Camera companies are not stupid.

No, but typical amateur-photographer consumers, are.

Camera companies are all too willing to provide what those people will buy. Even
better if the camera company can produce something for $10 and sell it for $1000
dollars. As in the case of most DSLRs and all their required accessories. They
could sell any DSLR glass, L-Glass included, for under $100 a shot. But you? Not
knowing a thing, gleefully hand out your dough, just for the social-prestige of
promoting an antiquated technology. And attempting, but failing, to look like a
"Pro".

Ain't this fun.

FINALLY you admit that real pros use DSLRs.

Ain't this fun.

Yes, watching you make an even bigger fool of yourself is always fun.

How you misread any of the above to admit(?) that real professionals all use
DSLRs, is beyond me. It's an observation about those who are so stupid as to
think they need a DSLR to be a "Pro" and throwing away exorbitant amounts of
money in their attempts to do so.

C'mon steve, are you reading usenet through your coke-bottle-bottom glasses
again, and then just hitting the reply button, typing anything, and hoping it
will make sense to someone other than you? No, wait. I've got it figured out.
You are hoping someone will try to explain your ideas to you so they will
finally make sense to you. That's it, isn't it.

Stick your fingers in your ears and hum a tune, then you also don't have to
actually take in any audio information while you sit there imagining what you
want to see.

I'm beginning to understand now why there's so little worthwhile photography in
the world. With people as unperceptive as the "Steves" displaying an interest in
photography how can any of them know when and where to click a shutter-button at
the right time, let alone anything else.
