I have absolutely no problem choosing camera brand Christian. I'm a Fuji man and will be forever.
Seriously. My decision is made. I'll just have to wait a couple of weeks until my account is refilled, and off course until Pentax is able to refill the Norwegian market. I might by from France, I've found a good price there. That I haven't decided yet. I'm not trying to prove that Pentax is best. I'm just provoked because reviewers seem to simply echo the Canon marketing department without thinking. Why am I provoked? Because reviewers are influential, reviewers and the camera pushers in the shops are those who decides what average Joe buys. I want my brand to survive. Perhaps I'm a fanboy?

I didn't start it, some other guy questioned the quoting first. Pentax's sensor-based SR is better. Nikon and Canon are evil and covering up for their inability to produce the in-camera based system by putting it down and telling the public that the lens based system is better. Does that help validate your choice of camera brand? My point is: why do you care what some crappy reviewer has to say? It seems to me that users of any camera brand have this massive inferiority complex and need their purchases validated. My digi-rebel using friend constantly "proves" to me that the noise on his camera is less than mine. He is proving to me all the time that the 17-40 L lens is "better" than the 16-35 L because he owns the 17-40. He also loves to prove that his APS-sensored rebel is "better" than a full-frame 5D, etc, etc. Personally, I use what I got and just try to make pictures. -- Christian http://photography.skofteland.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
