We need to open a "Canon Whiners" section on CR so peopel will stop spamming the forum with the same boring threads. Up until the 5d Mark III came along, you never really saw people complain too much other then the random forum banter, but since the release or close to the release, all I have seen is "It costs too much", "There aren't enough megapixels", "It's broken because of a light leak" and on and on...
It's ridiculous. Enough already. I understand it's a forum and people have the right to express their displeasure or beef with a product. But writing another "this isn't an acceptle solution to the light leak" or some of the other issues. IT is an electronic device. It will have issues, in some cases. Other then the odd case, I have not seen anyone show any evidence of a photograph ruined by a light leak. If it is runing your photos, then return it, just like you would any piece of electronics.
It even relfects negatively on the community. "Canon users are a bunch of whining babies" is what a friend of mine had to say when looking through the CR forum the other day. Yes, he was a Nikon user
BUT, I really had no defence, as he was correct about a lot of people on this forum. Posting the same complaints again and again. I really get the feeling that a lot of people were holding out for the MKIII because it would make them a better photographer just by pressing the button. People are focusing more on the shortcomings or what it can't do, then going out and taking great photos. If you owned a MKII, it is a better camera. If you could take great pics with your 50D, it will take better pictures although there may be a learning curve.
I understand this is sort of hypocritical complaining about the complainers but I am hoping that maybe some people will realise how foolish and useless this is. If you really have a beef with it, or you think it's terrible, do what one user was smart enough to do and write to Canon. As posting it in a forum, will get you nowhere... I'm sure a lot of you think this is a ridiculous post. I'm also pretty sure, you are the ones continulously posting or commenying on the same posts bashing Canon. Get out there and use your camera and post some great pics...
