We want more, MOAR!!!

Build us a camera that has more of this and less of that, and much more of this, and could do this with only a little bit of that, and doesn’t need that in order to do this. And it must cost less than this and definitely less than that… And another thing: we want it now, we want it yesterday and we will want more tomorrow, and all the demands will have changed by then so stay awake!

This = DR, MP
That = FPN

This = Nikon
That = ??

Canon: All lines in this route are busy ... please try calling after 6 months (we may replay the same message of course)

You spelled Moire wrong.

Just sayin

Great idea. And can you guarantee that Canon will hit its top and bottom line targets with your advise.

Easy to ask for everything and expect lower prices.

If you are a professional photographers how would react to a client who asked for MOAR for less? If you are a wage slave, how about your boss tell you that you do MOAR and take a 10% pay cut?

:o

And a ham sandwich with every new camera, dammit!!!

Only if it has a nice slice of real cheese and a generous slice of a juicy red tomato as well. And let's just hope they do not forget a thin spread of Salad Cream. Heinz of course. Otherwise all deals are off and I may just switch to, erm, Polaroid. :D 8)
No tomato on the sandwich, both the cheese and bread will get soggy. Get yourself together here :D

Says the man living in the city with the best French bread in South East Asia. ;) Making an ham and cheese sandwich without a nice slice of juicy tomato is just wrong. It would be like spreading some mayonnaise on it instead of using Heinz's Salad Cream, and since when did cheese get soggy?! ;D :o

:D The amazing French bread you have in PP, is one of the main benefits of living there I think. I know when I travel there I eat enormous amounts of the stuff!! Good cheeses, pates and wines are also reasonably priced.

Canon already gave us a camera with "more of this and less of that" ... it was named "EOS 700D/T5i" ;D

Yes, one of the few good things the French left behind is parts of their food and wine culture. There's plenty of French people around here and they still have a huge embassy here so I guess it's natural. Now I got hungry :P
