To: Allan Russell
I was hoping it would not come to this, but I am compelled to speak out. I usually am not rude, but will say what is on my mind. I am tired of listening to your comments Allen (and yes I do have a choice.... if you don't stop your rantings, I will cancel the email notices of discussions). I understand you are a teacher.... Well, there are teachers that are great at doing what they teach, and decide to pass on the knowledge, and then there are those that can only teach, but are too scared to get off the pot and actually do what they teach. I believe you fit the later category. I would not have a problem if everytime you wrote and criticized a camera, you provided additional information about it with comaparisons. At least, I could say I learnt something new. Its always the same thing with you.
You obviously don't place much value on your time. I would guess that you are at least over 30 years of age. If you were on your death bed.... and wanted to live, how much would you pay for an extra week? an extra day? or even an extra hour? If you bought the D70 for the full price, and hated it, you could sell it for a loss of about $250. The amount of time you have wasted complaining about it and remained without decision... is it not worth more than $250? Not to mention wasting our lives reading your dreary comments. As I said, if you brought new information to the table everytime you complained, at least we would have learnd something.
Personally, I have a Nikon F4s which could be used for self defence. Any camera compared to that including half the medium formats would be considered an un-substantiall in weight and may feel like a toy. But does that stop me from moving forward with technology? No. I consider myself an advanced amateur, and therefore realize that I may need several cameras for different tasks, just as we choose several lenses for different tasks. I have a Nikon Coolpix 5700 for everyday familly shooting, a Sony DSC-F828 for its low light focusing ability and an F2.8 at 200mm. I too am in the market for either a D70 or D100. D70 has advanced features not available on D100 and D100 has its own set of merits.
Get off the pot and make a decision... Either try it or move on and stop wasting my life with your winings and your inability to make decisions.
To the rest of the members, I do appologize if I have offended you.
Sincerely,
Paul
