Some people are funny!!! hahaha

I was shooting a model last weekend and her manager sees my camera and lens sitting on the table across the room. While I was talking to the girl he gets up from where we were all sitting and walks over to the camera. When he got up and started heading towards my camera I got nervous and ended the conversation I was having with the model. Then he stops and looks at the camera but doesn't touch it.... Then he noticed we were both watching him and he says:

manager: "Oh you're shooting with a 5d"
me: "yep"
manager: "that's cool, how do you like it?"
me: "dunno, it gets the job done"
manager: "oh yeah? Well I have a 30D!"
me: "yeah that's a great camera"
manager: "yeah It costed me almost $2,000"
me: "wow that's alot of money!"
manager: "yeah, it's a professional camera, it has a built on flash too. I see you don't have one, how much did this 5d cost"
me: "oh I donno, it was a couple dollars"
manager: "couple dollars? what like $1000?"
me: "yeah something like that."



people are weird

He must have bought his on e bay.

Stupid 5D...no flash.

he probably would have laughed in my face if I had a 1d

Waiter: "That's a nice camera."
Me: "Thanks."
Waiter: "You're not using a flash. It doesn't have a flash on it?"
Me: "There is enough light here for the picture to turn out."
Waiter: "Wow, that camera must be very expensive."
Me: "Yes, it is."
Waiter: "How much did you pay for it?"
Me: "I shoot pro."
Waiter: "No flash, though, huh?"

Went back to my food.

You could have really screwed with him, had you brought a D30.

Yeah I wouldnt want any camera that didnt have a built in flash and didnt fit into my wallet

Taking a pic in public the other day

Idiot "You dont have to hold it up to your face"
Me "Its an SLR"
Idiot " well that LCD on the back aint there to look pretty, use that"
Me "Nah its got wireless internet, thats what the screens for"
Idiot "Oh they should make the screen bigger then"

Yeah, I was looking at P&S's the other day at Costco and 1/2 of them don't have viewfinders, but have big LCD's. What's that?

Should have said it uses Compact Flash !

Funny...but hey, it's all in fun right?

I would sound like a complete idiot about something I knew nothing about as well! (Car engine comes to mind...)

I think did the same thing when I did not know a thing about dSLR.
I asked, you cannot see the preview from the LCD? no video feature? what digital camera is this?

I actually chuckled from my screen reading that. Thanks!
