Once you get sent to the Chit-Chat penalty box, you'll never reach 15 pages ....

Not a question of incomplete info, but rather of wrong info.

As to resemblances, if the illustration and info had been accurate you would have seen the canon looking nearly identical to the Leica and the Nikon looking nearly identical to the contax. Instead we have yet more typical UHH alternative factoids, authoritatively presented.

Having owned 3 of the 4 cameras, I know whatโ€™s up. I expect the OP is only relating what he thinks he learned superficially surfing the web.


Ahhhhh. you assumed...

They look like cameras to me, as well as probably 90% of the people here.

Geeze, almost everything here is authoritatively presented.
That's why so many people grab it and run. Wrong or right.

For most of us the decision to buy one or the other is economic. We have an inventory of one manufacturers lenses that we can't afford or can't be bothered to replace. There are some idiots in the world that think everyone should own what they own. Maybe to validate their own decision. They probably have an opinion on Fords vs Chevys too.
While Canon and Nikon have been the leaders for a long time there are now many other choices. So if you're looking for a new camera, don't ask here. You'll just get a bunch of BS. Read the reviews. fondle the hardware and make up your mind what's right for you.
Remember I said those Germans, that came to Japan to teach, brought cameras? Look at daddy and his two children by different wives.

Your picture of three cameras means nothing. Until recently most DSLRs looked the same - and SLRs before that. That's where the sameness ended.

That's good information that you posted.

This guy thinks that Canon and Nikon are the only choices.

As a retired professional photographer for over 40 years I can tell you that the camera is a TOOL to be used at work to make a living. It is nothing more.

So, from your statement, anyone not working as a photographer to make a living should pitch their cameras in the trash and never take any photographs. This would include yourself, as you are retired and no longer working to make a living.

That is because you are a professional. For amateur camera is a toy and not a tool and people are more passionate about their toys than their tools.

For a retired professional may be but for amateur the camera is their toy and they value them a whole lot more than a tool.
