You are really off here man. I think you are inaccurately accusing me of being upset or something.
First I never used the word "crippled". You got that somewhere else.
Second I sure do think it's possible that Nikon would have made the D70 without the Rebel. How do you know that Nikon didn't come up with the budget DSLR idea first and Canon was just the first to produce it? Like you said yourself, they just copied the 10D so it wouldn't take long to put out the Rebel, but only god, Canon, and Nikon know the answer to that question. I don't know for absolute certainty. Do you?
Third I'm not mad or upset. How do you define my emotion with what I wrote? Like I said I love my Rebel and think it's the best digitial I've owned. I'm just making an observation regarding the lack of features that Canon purposely left out. Obviously there's some validity to it as several have posted about this as well. Phil even said it himself, "Almost laughably the majority of the EOS 300D's limitations are 'programmed in', that is they are simply software features which have been disabled." I'm not asking for "freebies", like you make it sound like I'm begging for a free lens or something. hee hee. I'm just saying what they "could" have done is make the 300D better than the 10D by enabling all the features and it would now be more competition to the D70. That's all. I'm not upset, just offering an alternate possibility.
If I were mad or upset I'd type in CAPS or put a lot of these silly things !!!!!! in my post. It's ok Michael, we're just talking here.
