    Canon shooters are secure enough to not need to hype it up with numbers and a grand wizard

    I know you used to shoot Nikon before you went to the DARK SIDE. I guess we could make you a Nikon Ninja, since you are a Nikon owner, but don't shoot Nikon anymore. And for the record, you should give Rick your Nikon gear! What you don't give me that is.

    For the record, I don't care what you shoot. It's the photographer that matters, not his gear. I prefer Nikon because they fit me, the ergonomics are perfect for me, and the controls make sense to me. I'll be the first to tell someone to find the camera that fits them. Canon fits some. Some prefer Pentax, some Minolta. Big deal.

    The bantering back and forth is just friendly playing among friends.

    But, those with discriminating taste do shoot Nikon...

    Re: Hey Ken1953...

    Well, when the last roll of 35mm film is made, I will buy it and shoot a picture of my CANON gear with it That should be in 4-5 years

    HAHAHA, me and JS are just pulling your leg guys. Can't we all just get along?????????

    So Rob, who wants to buy my nikon gear, I could use the $$ to help buy a 30D(when it's released) , a 17-40L and a 70-200F2.8IS

    Re: Hey Ken1953...

    You know, speed, for a Nikon owner you're pretty smart. ;) ;) That is why I got a Canon; I had an old AE-1 that had finally bit the dust long ago so when I got ready to hit it again, it was a natural thing to go with Canon.

    Hey, JS, I feel your pain. We are just both wayward Canon orphans that no one wants to adopt. ;) ;)

    Gee thanks srobb.

    Hey, I call 'em like I see 'em.

    Besides, it would be a boring world if everyone shot Nikon. And we'd never get anything new if they weren't competing with Canon, Pentax, Minolta, etc. So you see, we Nikon shooters need you Canon guys and gals around.
