Just looking at this forum, specifically the thread saying that the
300D is crippled, I'm amazed that a lot of folks visiting this site
are already questioning Canon's engineering and marketing. The
company's been at the forefront of consumer-level digital cameras
and months ago boggles the industry with the first sub-1000 dSLR,
the Digital Rebel.
And now, less than a year later, DPReview message board junkies are
trashing it's marketing and engineering!
Quite an amazing feat considering that those guys are spending
millions in research to devise a way of getting everyone's
attention with a new product release.
Don't you even get it? The fact that you're very aware of it's
weaknesses mean that it's not designed for you. Consumers who can
spend $999 for a dSLR cameras and not have tons of time in their
hand to read all the messages on this board are the ones buying it
and telling their friends about it.
Canon is not concerned about the bunch of wannabees who thought
that after spending countless hours on this board, they can
actually criticize their engineers and marketing gurus.
So enough of the trashing and stick to what you know. You guys are
simply using the technology theiy're inventing.
