This thread reads like something posted by T*world when he was around.

The choice of camera used is entirely down to the OP. Nothing is stopping you using whatever camera you like as photography is a subjective imaging thing. An exact physical science it isn't, although the pixel pushers at ISO 200,000 on the Nikon forum would have it that way. I don't think Avon & Somerset Police have yet established a camp on Exmoor for 'camera re-education' sponsored by the Canikon Consortium, so go with whatever makes you happy.

The whole premise is something similar to what I saw in photo show in Dublin last week where a woman teacher was buying her first 'serious' camera to photograph a school outing. She started off sensibly enough looking for an easy compact. Then the sales manager earned his money and she bought a very good Canon DSLR and 2 lenses. It took both credit cards of her and partner to pay for it. The clincher was the sales guy telling her that this was a professional grade Canon 'used by Pro's, you know' and will get you far better pictures than a little compact..'

Half the above is in the mind: It's a Canon / Nikon / Leica so it MUST produce better pictures than a Samsung / Fuji etc?

Truest words you will read. People seem to believe if it doesn't have a mirror box it doesn't take proper photographs , this attitude drives me nuts.

Trying to capture the images i see around me.

I know somebody with a D800e who thinks a Sony A7r is a "point and shoot".  From a guy who only shoots in auto mode...
