I often find that when I am out with my 10D, that people automatically
assume that it is a film camera. I had one guy back in the spring look
at me using my 10D, and said, "it's good to see some people are still
using film; this digital stuff everyone's going for today is just a bad
joke".

I've had the same thing happen a couple of times, the look of shock on
their faces when I tell them it IS digital is priceless.

I am often at popular tourist spots in NYC, and people see me with my
10D and ask me to take a picture of them. My running joke is to lift my
camera and take a picture of them, knowing full well that they meant
with *their* camera. A couple of weeks ago, as a woman handed me her
camera, she said, "sorry, but it's a digital". I then pressed the
review button on mine and showed her the LCD, and she said, "I didn't
see that big camera in Office Max!".
