I was wondering what all those Nikon samurai things were about. It's a clique.

I use an Olympus. So I can start my own clique The Olypmian gods.

Does it make you want to shoot with and Olympus?

Hey, I say go for it! There is already a move afoot to start a group called the Minolta Warriors. Olympus makes great P&S cameras. Bought my wife a Stylus for Mothers Day our first year together. Great little camera. And I looked seriously at getting her an Olympus Digital last year. She decided she didn't want it. If she wants a picture taken, she grabs her Stylus, or has me take it for her.

The whole Nikon Samurai / Clan O'Cannon thing is just good natured ribbing among friends. We all know that it's the person behind the camera that matters. Which light box you use depends on what features you like, or ergonomics, or economics.

So what model Olympus do you shoot with? Inquiring minds want to know! ;-)

I use an Olypus E-10.

My only gripe is that it's cumbersome, the lenses for it suck, but it's a dependable camera.

I accidentally, while trying to rush to the lake to shoot the sunset, left my E-10 on top of my car and drove away, I live in a hill and driving, I noticed my camera was gone. I slammed on the brakes not knowing the camera was on the car roof and thum, thump, thump, my camera slide across my roofbounced on my car hood, hit the concrete. All I could do was watch and it was like slow motion. I got out and thought my camera would be busted, maybe some lens elements cracked, but it still works like a charm. The outer casing is marred, but I've had no problems with it.

Well I've just come back from holiday and I have to say, it's a great logo! I will eventually have it in my signature once i open a photobucket acccount and upload it.

I will then proudly be Nikon Samurai# 16 so don't mess!!!!!

Geez!!! Sounds like a tough camera! :-O

Definitely one to take with you camping, biking, hiking, etc.

This whole Nikon Samurai and Clan O'Canon thing is just fun.
Yeah it identifies us by what camera we have.
But it all just fun thing.
So if there are others that shoot Olympus go for it!

"The Olympian Gods"

I love that name!

[Speed]

Me too -- and, better still -- I qualify to be an Olympian Goddess because I have an Olympus Digital Stylus camera!

From henceforth, I will bask in the glory of being an Olympian Goddess, in fact, Olympian Goddess No. 1

Such an honor....

You Go Girl!!!!

:-D

Actually, Flight is planning on using Greek and Roman names, instead of numbers - numbers are so HUMAN after all. So, should you be Saturn? Helena? Mythology isn't my strong point, but think up a good goddess name for yourself. Use the Olympian Goddess #1 as your subtitle.

;-)

Maybe this will help:

Dearest Speed:

You KNOW I am Aphrodite -- I KNEW it before I ever took the quiz.

Aphrodite is the goddess of love, beauty and sexual rapture. Aphrodite loved and was loved by many gods and mortals. Among her mortal lovers, the most famous was Adonis. Her festival is the Aphrodisiac which was celebrated in various centers of Greece and especially in Athens and Corinth. Her priestesses were not prostitutes but women who represented the goddess and sexual intercourse with them (hmm---girl on girl action ) was considered just one of the methods of worship.

Was there ever any question? ;)

Love ya Speed,
Penny

Great post!
I am not sure what that had to do with this post, but I sure got a kick out of it!

But Adonis wasn't a god

Of course I KNEW that - I just wanted you to say it!

Of course not!

And Gene is Adonis - naturally!
