Easy, just like for all UHH member names, simply click their URL name, then view their topics created, then open any / all Photo Gallery contributions or similar image (rather than opinion) sections within the community.
You'd probably know that already if you'd contributed anything yourself.

I don't spend my time on UHH - this is just a resource - sort of. I notice that you resort to mud slinging and have not refuted one point that I made - all of which were objectively true.
In looking at your photos, some are quire nice - you and I have completely different interests in photography and genre and I am not just a hobbyist.
I am definitely not here to argue with you - if you like Canon thats great - so do I. Without all the major brands we all lose - hopefully you can see that as well. Your post about Nikon's doom seemed somewhat brand biased and also was not needed - how does this help anyone - especially when Nikon is not closing any time soon - their sales numbers are still second in the business as of 2019 (mostly DSLR's) but when all those convert to mirrorless they should be fine. It is sensible to cut costs right now - all smart businesses are.
Nikon won't catch Canon in total sales but they don't need to.
Personally, I have used both Canon and Nikon and I prefer Nikon for all the reasons I gave and so many more, but many (including you) prefer Canon and thats great - keeps the world turning that there is choice.
Have a great day!

That comment is parroted so often that by now you should be realizing that it can’t be true.
Yup! But the photographer is human and like to claim credit from a machine that can't protest.

You don’t seem too appreciative of the entertainment value of this venue. It’s pretty good if you let yourself enjoy it.

On the contrary, the camera does not make the photographer. Some of the greatest photographs ever taken were shot with equipment far inferior to what is available today. It is the skill and technique of the photographer that makes the photograph. A skilled photographer can even get a good photograph using a Canon.
When you’re “on the contrary” acoarst everything is true by definition. It’s a magic mirror ride.

Thaz why I quit reading any post at the very mention of Ansel Adams. If you actually learn by doing, pretty soon you discover that hey, you take a good piece of film and aim it a good scene and damned if you don’t get a good picture.
No rocket science, no mumbojumbo.

If Ansel Adams was the photographer worthy of that name, he'd do a better job Straight Out Of Camera like a Real Photographer.

Nikon manufacturing in Thailand is nothing new. They've had a plant there since 1991. Even digital cameras as far back as the D50 (released in 2005) have been manufactured in Thailand.
Why do I want Canon? The ergonomics are terrible. There are buttons of all different shapes plastered helter- skelter all over. It's no better than some industrial tool. Nikon ergonomics are much superior.
Canon sensors have always been about one generation behind other manufacturers. They simply cannot manufacture sensors as well as Sony. Canon should give up and start purchasing sensors from Sony for the best performance.
My second choice behind Nikon is Sony.
I don't want Canon garbage. If you want it, buy as many as you want.

Yes they do, but what they really need is to first, stop the hemorrhaging in market share (they are number 3 behind Sony and losing share, not number 2 as you state) and profitably if they want to survive, and they’re not going to do that in the professional market with the (single card slot) Z7 competing against the R5 or Sony. Here’s hoping that their next generation MILC body addresses these shortcomings, because I for one, hope this storied brand not only survives, but succeeds, because they’ve made fine products, have a a solid history among millions of users, and competition is good for the consumer.
It’s certainly generous of you to describe Paul’s posted images as “quite nice”. Now let’s see some of yours - I’m expecting outstanding work since you’re not “just a hobbyist”, like the rest of us.

The market is saying otherwise to #3 Nikon, but no reason to get facts involved, when opinion is so powerful ...

Stop the B.S. If you want it, buy it. Sony is my second choice after Nikon. I don't want Canon's terrible ergonomics and inferior sensors.

Funny, most of what you say is opinion.
If you are replying to me, then I will say: funny, all of what you say is nonsense---and I base that on quite successful years of experience working in, observing and learning about the topics I referred to.
