Canon can, will and continue to screw us.

Awww, you poor thing.

Not complaining.  Just stating the truth.  I enjoy being screwed by big companies.  Don't you?

How exactly is Canon screwing you over?

By over pricing their products.  I am aware that I am being charged too much. But I don't care.  I will continue to buy Canon.

As a Canon user you must know you are paying quite a bit for their product.  You may not care, but it is true.

The Crane is beautiful Ren... Wish we had some of those down here in Florida!

There are quite a few at the Animal Kingdom park at Disney World and the Animal Kingdom Lodge savannas.  They are beautiful.

Thanks.  I prefer to photograph wildlife in their natural environment.  Sometimes that's not possible so the zoo or any other place works fine for me.

And i'll be pissed when the 6D drops to $1600 by summer.  Oh well.  That's why I don't bother looking at the price again of a product once I purchase it.  Too depressing.

Then why not buy it only by summer?  You've still got the very good Ti1. 

I am one of those people who has to be one of the first to buy a new product.  My rebel still works well.  I just wanted to upgrade and introduce myself to the world of full frame.  No regrets.  I could never have waited until summer.  Just a sickness I have.

I was going to say the same.  Pull out he battery.  Maybe if you leave it out over night?  Or maybe reset the camera?

Lenses / Re: Patent: Supertelephoto DO Lenses With Macro Features

The words Canon Supertelephoto DO lenses in the same sentence does not equal cheap.  Throw in Macro feature and you have a recipe for high prices.  Definitely over $7000.

Why can't Canon make an affordable supertelephoto lens?  I am sure they could get more people buying their products if they did this.  It's fine to make the expensive one for people with deep pockets and for those who demand the best. But what about the rest of us?

I am the type of person who knows I am being ripped off when I buy a product on it's launch date.  I hate myself for paying the premium price but I do it anyways.  Some how that goes away once I am home, opening the box and holding the product in my hand.  I feel so excited and happy I don't care I was ripped off anymore.

I am sure there are many like me out there and Canon knows it.  So yes Canon will continue to screw people like me.  Ahhh, so this is what it feels like to be on the receiving end.

Canon, like most companies markup their prices for those who must have the latest gadget first.  After those people are ripped off the prices slowly start to come down and are aimed at the consumers waiting for a deal.

Cool image... He seems to be very intense... Too bad so dark out at that time or heavy shade, sunlight would have lit up his coloring really nice.  I do like his interesting pose!  Nice image Renegade!

Thanks.  I also liked the pose.  Unfortunately it was dark
