Nikon Samurai??? Where's the clan for Canon?

[Ryguyinlj]

hmmm.... It seems like there may be some takers. If people keep expressing intrest I'll create a poll to pick the name.

So far I've got

Canon Clan
Clan de Canon
Canon Zealot
Canon Cult

Anyone have any other ideas?

"Commander Canon and His Lost Planet Cameramen"
Just a little suggestion. I like Janie's suggestion, Clannon O'Canon. We could all have the same last name (O'Canon), but different first names. Though I still like my suggestion Janie .

Or we could really get medievel on those Nikon guys , and be the Chevalier de Canon (Knights of Canon). The mind just goes wild with possibilities. Let us know when/if you put up a poll. Good luck with this!

P.S. We must be on to something. Rick has had the gall to post the same cheeky statement twice. We must have hit a nerve.

The camera system is just a tool to allow the photographer to express her/his feeling and view of the world through still images. In that respect, Canon, Nikon, Leica, etc., ... who cares? The technology embedded in these equipments is so top notch that, at the end, you would be hard-pressed to find any definitive advantage in any of these systems.

HOWEVER:

If you own a Nikon system, you obviously have very good taste, and therefore, should be a skilled photographer worthy of our undivided attention.

... ...

Just kidding! ... (well, kinda of)....

I must admit that my heart is beating faster each time a Nikon Samurai post a thread!

I think that friendly banter is fine as long as it says just that: friendly. I am a Nikon user because my first camera was a Nikon and I didn't want to buy a new set of lenses. I do not own anything else than Nikon, because I had only very positive experiences using their equipment. I guess this is the case for most of us (i.e., Nikon users). As time passes, we start to be emotionally attached to our camera. It IS a beautiful object after all.

I am totally in favor for the Canon users to have their own Chapter/Secret Society/Nickname (you name it!). If anything, it will spice up a bit the forum and bring people together.

I am, however, totally against having specific camera systems forums. It will just divide us.

Just my own little opinion!

Cheers,

Steph.

Hey! Who invited the Nikon people?

It figures the Nikon folks would come here telling us that "equipment doesn't matter" and "they're just tools" and all that other nonsense that they tell themselves to make them feel better. It's not our fault you got stuck with Nikon junk. Don't hate the player, hate the game! If the heats too hot, get out of the kitchen! Boo-yaaa! In yo face chump!

If Nikon users are Samurais, then they are superior warriors who use a very specific set of ethics and a strong sense of duty in their battle. An army of them would be a terrible force, indeed.
But...
Canon users are NINJAS-- sleek, black-clad cat-like assassins who can move in and out with a whisper, kill with a mere touch, disappear into thin air without a trace, keepers of secret knowledge only attained through years of relentless training. We are the silent killers who move in and out before you even knew we were there. We can be invisble, soundless, perfect, ghostlike and so incredibly lethal that the mere mention of our name sends fear into the hearts of all other warriors. They concede defeat to us before we even unsheath our weapons. We are unstoppable.
Or at least that's what the owner's manual for my Canon said...

I also believe that the Manual said that you are on Crack

Well if we are all going to have our own respective clans, then we have to start a Leica one too. I know Tuna uses a IIIf or something. Who else?

That was truly a quote for the ages. bravo *applause*

Canon Ninjas, eh? It goes perfectly with the oriental/mideival/martial arts/slap in your face cool theme that the nikon users have set forth. I like it. I like it a lot. I shall add it to the list.

Canon Clan
Clan de Canon
Canon Zealot
Canon Cult
Canon Ninja

In fact, I think I like it the most so far.
