I have to laugh because I thought I had made my points clear. And yet, it seems as if you completely missed the point. Not just missed the point, but misinterpreted the points. I will try to make it clearer.
Many folks reply to criticism of Canon - not because they feel the need to defend everything about Canon, but because folks present opinion as fact, or totally exaggerate their criticisms. We may even agree with some of the criticisms, but react to those unfair and exaggerated claims. Such as, "The industry and real world folks that shoot with canon have all thought that canon was slipping..."
Should we ignore something that is an obvious exaggeration? "All"? All Canon shooters think Canon was slipping? Even a quick reading of forum comments clearly give you the evidence that some Canon shooters are happy with their cameras and don't agree that Canon is slipping. So, if I reply to that, does that make me a fanboy? Or does it make me level-headed when I point out that it is more accurate for someone to say, "I, and some photographers I know think Canon was slipping."
You also misrepresent what I say with your comment that I, "love everything canon has made and think it’s flawless." Nowhere did I say anything even remotely like this. Here is what I actually wrote, "So, apparently, the areas that Canon specs are not equal to other brands over-rides areas that they do as well or better. Maybe, just maybe, some of those Canon trolls you mention are merely pointing out instances where the complainers are unable to articulate their thoughts in a realistic way - confusing fact with opinion. Or ignoring all aspects of a camera and just singling out the areas that they think should be improved."
Not only do I not say that Canon cameras are flawless, but I clearly mention "areas that Canon specs are not equal to other brands..." Nowhere do I say that I love everything Canon has made. I guess I should just let that go. Don't want to make it seem like replying and trying to set the record straight makes me a fanboy.
