Quote - Canon used to make great cameras until they started building to a price rather than a spec. For my money there's really only Olympus in the DSLR stakes now. Shame Minolta never made the transition.
LOVE my Olympus E620, in fact.
My "old" SLR was a Minolta 5000i and, to paraphrase my late Dad, it took "right purdy" photos. Nothing could beat it for concert photography. In many ways I still miss using it, but but got tired of dealing with film. Besides, trying to track down high-speed film that was worth a flip became almost impossible. Hence the transition (a year ago, mind you) to digital.
This all makes me wonder if the Kindle vs Nook crowds are bickering. Personally, I love my new Kindle, but my sister wants a Nook. Do I care? No. Did we argue over it at Christmas when I opened my present and found a Kindle inside of it? (my sons chipped in and got me one) No. They're both e-readers that are good at what they do -- just different platforms.
Like Android vs Apple vs Windows tablets/phones, etc. I've actually witnessed heated arguments over which is better. How silly can you get? More importantly, who gives a flying fuck?
