Good question indeed, and certainly a valid personal philosophy. I suppose for me it's because the pictures I take are 60% of my enjoyment of my photography hobby, while the experience of operating the camera and appreciating it as a mechanism accounts for the other 40%. There's really no photographic reason why we need to like cameras--I actually know some very accomplished and renowned photographers who claim to hate everything about cameras--but still, it's something I personally value. --Mike "Ain't photography grand.
