Why, that proves it! Canon really is the bees' knees! After all, a flak in Canon's PR department couldn't possibly have an agenda when writing that wonderful description, right? Nah...

I mean, Canon invented the concept of 35MM film shooting - oops, that was Oskar Barnac. Oh,wait, Canon invented the concept of the SLR! Oops, that was some guy in Russia, and then Exacta and others just copied him. And Canon's rugged reliability was legendary - the Nat Geo photographer who snuck his camera into Saudi Arabia (I believe) was, as the story goes, using Canon gear. No, that was Nikon.

Canon makes some fine gear, to be sure. But Canon's marketing department works overtime to generate buzz, and gives cameras to the sideline pros in order to get those white telephoto lenses into the eys of the unwashed masses to convince them that, well Canon is just better than everyone else. So tooting the horn of "they have great PR!" does little to actually help users become better at the craft of photography. But I guess it makes some folks just feel better about themselves for owning the "best". I only hope those folks also own Ford vehickels, since by the same logic those are also the best and obviously make their drivers superior.
