Funny shot...

Canon or Nikon..?
They are just tools to do a job, they both use the same techniques.
Its all about personal preference, how it feels to use.
Both have good and bad points.

Can we organise a group buy of those shirts? :lol:

It reminds me a bit of this guy, using Nikon straps on his (many) Canon cameras.
So join in the chorus, and sing it one and all!

I once had a Minolta SLR that was completely flat. Something to do with having been run over by a car, IIRC.

Hmm, to see a topic like that on this very forum...

I thought we had all agreed long ago that the weakest part of any camera are the 6 inches behind the viewfinder.
