What Canon really thinks about your 10/20/30/40D

hmm, thats odd, Mine just keeps repeating "all work and no play make jack a dull boy"

should I be concerned? My 20D keeps giving me menacing looks...

My 40-D say's:

"Quit reading this crap and go take more pictures!"

I must obey.

My 5D says

MMmmm Sexxxxxxy!!!

Analyzing the EXIF data from my Canon EOS 30D, I've noticed something interesting:

Camera Type: EOS Low-end

Is this what Canon really thinks of their 20/30/40d?

Can you post a pic with EXIF so we can take a look at it. Don't have my40D to hood up to the EOS utility at the moment, but is that something that could be set there? Perhaps someone is playing a trick on you.

Is that about the user?

40D having an identity crisis? ehh?

Yes. Canon told me to screw myself.

afterall, if we put in "EXIF, "EOS Low-End" in google, it actually does return with something...lol

EOS Low-end but high quality

Who really cares as long as it does what you want it to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EXIF data for mine simply says Camera Type; EOS 20D

Mine says "More crap photos - I could do soooo much better"

My 20D just says "More L Please"

My 40D calls me a honkey when I turn it on.

Canon's market segmentation will eventually, but not till they have to, go the way of the dinosaur. What is interesting to me and will of course cause hatred toward the brand is the type of segmentation that they do:

* Disabled AF - even a novice needs AF to work
* Inferior Viewfinder - even a novice enjoys a viewfinder
* Subclass advancements (LCD not VGA, AF-ON not on popular grip, micro lens adjustment missing)
* 30D & 5D will not format a 16GB card.

Charging extra for these things is fine, but Canon does not do that. They have 1D(s) $4,000 & $8,000 3lb huge cameras that are their top tier. Even the 5D has much that separates it from what their best is that you really get the feeling that they are not personable to the mental enjoyment of their user base.

The 40D is the start towards giving some of the already paid for, tested, been there done that in film technology. I really look forward to the 5D replacement has showcasing Canon's new attitude on what constitutes DSLR advancement.
