Good grief Tom, you’re very creative with your names when dropping a note here. John Galt, really? Where’s your railroad chick? Why are you playing with cameras when you should be discovering the key to harnessing static electricity. Seriously, you’re commenting on blogs instead of changing our economic and political landscape?

VERY FUNNY VIDEO! By the way, does it count if I was held at knife point to become a Canoneer… Canonite… Canonian… whatever.

Hey Rich – you forgot me! 3 Canons to date, AE-1, 20d and my new Canon 5d Mark II!

Yes. Well. My love affair with Canon started about the same time my love affair with you did (before that and LOOOOONG ago, I was a Minolta shooter…and they made a FINE 35mm film camera…which I actually may have somewhere around Foolsewoode come to think of it) Thank heavens I like Canon so well otherwise there would have been a lot of love lost (both personally and digitally)

(And besides…you KNOW I was totally speechless when you gave me my birthday presents that year and the Canon was among them…and that’s hard to DO to me.)

(cause I’m so wordy)

We won’t talk about what camera I was using to usher myself into the digital age…but much like my computer it was just “…something I’ll use until I can figure out if I like doing this _______ insert photography/blogging in that space)”

Go Team Canon!

(is it totally weird that I’m always trying to put extra “N’s” in their name?)

(and owning a Canon kind of makes me feel like a pirate)

(argh!)

I remember on the first Prescott photowalk the group split into Nikon and Cannon users. Nothing unfriendly, I think it was easier for people who did not know each other to start socializing around their gear.

Well, Rich, actually I was a Canon guy…

35 years ago using a Canon FTb, 35mm, SLR camera, which I dearly loved and which took wonderful pictures, especially when I was on WESTPAC Navy cruises.

I owe you one picture of me wearing that Tilley Hat!

I agree with you Sylvia. And yup, you don’t have to put up with the “Canon/Nikon” debate. Outside the fray.

Still, I dig the video Joey L did!

Have fun shooting!

I shoot with an Olympus, no Canon/Nikon debate to worry about. : )
Seriously, Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax, and Sony all make great cameras that produce great images. At the end of the day, it’s the photographer’s vision and the gear is a tool to create vision.

Recently, with the introduction of the Leica M9, Ken Rockwell has become an ardent Leica guy. His blogs are always interesting and challenging so the case he makes for the Leica full-frame M9 for landscape and other work is worth a read at http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/00-new-today.htm.
