Sick and tired of rumours

[kenraw]

I don't know about everyone else but I'm becoming incredibly bored with all the different rumours that never come to anything. They must be just made up. It's about time we had some hard facts. Come on Canon I can't wait much longer to upgrade my mediocre 7D. Just a full frame camera that is as good as the D700 would do me fine, otherwise I could be joining those who have jumped ship.

You must admit, this may be the wrong forum to announce that you're sick of rumours... ???

 

[Tarrum]

There is the door sir.

Honestly, jump to Nikon. There are also guys at Nikon complaining about their system. Same with Sony. Pentax. Everyone. You think any of us care if people switch? No...

Why did you buy the 7D if it's not good enough now?

oh, if you're tired of your 7D, I'll take it. or was that just a rumor?

 

[Leopard Lupus]

As said above me, wrong place to be writing this. This is Canon Rumors. Canon Facts would be their online store.

Ah, so Canon should release a FF camera as good as the D700 - 12 MP and no video? They did that in 2005, it was called the 5D, and you can pick one up for around a thousand dollars.

The 7D is mediocre? Why? Frame rate too slow? Bad AF? Sensor too small? Stop reading rumors and just go buy a 1DIV, then. Or jump ship to Nikon, then go whine on nikonrumors instead.

 

[photophreek]

As a matter of fact, I'm sick and tired of reading posts from whiners like you about your 7d and how terrible it is and how it can't focus on a flying nats butt.

You've now said it, now sell your mediocre 7d and buy....whatever. You certainly won't have any problem getting rid of your "dog" of a 7d. Hell, I'd take the slug off your hands and then maybe we'd see less posts like yours....wha, wha, wha.

What can I say, but " cry me an Onion"

If you want shot of it, I'll swap your mediocre 7D for my top-of-the-line, super-duper, all bells and whistles 400D!

Fancy swapping for an old fashioned FF camera - Praktika LTL

CR4 Rumor: Ken Rockwell dumps Canon! Moves to Nikon!

CR4 fact: Ken Rockwell dumps Canon! Moves to Nikon!

You can't hide your identity: KenRaw = Ken Rockwell. Submitted as CR4 'cos you don't like it when they're just rumours

On a serious note, it'd be pretty quiet if only the reliable rumours were posted. CR1's with Craig Blair's take at least provide some entertainment, and serve as an opportunity to get an informed opinion on the speculation.

Wow can I just say a massive thank you to all your positive and helpful comments. I was concerned that the usual nerds and forum bullies would be all over this post, but it seems I have only attracted the pro's at the top of their game who have taken time out from busy schedules. I can only express my gratitude for all your professionalism with regard to this post. I have to give a special mention to "neuroanatomist" your knowledge is truly unsurpassed and one can only dream of aquiring just a fraction of it.
It is often said that the world we live in is a disgrace as people now have zero respect for each other. I can honestly say my faith has been restored after your kind words and believe that there is a better future ahead. You should all be so proud and give yourselves a massive pat on the back.
Keep it up.
Ken

You have to appreciate that you can the man out of the pack, but you can't get the pack out of the man.

Your mistake was threatening to go to Nikon, once you said that, it channels all the emotions on this thread into what you have witnessed. Without that last bit, you might have gotten balanced responses but still some that would have been the way they are... Second mistake was bashing the 7D which is loved by a lot of people and still respected by a greater number still. Each and everyone of us probably has a friend that owns one... you just said that their friends have medicore tastes...

Just saying... havent we all posted something like this at least once in our lives and learnt a whole lot from it?

A decent repsonse thank you K amps.
Dont get me wrong I love canon but I'm not threatening to go to Nikon because I will if I find that they have a camera that suits me better for my job. Nikon make outstanding cameras too. I prefer the canon ergonomics and design but feel the 7D is over hyped by canon. Don't get me wrong I love the camera and maybe classing it as mediocre was a bit strong, but I find the autofocus under delivers and the files require a lot of processing to get the best out of them. I too used to be a Nikon hater until I had to borrow one for a wedding as my second 7D was sent away for calibration. I was stunned at how clean and sharp the images were and required far less processing to create my style. Obviously its unfair to compare a full frame to a aps. But my whole point was that I'm just bored of waiting for a new camera and lets be honest this forum is littered with people wanting a 5dmk3 etc. I would be more than happy with a new canon that equals the D700/D3s I dont care about it being better, I just want the right tool for the job. After all thats all cameras are unless you just have one as a hobby, then the 7D is great. I dont want to have to change all my lenses etc so hopefully we will hear about a new camera soon.

You mean, you posted something that you had no idea sounded suspisciously like a flame, and now are sardonically dismayed that that's the exact sort of response it generated? Jinkies, we're all sooooo sorry to have hurt your sensitive feelings.

Sorry, but honestly, what sort of response were you expecting when you post on a site called Canon Rumors that you're 'bored with all the different rumors that never come to anything.' Unless someone is forcing you to read these rumors, the whole subject is pretty inane and disingenuous. If you're bored, simply stop reading. This place is for entertainment only - if you want Canon Facts, watch for press releases direct from Canon.

Would we all like to see new products from Canon? Yes. Can we do anything besides speculate and whine (something I'm as guilty of as the next person...I want a 1DsIV, darn it!)? Not really, no. So, either join in the speculation and whining, or delete your bookmark to CR and move on.

To tell the truth, the 1001 th instance of someone threatening to switch to Nikon or vice versa is a bit of a old and boring topic, and no one here really cares.

We are all frustrated by the lack of substantial rumors, but most have learned to look at it as entertainment, and discuss the possibilities of new features and the impact it would have on their photography.

As soon as a person starts taking the rumors seriously, selling their exuipment to be ready for a rumored new product, they will likely discover that it is not happening!

Treat it as entertainment, and if watching the reruns becomes boring, give it a break for a while.

I rather enjoy reading posts from those members who take the time to share their research and knowledge of the ins and outs of cutting edge photography, and tend to take all rumors with a grain of salt. Many times, I find my self disagreeing with them, but It causes me to do the research myself, and often learn in the process. i enjoy learning and gaining new knowledge.

It always amazes me, speaking of the evolving traits of humanity, that all we have to do to make things better is to say...."well, I didn't mean to say that " or "I didn't think that I would generate such controversy". Nonesense, you knew exactly what you were doing and posted accordingly. Sounds like the photo business is a little slow lately and you needed to flame it up a bit and post on a Canon specific site about whatever.

Really, your camera is certainly your tool as a professional. But I contend that the camera is merely an appendage of the lens you need to do that job. You shoot with Canon cameras because Canon has the lenses you need and Nikon does, but not exactly as good as Canon. Not happy with the lenses you would like to use to attach to the better camera (your words, not mine), then why not post a flame post at Nikon Rumors about the mediocre Nikon lenses.

BTW, I guess I've been really lucky with my 7d, because I am continually amazed at how easy I can focus where I want with the 7d focusing system and produce very sharp images that, in my opinion, don't require excess amounts of post time.

One more thing, please don't lump all us passionate photographers in with the "great unwashed" as your comments are a little condesending. Oh, sorry...you didn't mean to say that, my mistake.
