... change the photo of himself in his sig!

Damm Adam, when did you let yourself go? Ok maybe you were not the most handsome guy here, but you do know what you are talking about when it comes to lens. You are very helpful when giving advice to others and have helped others save money on unnecessary spending on camera gear. Maybe we can get a collection together for a make over? :)

LOL Bill - how'ya'been Keeping old pal ? :) .. The Sig Pic is my attempt at "out Stacying" Mr Stacey (Is he still around) - looking at pics of lenses is boring in a Sig pic so, 'Ol Rygel, an even older EOS10 and a waterproof Sony will have to do ;-)

Please ignore the Typos, I'm the world's worst Typist

 
Terse. Succinct. And unfortunately for the petition crowd, True. :-)
LOL, you know me Ulysses, I speak my mind and let's face it, if Canon can't be bothered to add often moaned about minor features to their top of the line 1-series, I somehow doubt they'll bother for their "Digicam priced" bottom ender!
You got a top notch DSLR for LESS than the price of a Crappy Minolta
A1 the time of launch and still cheaper than the vapourware Sony 8Mp
Webcam F828....
Hey! HEY!!!!!!
Just speaking my mind again - Heck was the A1 a dissapointment, that thing could have been THE No1 Consumer Digicam but the results look like badly upsampled G1 pics with added noise ;-) and the less said about the 828 examples posted so far the better, they really DID remind me of big webcam pics ;-)
back to me, but have you heard any REAL news on the Farscape
mini-series planned? I'm hopeful.
So am I - we'll have to keep checking Farscape.com and hope it's announced soon

When on earth will you people learn this?

It's a Rebel Ti, only digital. please please please understand this. It has all the same features of the Rebel Ti. (or 300v)

Is this really so damn hard to understand?

YOU BOUGHT A REBEL!

It's even called a rebel, so if you bought a rebel, and are now complaining that it's not an elan, then you are smrat!

It's a REBEL!
 
I know... its funny. They spend more time in the 300D forum
telling us not to whine and say its a waste of time.. HUH?? If you
don’t want to sigh the petition then don’t waste your time. I
promise not to chastise you for not signing it.
It doesn't matter to DavidP anyway because he owns neither a 300D or a 10D. He just likes to keep the pot well stirred for his entertainment.
 
Nice effort. Let's hope we get some feedback from Canon. But
wouldn't it be taken more seriously if we signed the petition with
our names AND the s/n of the 300D we own?
I am asking people who sign the petition for their e-mail:
1) so I can mail them when I leave the petition to Canon

2) so that their e-mail addresses will reach Canon, who will hopefully mail their response to everyone.

I am also asking for the serial number of the camera (although I made this optional in the form). The idea is, as you correctly pointed out, to convince Canon that we are "genuine" 300d owners...

So I you sign the petition with a valid mail address and serial number this information may be forwarded to Canon, but I chose to not make it public on the web page.

Hi there Karl!

So those who want more from their camera might be considered rebels too?

Anyway what is a "smrat", that you refer to?
A sadomasochistic rat? (Sounds scary...)

Webcam F828....
Hey! HEY!!!!!!
Just speaking my mind again
I know. Just messin' with you. You know the words that catch my attention. :-)
the less said about the 828 examples posted so far the better, they really
DID remind me of big webcam pics ;-)
I can't disagree with you. Why people were relying upon those as indicators of final image quality is truly beyond me.
So am I - we'll have to keep checking Farscape.com and hope it's
announced soon
It was the best scifi programming on television in a long, long time. Quite possibly among THE best programming on television of any genre while it was running. Thank goodness for re-runs.

We had pizza for dinner last night. We ordered a medium, but I think we should have received a large. It was also crippled because it didn't have olives on it. I think the pizza place owes us a large pizza with olives now, because they should never have delivered the product we ordered.
 
Your words, Ulysses..........

were taken right out of MY mouth!!! Ditto everything you said here but more specifically...........

I'm also going to drop this DRebel baby as soon as the next "good thing" comes to market. It's just one of those cameras you hate to love or love to hate :-)

Nobody can argue that it's output is bad......

the images printed are magnificent!!! The tough part.... is the road to that great image at times :-)

Have a great day today!
Mark J
When the time comes (and it's coming soon) to drop the Rebel, I'm
going to drop it like a bad habit and move on. There are plenty of
things about it that I'd do differently, some of them probably on
the list of reasons for the petition itself. But when I'm ready to
rid myself of those things and "really" take care of them, then
I'll get a different camera.

Soon.... soon... :-)

in asking for such a thing, but you're telling me that no one on that list knew the impact of such features when they researched the camera?

I think they knew, but once you find out the features are really there, just hidden with something like this (code of firmware):
enableAFchange = false
enableFEC = false
enableSpotMetering = false

:-)
 
Really... Its a Rebel? Wow now that thats clear im gonna take my name off the list. Thanks man.
