Godfrey, you might get into fewer arguments if you phrased things more like:

Now where would be the fun in that? If fewer arguments was a goal,
there wouldn't be anyone here.
I think our goal should be to trade quantity for quality.
By the way, do you still have a link to that post you made after photographing
an indoors event, where you commented that your then current camera was right
on the edge of its performance envelope?
Frankly, with the K-5, I finally have a camera that meets the minimum
performance that I need in terms of high ISO and low light noise, but I still
find myself missing shots because it isn't clean enough at a high enough ISO.
Larry, what you need to do is get a hold of Kubrick's modified Zeiss
f/0.7 50mm glass ...

And I'd like to borrow it after you.
