Default What it's all come down to...

Been a photographer since before the Nikon F Photomic T was the hottest
thing to hang around your neck (and I did). Been through a Rollei 6x6 2.8E
Planar, a few Contaflexes, a Leica RF, some Minoltas (SRT-101), a Miranda,
Olympus, and a few Canons, etc. plus I did the permanent darkroom thing--
Durst, Schneider Componon lenses, etc. Even won a couple of amateur awards
for my stuff way back when I liven in New York.

But I gotta tell ya, I got a couple of Canon point and shoots now that meet
98% or my photo needs. Truly amazing equipment...

My first P&S made me realise film was a waste.

Never mind Rita, this is a very sick person.

Rita, paid shill for Nikon, probably because they could only fool an idiot
to actually shill for them.

I'm pretty sure if Nikon did pay anyone to puff their products they'd
pay a photographer. In fact, looking at the random edition of Nikon Pro
magazine beside me, they do.

Someone else with the anal-insertion fetish.

Has anyone heard from the hemi-powered one lately? At least he was
funny.

While they're obviously not the top dogs of the digital camera pack, it
*is* truly astounding what some of them can do, innit? Let's hear it for
the wonderful *range* of gear that's available today, which makes it
possible for just about everybody to find and enjoy hardware that suits
his or her needs, regardless of where on the spectrum they fall.
