Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / April 2006Canon, Canon, Canon; Probs with 30D!
http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1019&thread=17936912 Why to do you care Rich, since you don't own a dSLR of any kind? Don't know about the 30D but my 5D is a great camera and performs wonderfully. I suspect most of the people who have problems with Cameras and Lenses just don't know how to use much more than a throwaway camera anyway or just like to whine for the sake of whining rather than mastering the art of photography.

If there is one thing that Pentax owners know how to do, it's use their equipment. Small, but perfectly formed.........as the saying goes Actually, camera ownership does rather mirror life; we have Canon owners - well, they're the giggling slappers putting themselves about on a Friday night, anyone's for a few extra buttons and a pretty box. Nikon owners are a good deal more thuggish - shaven headed oiks with 'NIKON' tattooed across their knuckles whom decent people cross the road to avoid. The Bronica and Leica crowd are timid aesthetes with delicate sensibilities and even more delicate lenses, who rarely venture out amongst the seething masses, lest they contract a dreaded working class disease and die within a week. Pentax owners, on the other hand, are the honest backbone of camera owners - neither pretentious, nor flighty, nor unpleasantly aggressive, their solid no-nonsense respectability and tireless dedication to their craft is the rock upon which photography is built. 8< > Pentax owners, on the other hand, And soon to become extinct.

That was probably the most unfair, least thought out and most incorrect off topic post I've seen here, in a while. I can't even begin to enumerate the inaccuracies, they are so numerous, an astounding feat for such a short post. Let me just say that any society that produces a Mark Twain and a Will Rogers cannot be said to be unable to laugh at itself.

No...I think the thread pointed out they weren't all cranks and that there are problems. Read it again, with the attachments. -Rich >>Why to do you care Rich, since you don't own a dSLR of any kind? > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > there are problems. Read it again, with the attachments. > -Rich You mean the part where the OP said, "I did. I reread it. I'm bad with comprehension. I get it now. I think once you use the multi-controller, it stays on that focus point, so yes, it was not random. This is one of those times where technology gets in the way (for me). Now that I know, I know to press the [+] right-thumb button after doing a selective AF point with the multi-controller. I wish the viewfinder display wouldn't sleep so fast though." That looks like inexperience to me, doesn't it to you? Non of the replies to that thread indicate any problems with the camera other than a lack of knowledge on the part of the operator. And I read every one up to 2 hours ago. Rich, you are getting as bad as Preddy...if not worse.

A happy "error 99" to you! :) I bet you sit there, deliriously happy and secure in the knowledge that you can't possibly ever encounter any problems whatsoever with a digital camera - because you simply don't own one. I'll bet you squeak in damply orgasmic delight whenever you spot any negative comments about cameras because you can then say "Banding? Back focus? Plastic? Error 99? Yay, those'll never happen to me!" >>>What "shortcoming" did you point out, Rickie? >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >because you can then say "Banding? Back focus? Plastic? Error 99? Yay, >those'll never happen to me!" You forgot susceptability to moisture. I'd leave plastic out because it doesn't actually prevent use of the camera, at least until those plastic-backed Sony CCDs started failing. But you are right, it won't happen to me even though I do own a camera. -Rich >>>I love Canon fanatics.
