choose the T2i because it was so-called "cheap". I chose it because it has 99% the photo-quality of the 7D and 90% the photo quality of the 5D and costs 1/2 and 1/4 as much.
Well nobody said that except - interestingly - you. Which suggest you feel rather insecure about your status as a photographer. Since you are so touchy and defensive about it.Now, if Canon rolls out a 9D and a 6D, both (let's say) 48MP, and all the 9D has are extra features I don't need, then sure, I will get the 6D and laugh in the face of anyone who thinks I am "amateurish."
Well, you called out that name the first time, and the second ...You want to make yourself feel like a big man by buying the most expensive thing on the market? Go right ahead, Mr. idiot.

I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every moment of it!
By the way, film is not dead.
It just smell funny
If you want to respond to my saying that the T2i is not an amateurish camera with "No. It's fact." then you can shove it where the sun don't shine (that's where the film goes, by the way).
No, of course not. It's the magic smoke inside, isn't itIt is not megapixel count, and actually not image quality at all.
Why don't you go and make yourself feel better about your shortcoming somewhere else.. Oh, maybe where they have more of those fantabulously awesome sayings.
