I have to say that's probably the weirdest looking lens hood (assuming that's what it is) I've ever seen! How much glare would it actually keep out? Not even sure what to say about the strap, which seems to have been cut from an old curtain cord ...
I guess viewed against the collar on his coat, it does sort-of look good. I must be too poor to appreciate it
While I agree, I consider that the “mom’s basement” statement adds nothing to Neuro’s fundamental point, just detracts from it with a needless insult to ryanbird. This repeated type of “final jab” undermines the normal civil discourse on these forums and becomes bullying.
Well, when the original poster distinguishes themselves by saying "Any of you also think the design of canon camera is terrible? like fuji or sony, their camera is in a much cooler shape while canon is still old fashion alike camera, whole feel is so bulky and stupid." - I'm not sure that they can reasonably expect to avoid some level of sarcasm in replies.
Maybe I should have just gone with the standard old chestnut.
Not sure about that: maybe even identifying someone as a 'troll' is an unacceptable insult in some of the more sensitive eyes around here. Lord knows how those eyes react to 'discussion' on other forums around the internet.
I definitely feel Canon’s shape serves toward better function and hand comfort, which therefore is not stupid. I do not feel that the quote is insulting since it just starts as a question of what forum members think. I also do not find Fuji or Sony’s shape attractive.
I don't disagree in principle - but I repeat: people who make that sort of post (ie in this case making generic and deliberately provocative statements about Canon) are often aiming to generate similarly toned responses, and can hardly clammer to higher moral ground when it occurs. My main criticism is that for responders to obviously 'be provoked' in their responses is giving the troll/poster exactly what they want. I therefore prefer varying gradations of sarcasm in replies, and that's what I'll continue to do in similar situations. I'd much more prefer for those situtions not to keep occuring, but I suspect they will ...
Maybe I’m in the minority, but I’m rarely moved to respond to provocative statements about a camera or company. Insults (veiled or not) to people however are more infuriating. Over the past several months, when reading an opinion that I agree with, I’ve become more aggravated upon reading the “final jab”.
And I'm sure you're not alone in that opinion (minority or not), which you're absolutely entitled to.
Unfortunately I also seem to be in the minority by having visual difficulties using EVFs. While I’d love to get the benefits of the R series, I guess I’ll be sticking with the 5DMKIV for a while.
That's a shame - I had understood that the more recent versions are much improved over the early models, although I think the R8 is a bit more basic than that. My experience with the EOS R was actually very +ve. The image is not as seamless as through a DSLR pentaprism, but the WYSIWYG aspect, and things like a histogram overlay have more than made up for that. I couldn't really go back now.
I can imagine features that sound nice right now could easily turn invaluable. I used to be happy with full frame and a depth of field preview, but as camera feature lists grow, so do my “needs”. I look forward to trying demos of the various R series when I get some time off that coincides with the “local” camera shop’s hours.
