EOS Bodies / Re: 5D Mark III Brief Specs? [CR1]
« on: January 27, 2012, 04:02:31 PM »It's well-understood (or at least widely reported) that P&S sales account for vastly more sales and profits than DSLR's, even with much lower profit margin
I love how people state assumptions as facts. I have this old cheat sheet of phrase translations for scientific writing; a couple of those phrases apply here:
Blah, blah, blah. There you go with your fancy facts and logic again. This is the INTERNET, man, get with it! You're supposed to win an argument by talking over the other fellow- completely ignoring his more salient points while demanding that he respond to each and every one of yours. Then you escalate. With each round- raise your voice, use CAPS and lots of exclamation points until you're shouting him down and questioning his intellect/parentage/genetic fitness. From there you transition into obscure and absurd threats. Tell him that you've traced his IP and that you intend to track him down and kick his scrawny ass!!
Geez, do I really have to spell EVERYTHING out to you?!!!

More smites for this?! C'mon guys- sinister is latin for left-handed, maladroit is a commonly-borrowed french term for the same attribute. Sheesh, have a sense of humour...

This is all I've posted this week and I've collected 3 more minuses... It's the Heinz Doofenshmirtz avatar, isn't it? Three more smites and I'll have to think about switching over to a more positive image...

Awesome! But you forgot:
Question 11: Why does every $100 cellphone, kids game and even television set have BUILT-IN Wifi, GPS, can-opener and shoe-polisher, yet a $7000 camera has only limited, expensive, clunky, one-at-a-time add-ons?
Answer 11: You are obviously not a serious photographer.
Answer 11a: You are obviously an Apple fanbois.
Answer 11b: How dare you question Canon? 27 Smites for you!

LOL.... +1 for the Karma Chameleon
Yeah, I gave him a +1 for that too but received +1/-2. From this valuable Karmic feedback I deduce that most CR posters are also Culture Club fans and that I must never, ever speak ill of Boy George on these pages.

EOS Bodies / Re: Do you REALLY need a new camera?
« on: January 05, 2012, 11:09:49 AM »
You can build a house with a hammer and handsaw. Do you really NEED the latest Bosch or Dewalt pro-tools? The whole boating industry is built on convincing owners that all of their problems would be solved if they had a hull just TWO feet longer. The ski industry promises that you'll turn easier, go faster and have more fun if you buy the latest Head or Rossi equipment... Don't rain on everyone's parade by talking about "need".
BTW, completely off-topic but is "There is no spoon" a Klosterman quote?
