You've never worked in the commercial world have you? You actually
believe in things like 100% market penetration ? You believe that
people will scrap an investment of THOUSANDS or tens of thousands
of dollars in glass to move to the Canon just because it has better
features ? Do you believe that everyone who takes pictures for a
living is just a spoilt little rich kid ?
Well, what OS are you using at the moment? Let me guess, is it
Windows?
BZZZT! Mac OS X on my laptop, FreeBSD on all of my desktops.
How do I know?? Coincidence?
No - you don't know. You're assuming and making a complete ass out of yourself!
There was a guy on 10D forum selling his entire gear (10D, 17-40,
70-200, 35, 50) for $3k only... switching is definitely possible...
Even more possible if it is from film to digital...
One guy?! Wow - Best change an entire marketting line because of that huh ?
It's not a lesser version of 10D, it's a crippled version
Semantics!
Yes, but when you bought your 300D there WAS NO D70. You made a
choice at a point in time.
Yes, that's why I didn't post the petition before the detailed
specs of D70 is released...
Huh ? Because you couldn't know the future you didn't post something ? What does your comment have to do with my comment ?
You mean by simply destroying an entire product line / revenue
stream. Me , me , me , me.
So, it's all about making money, isn't it? Are you working for
Lemme check... Yup... Canon are a commercial entity, not a charity. So yeah, it's all about making money. What did you think it was all about ? As for working for Canon, no I don't. I used to do some work for them though, so I have a good idea of how things work there.
Canon?? And destroying a product line? Will a simple act of
enabling those function and roll out a 10D replacement that doesn't
rely on crippling its little brother to stay alive kill a 10D
production line??? Well, Nikon certainly hasn't thought of that
when they roll out D70 (which is on par, if not superior, with its
D100)... and that's honesty...
Oh. Now I understand. Silly me. You don't just want Canon to upgrade your camera, you want them to roll out a whole other camera to protect their income! Now I understand.
Um. Diddums! If you're that immature that the mean people making
nasty comments about your camera upsets you, then you need to
re-evaluate your values in life.
How does it feel when someone insulted your 300D and Canon? Well, I
felt pretty bad because it brings me so much joy and fun in
photography. It's not about me, it's about the product that you
come to love so much that it hurts you when people think you have
been ripped off...
I'd feel pretty embarrased for the no-brained idiot who feels the need to attack my equipment. I worry that his priorities in life are a little out.
You have come to love a product ? You idolise a thing ? Me, I'm buying a camera to take pictures. I'll stick to loving my family.
I really don't give a damn what other people think about my toys. As long as they do what I want them to, I'm happy. If you need external validation so badly that you let people make you feel bad by attacking your purchase decisions in life, you have a lot of growing up to do. Good luck to you.
For your info, I am doing medicine final year...
And please, no more personal attacks such as calling people
immature...
Sorry, but I call them like I see them. You are a spoilt rich kid who feels bad because other people make fun of his material purchases. You've obviously had too easy a life if you let things like this make you feel bad, and you need to address your priorities. This sounds like a definition of immature to me.
