Great Canon features that will kick their ASSets

The PRINT BUTTON?

It's the best feature of Canon DSLRs that non of the competition have come even close.

And that is precisely why Canon continues to feature this godly button on its bodies.

I wish my Kodak disposable had a print button.
Are you satisfied with the results you get from
your (LOL) antiquated 5D equipment? If so, why would
"upgrading" to NIKON , SONY or PENTAX be of
any benefit? Just because something is old
does not mean it is not still good. I am old
and I am not as good as I once was, but, I'm
as good once as I ever was. The only thing
wrong with the 5D is it does not have rear view
mirrors and air conditioning.

When Canon announces the replacement for the 5d
all current 5D owners will begin to salivate and upgrade
to the latest model. In a few months the new owners
will start whining when Nikon or one of the others,
announces a new Coal fired model. The same thing
happens in the computer world. The laptop I am using
is less than one year old and it is outdated by at least
two newer versions from Toshiba. It still works fine
and meets all my needs and expectations, your 5D does
the same just like my 40D.
90% of photography is having a subject 10% knowing your equipment and 05% doing it.
A newer model with more bells and whistles will not take better pictures, it will just take
pictures better.

I like this attitude, I just wish that I could convince my consumer brain of it when I begin to salivate over the newest equipment!

I cannot understand anyone changing brand on the strength of a single itteration upgrade - how any of the minor changes can be deemed so essential as to warrant ditching a whole system is beyond me

I am tired of walking around with my 5D being mocked by the hoards of Nikon toting photographers, the legions of Olympus users and the packs of Pentax shooters.

Never hand anyone laughing at my cam with my tiny prime attached. Though I did have a couple of friends curse when seeing the clean, razor sharp results. Are you sure it's the camera, maybe they just sense insecurity from miles away ?
Problem is cameras are confused with computers or purchased by ex computer geeks turned photographers that pass the same mentality to the new hobby. While my previous 4yo PC won't run Vista, my almost 4yo 20D still runs both "vision 2.0" and "A4 print 1.1" just fine. In the end it's just a light-tight box with a sensor.
Lighten up

I want to know your ideas for KILLER Canon features. Features Nikon do not have that will make those turn coats sell their Nikon gear and come back to the soft mother’s hug of Canon love. I want people to say I really wanted to get a Nikon because there is so many used Nikon lenses on the market for such low prices but I just can’t pass up on all of these great Canon features. I want POTN’s store to be sold out of merchandise because of all the new members buy up everything as fast as they can.

I just want to take great photos - I couldn't give a flying fundamental what other people think.

I really don't see what this thread is about. I can't imagine, for one minute, owners of other cameras mocking your own (and certainly not the media). The only people remotely likely to do so are immature gear snobs - and their opinion doesn't really matter, does it. Why not just take photos with the camera you're happy with and stop worrying about what other people think (they probably don't think anything at all, and are not particularly interested in your camera).

This thread seems to be about the OP feelings of insecurity about what other people think of his camera gear.

Why don't you just get your 5d gold plated or put a spoiler on it and move on then....???

Must be, it is interesting none the less for me to see what people pick up on though. People do see what concerns them the most and just run with that. Folks really you must all realize that most everyone are not hardly concerned with what anyone else is up to as long as they don't try to hit them up for spare change. What camera/phone/shoe/unde​rwear you use really does not matter to anyone (even if it is an iPhone )


I am reading a different internet though it seems. See post 10 already.

Love that duck comic though.
