发帖数: 5258 | 1 What Your Choice of Camera Says About You
Just as the clothes you choose to wear, the food you like to eat, and the
people you associate with say something about you, so does the camera system
you buy into. The following observations are based on close association
with the various groups of camera owners and from having belonged to each
group at one time or another. Those who belong to the “lacking any sense of
humor” or “offended at the drop of a hat” groups are strongly advised to
read no further.
Canon owners
You appreciate the benefits of owning a camera system that leads in cutting-
edge digital imaging technology and that offers a wealth of body, lens, and
accessory options for every level of photographer, from lowly consumer to
top professional. You will switch to Nikon.

Sony owners
You believe that Sony’s innovations in consumer electronics and video
technology, its leadership in digital imaging chip production, its in-body
image stabilization, and its use of Zeiss optics results in a unique design
synergy and products of exceptional value—because that’s what it says in
the product literature. You also believe in astrology, UFOs and the Easter
Bunny.
Pentax owners
You’re the sort of person who would buy a $1500 DSLR body so your stash of
thread-mount, K-mount and M-mount lenses from decades ago (collectively
worth $75.00 at a flea market or yard sale) won’t go to waste; either that,
or you’ve never heard of a Spotmatic, Pentax LX or Takumar, you just think
you look cool sporting a day-glo red camera that takes real pictures. You
think people are laughing with you, not at you.
Olympus owners
You’re the sort of person who buys North Korean beer, Peruvian underwear,
and French computers, not because you actually like them but because no one
else does. When people question your choice of camera system you respond
that Olympus images have a certain “soul” and that photographs are what
matter, not the camera. You have no friends.
Leica owners
You know that no other camera other than a Hasselblad gains as much instant
respect among the cognoscenti as a Leica. Although this relieves the
pressure of demonstrating actual photographic prowess, it increases the need
to be familiar with the subtle differences in visual signature between an
Elmar, Elmarit, Summitar, Summicron, and Summilux. You are either stinking
rich, living in your mother’s basement, or one lens purchase away from a
divorce.
Panasonic, Fuji, Samsung, Minolta, Yashica owners and et cetera should be
relieved rather than offended that they were not included. Comments are
welcome as long as they are civil. Extra points will be given for self-
deprecation. | d****n
