Olympus Point and Shoot out performs DSLRs

It comes from childish mine-is-better bragging by DSLR advocates who feel the need to feed their egos by putting down non-DSLRs and those who use them at every opportunity, like wearing a (fake) Rolex to be more cool.

My own take is that the majority of the bashing and bragging is by DSLR advocates, not so much entire threads as incessant response putdowns of non-DSLRs.

It's only _one_ person that believes it (and even he doesn't really believe it). By responding, instead of kill-filing, people are encouraging him to keep trolling. Well put, Mr Pot.

Nice grammar, too. http://www.douglasjames.com.au/more-panasonic.htm No such site. But as usual, you are right, Doug (and John N). Everyone else is just imagining it. 2 and only 2 people had DNS problems. Everyone else did not. Some folks like to keep their head in their sand. They just don't want to get it. Carry on ignoring reality, Doug. That only makes you look foolish. -- Best regards, John Navas Panasonic DMC-FZ8 (and several others) |

But I think they may have faltered after the C5050 and C8080, which remains one of my favorite cameras ever. The new 550 (?) has fallen into the same trap that every manufacturer seems to have - they just want to add pixels and let the noise increase... And they pushed the lens a little too far. In the current range, all the FE and mju series are made by Sanyo, not Olympus. Not 100% sure on the SP550/560, but have my suspicions on them as well. Funny how the Olympus, Pentax, Nikon and Kodak cameras share the same battery, have many other similarities (such as button position), and all release cameras with basically the same specifications at the same time. Not terribly surprising -- most laptop/notebook brands are made in a very few large factories by contract manufacturers, but that doesn't mean they don't have significant differences. -- Best regards, John Navas Panasonic DMC-FZ8 (and several others) |

Sigh - It was 3 (spelled THREE) people, actually - I didn't post *every* link, because I thought you might learn a lesson and actually check. Like I said, you didn't do ANY homework. Hint - look up "SMS" for the third person. And given you also haven't noticed the repeated postings and sockpuppeting by the anti-DSLR troll... well... I like your comments in the next seven postings (??? - note this is my *only* response) about personal attacks, after your 'foolish' and 'childish' remarks. You don't spot the irony? Good to see you solely occupy the high ground. (O: I also note how you have left Doug's insults uncommented. G'nite. |

The traffic these threads have generated is 20 times greater than any other topic. They're public service listings! People being walked on by DSLRdiots need this to air their views. They do after all make up the majority of camera owners and without the (considerable) profit from their purchases, DSLRdiots would still be trying fo find a digital back for their cameras.
