N.Y. Times claims it's all over for Canon and Nikon!

The Times today had a full page add claiming, "If you want clear pictures
you don't want a Canon or Nikon." They also claim that only 20% of Canon
and Nikon lenses have IS/VR. They also claim that the Sony A100 is the
only
camera to give clear sharp images with all their lenses since it has IS/VR
in the body. After seeing this add it put the fear of god into me thinking
that it's time to start dumping all my Nikon and Canon crap and buy a Sony
A100. I know the A100 isn't really going to give Canon or Nikon any
competition, but it was funny seeing this full page add.

The New York Times made no such claim.

A New York Times advertiser ran an ad, an entirely different kettle of
piscatory success.

I took the title to be somewhat of a parody on the typical Rich posts.

Hhmm. Oh, did you ever get past those WB issues you were struggling
with this morning?

No I am afraid not. Those WB issues seem to be beyond my meagre
capabilities. Could you please assist, I mean with all you skill with
jpeg point and shoot and disdain for those who use DSLRs and shoot raw,
you *must* be a formidable expert.

I notice that all the regulars on the photo related newsgroups tremble
in fear when you arrive. (Or is that shake with suppressed laughter ???
I always confuse the two.)

BTW Rita, as you seem to possess the power to read my mind and answer
questions that I didn't pose, could you tell me where I left my car
keys? Can't find the damned things. Surely that wouldn't pose a problem
as you seem sure that you know things about me that I don't know myself.


Thank Rita

Maybe you need one of those gadgets that you can attach to your keys
that you whistle at it, and it whistles back... Of course I always
wondered how one knows where to start whistling....
