I'm going offend some people with this, and I apologize, but this is my opinion.

There are two expressions that have been going around for a long time, and I think they are meaningless.

1. "You get what you pay for." Of course you get what you pay for - unless you forget to bring it out of the store when you leave. You select it, you pay for it, and you bring it home. The expression is supposed to suggest that if you pay more, you get a better product. Nonsense! Look for online reviews of anything, and you will see that price does not correlate with quality.

2. "The best camera is the one you have with you." This implies that you shouldn't worry about how good your camera is as long as you have one when you need it. Again, nonsense! In order for you to have it with you, you must first buy it. That involves lots of decisions concerning price, needs, make, and model. I've bought lots of cameras over the years, and I put a lot of thought into each purchase.

That's my rant for the day - well, for the morning, anyway.
