WOW!! The image quality is breathtaking! It feels like I can just
reach out and pat Buster & Divs.

Holy crap, I see nothing there that is very special.

I do. I'm sorry my poor explanation doesn't do it justice, but I see
a better quality in detail. Similar to when you compare a print from
a 35mm camera to a print from a medium format camera.

Sorry, my bad, I did not understand that you are a MF expert. You got to be
kidding...............

I have to give credit to this newsgroup, because over the years I did
learn a lot about digital photography and some film photography. But
what I can never understand is why people choose to be so cruel.

So, is Bret sending the 40D to you ...?

Not cruel at all just not seeing what you are seeing I guess. Certainley the
two small shots are ordinary at best and the big one of the cat is soft and
downright scratchy around the edges. I am sure the camera can do very well,
these are simply not particularly good examples and do not deserve the
superlatives that you gush forward with.

"..these are simply not particularly good examples and do not deserve

Larry "Rita" Thong seems to think so:

"WOW! Simply breathtaking! The hound looks so good. I'm not sure
about the
Divs, though. I can't wait to see the video. Also, let us see some
Spike
shots as he's ready to pose for the new cam."

C'mon Helen! Quoting "Rita"/"Larry" on anything.... really....He's
setting you guys up.

Yeah I know, which is why I thought Pete should take it up with
"Rita", because he seems to relish in online arguments and he does it
so well. I don't come here to argue and I've grown very tired of it.
As I said before I wish I never posted in the first place.

So why don't you take a clue and STOP POSTING
altogether? Everyone could do with less noise
from the likes of you.

Whatever happened to freedom of speech?

Everything needs balance. It would be unfortunate if the positive posters
disappeared due to excessive negativism...

Keep on posting, Helen...

Nothing. Noise generation on the other hand is bothersome.

It would be even more fortunate if some
posters developed a clue and started posting
that makes sense, instead of the usual inane drivel.


Keep on posting, Helen...



You call what she does "posting"?
It figures...

I'm sure that's what all the dictators say, just before they shut down the
independant newspapers...

One poster's inane drivel is another's compliment. You do understand that
it isn't a human rights abuse to offer up a compliment, don't you?

Helen's cheery messages afford a perfect counterweight to your downright
drudgery...

Take Care,

And I'm sure I don't give a flying pluck about
"freedom of speech" in the case of a known Usenet troll.
I reserve that sort of "freedoms indignation" for cases that
deserve real attention.

Of course, you can waste time and effort with Usenet trolls
yourself. I'm sure that's exactly the sort of attitude that
has allowed that moron Bush to go on for so long.
Hint: anywhere else, it's called apathy and lack of
concentration.

Of course I do. It doesn't make it any less moronic
in Helen's case. Which is rather the point.

Hey, we "counterweight" each other. See? There's
your "perfect balance".

At least we do something. You do nothing but post off
topic and show no photos anywhere. Good boy, now:
back to bed.
