Why don't you hear people in music shops asking for an instrument with
more notes?

They will, they will. But right now they're too busy looking for
amps having volume controls that go to eleven! |

True.

Not so sure about that. Canon users are perhaps too boring to be of interest
to the devil.
Purgatory, maybe.

Yeah, right. God forbid anyone should ever buy a camera based on his own
experience and research, instead of "the advice of a salesman or friend."
Of course everyone should buy a camera only from some guy behind a counter
who says, "You wanna filter with that to protect the lens?"

I had a TT250 and a GT380
Both were good bikes.

It was Chevy v Ford when I was a testosterone-pumped adolescent. It was
dumb then and is even dumber now.
It's not the camera; it's the jerk trying to use it.
The forum should foster unbiased information, help for all users, and
sharing of knowledge. Bias stinks. >> Stay informed about: Nikon |

You can tune and tweak many instruments to get as many notes as you want!
And then there is the string section, and trombones....

Just had a talk with a Canon Rep today. He admitted to secretly preferring
Nikon.

That's true, but the more you make the less you can tell the
difference. There's a limit to how many different notes the best human
ear can hear, quite apart from the restricted range of our own
personal ears.

Were that the same was true with eyes! I believe that I have been able to
see quantisation even in 24-bit displays ("16 million colours") if the
colours are carefully chosen to be adjacent (G=50, B=51 etc.) and the
image chosen to maximise quantisation visibility (slow changes across the
display, "circular greyscale"). Hence my comment that "thousands of
colours" would stop me purchasing a camera.
The trouble is that, with using LCD displays (as opposed to CRT) you never
know where you are with colour (it could even be 6-bits per channel, and
goodness knows what calibration), and I also watch some digital TV
(FreeView) and you have no idea how the bit-rate reduction there may have
damaged the original.
Cheers,
David >> Stay informed about: Nikon |

Hello, nospam:
Why? Sigma is quite forgettable, if nothing else.

Hello, Ray:
No, the real question is: Why are >you< being so hostile? I believe it
should be readily apparent that, Neil Harrington's above comments are
laced with sarcasm.
