You see very few second hand Pentax cameras for sale? That is interesting. My first camera was a Pentax and I liked it very much. It was a film camera and over the years digital became the way to go, so I tried a Sony, an Olympus, a Canon, and a Nikon.
I was happy with all of them. Obviously the fine quality of lenses has become much more commonplace than it once was.

The few, the proud, the Nikon users.

In your dreams fella. No comparison. My son was a marine, but not a Nikon user. He scoffs at Nikon conceit, as do all thinking people. Nikon users are like the guys who would by a big flashy Cadillac and drive it around the neighborhood so everybody could see him in his big new car.

This is cute. Canon sells a lot because they have marketed mostly to the casual snapshooter who used to buy a point and shoot, but now can brag that "I have a Canon DSLR" just like the big boys. You can buy a Canon T3i with a lens for under $400. That's less than some P&S cameras. Now you can say "I'm a photographer" instead of "I take pictures."

Nikon users take photographs. Canon users take snapshots. :P :XD: :XD:

R, slow down a little bit will ya!!
By, "big boys", you don't mean guys with big bellies and little cameras do you! :lol:
If so, I see lots of Big Boys with Nikons.
But since I'm sure this is just your attempt at humor, why don't you humor us a little and post one of those masterpieces of yours. Then I'll post one of my snapshots taken with my little toy camera!!
If you show me yours, I'll show you mine!

I've watched a lot of sports and it appears most of the professional photographers I see are using the white lens with red circle.....Canon...

I've noticed the same thing with weddings.
Makes me and my Nikon D7000 feel lonely.

In the classifieds why is it nearly always Canon for sale and seldom Nikon?
The answer is obvious, if you have a Nikon you are not going to get rid of it.
I await the insults.

The Nikons have no resale value LOL saying hello from Pittsburgh.

Have you worked out what side of that particular fence you are on yet, or is that too much of an intellectual stretch for you? :mrgreen:

Well, I for one am a Canon guy that just recently is considering a Nikon. I have a Canon 60D that is seriously thinking about the purchase of the Nikon 7100. As I keep reading reviews that in most articles I've read the quality of the photos are better. Just a beginner so any debate as to another camera suggestion will be helpful!

Joe, that's an easy choice if you don't have a lot of money invested into Canon glass. The person behind the camera is more important than the camera. I must say that I'm a Canon shooter too and have seen very good reports on the 7100 but the 750 might be a better one, more money. Look into it.

Now there is a nicely balanced response, pointing to the key issues about investment in the system and so forth. It is so much more complex than the paper specs about a specific camera, sensor or other considerations.

Don't swallow that BS. They don't take better pictures. Nikon snobbery is imbedded deeply in the photo world.

Whatever snide remark or insult is handy. I don't bother to see what I might have said minutes before. Requires too much thinking.

Don't pay much attention to graybeard. He's got several cheap super telephotos stuffed up his fundament, and it seems to be affecting his social demeanor....

Nikon is starting to recall the 750s

I have no social demeanor, matter of fact I am anti-social. Just consider me a Philistine and an iconoclast. Philistine means uncultured (therefore unimpressed with pretense and snobbery), and iconoclast meaning one who destroys icons, or in my case, pops bubbles of delusions of superiority in Nikon owners and in people from San Francisco who think too much.
