What originally brought you to canon rumors?

im just waiting on the next FF SLR. I check this daily for that updates. How well the rumors pan out when it finally comes out will determine if i continue viewing this website

I started frequenting this site back when I was looking to upgrade from my 30D and couldn't decide whether to get a 50D, 7D, used 5D mark I, or bite the bullet and get the 5D Mark II (the end result was the latter). back then the comments were unregulated, and while they could be very snarky and fun they also occasionally got really inappropriate and offensive; I'm glad CR upgraded to the current forum system.
CR guy does an excellent job of cutting out most of the nonsense rumors, and isn't overly gushy/dramatic in his presentation, which I like very much.
there are some great regulars on the forum who have incredible technical knowledge and I love poking in on threads and learning something new about technical aspects of lens design, the electronic workings of cameras, or the manufacturing process.
despite the fact that I'm on here at least as much as anyone else, I've actually never held out on a purchase because of a rumor. and it's never come back to haunt me. didn't wait for the 24-70, didn't wait for a 5D Mark III, didn't wait for a 50 f/1.4 II. not to knock CR guy, but rumors are rumors, and real equipment needs are real equipment needs (and, honestly, I think CR guy would agree with that).
love the site, keep up the great work Craig!

I started looking at CR when i started looking for a possible replacement for my 20D and stayed with it because of the fun and the new bits of information you can find here. And because there's always something new to learn from others or to share experiences. Keep it up, CRguy!

see neuroanatomist. I had a T1i, looking to the 5DIII as my first FF camera. also looking for some info on L lenses. with info from here following the disaster in Japan, I went ahead and got the 5DII while the price was stable and the camera available, not to mention Canon's lens rebate still in effect.

Kudos to Macadameane, great thread !
I started with a 500D as an 'experiment' for astrophotography, but the camera rarely stays on the telescope and got attracted by the art of photography. I take the camera with me nearly all the time and everywhere possible. Sports photography is starting to be my major passion, and decided to get a 70-200 2.8 to start out.
That's when I started to look into this site for the 'possibility' of version 2 of this lens. With the help of this site, I waited for 6 months, and got the lens I like so much.
Since I am a sucker to electronic toys, I like to spend my money wisely and therefore had to learn the technical aspect of the subject. I also like to understand what I am using to use it to it's limit. That's why I appreciate what the simple 500D and kit lens can do for the price. This site helped me alot for all this and read it everyday. I also read but do not contribute to other camera rumors sites but this one is just the best due to the posters , admins, and CR guy !
Now I am reading everything regarding the new 5DIII since I am craving for one, and curious of what it will deliver. I am also keeping an eye for a 1D FF, but not interested to get one, at least for now.
