do people just like to get all worked up about cameras or what?

[zwright]

all the time i hear people in hear complaining about problem after problem with there cameras.... mostly nikon is better sony did this, make my d-slr a better video camera but dont make me pay for it... make 12 mp sensors like nikion so i get less noise....



i dont understand why all the fuss canon makes excellent cameras and so does nikon and the competion is good but why get so errr child like about it...

i am probly no better then anyone else as far as complaining but i felt like sharing.

(lots of spelling errors dont care)

If you complain loudly on the internet.....it makes you important. Just ask!

i dont understand why all the fuss canon makes excellent cameras and so does nikon and the competion is good but why get so errr child like about it...Because they are hardware, gearhead forums. I mean how boring would it be if post after post you read:
"I love my camera"
"My cameras cool"
"I need nothing new"
What a snooze fest that would be.

Hey zwright, I don't know about you but I really love my camera gear and it's all pretty cool stuff. There really isn't anything else I need either. :D

Sorry gjl711, couldn't help myself ;)

I am very happy with my gear too. I also avoid the gear forums. :)

hahaha boy do i love being mocked

i just find it irratating when people get all frustrated and threaten this and that, just becuse there camera missed focus twice.... or when they get all upset becuse nikon is catching up(to tell you the truth i am stoked about that cause its going to mean better cheaper cameras for me)... etc. etc. i find it strange that there is little talk of how get the most performance out of each body (be it af technique ect.) and more complaining about what you cant do becuse of this this and this and alll that "noise"...

You have a good point. And it happens a lot. For me, I do my research prior to making purchases and I'm fully aware of what the equipment can and can't do. So if I"m unhappy about something I have only myself to blame :o

Sometimes it's fun to read a lens review on B&H, Amazon, etc., and the reviewer gives a specific lens 3 stars out of 5 because the lens didn't have IS. Holy cow! They didn't know that before they bought it?

You have a legitimate point here and I wasn't mocking you in any way! I was just having a lttle fun with gjl711's post ;) And he made a good point too :)

Of course they didnt! How dare you suggest that people should do any research prior to ordering things!!:rolleyes:

Try reading Best Buy's community forums once. Alot of mouth breathers there with problems that can either be solved by reading the manual or having an IQ higher than 10.

Kinda like when I was in pest control. Had some customers who lived in 350K+ homes making 6 figures who couldnt comprehend the idea that you can get a pest problem if you leave food out for them.

Yep! I like the reviews that say their newly purchased lens is great. Takes awesome pictures. Well built and have no concerns with the lens. Then they give it 2 stars because they think its too expensive and the price should be lower. :cool:

I did some research prior to buying a small, compact, lightweight no frills belt pouch for my G11. I found exactly what I was looking for. Many reviewers gave that pouch 1, 2, or 3 stars because it didn't have any outside pockets for storing batteries, SD cards, etc. There were PICTURES! And a perfect description! They still couldn't get it right. Makes you wonder about people. :cry:

^^^ :lol: ^^^ I was invested in a landscaping company a while back. I'd go over to a small mansion following up on a complaint. Some plants had died. I'd have to explain that plants required watering to survive!

You would think that Darwin would have something to say about this.

It sometimes feels that Natural Selection is working in reverse!

Either that or (my own personal theory) there have to be enough idiots to balance out the geniuses. The more intellegent that the brainiest people are, the thicker the dufuses become.

the way i see it in modern mankind evolution favors the idoit becuse of wellfare programs ect. ect. ect.

but a more intelligent person uses birth control and has kids when he/she is ready and doesent have more kids then they can provide a good life for...

the path of least resistance....
