This post made me laugh and snort. I would agree that one would hope there are more important things in the world then the price of a camera! I have to say I enjoyed the way this was written and the perspective given. Just thought a some positive feedback was warranted :) and a little ps - though it is belated - really enjoyed the classes you taught at PSW as well. Long time reader, first time commenter.

One of the things I appreaciate the most is that you DO tell us about the latest gear on the market and your opinion of the item...so please don't stop! I have come to count on your professional opinion when I consider a new purchase. I have been a Nikon user for over 40 years and it is still the best camera in my book and like others I can't afford the DX3; besides I agree with you, it would take up too much card and computer space. For some photographers it maybe just what they need! We live in a capatalist society so we either buy something or not. No reason for people to get nasty on your personal blog. That is just rude. Moose's comments were wonderful and a great reminder of what is important Keep up your Great Work. Many Thanks. Hi Scott,

I regularly point my customers toward your books, and I always highlight your sense of humor and plain talk. Many of us enjoy that! I'm a Canon user and I'm not complaining about the prices. I will complain that I'd like a D700 now but my lenses don't translate. Any help there? Scott,

Can it help? Sure, but it certainly is not the deciding factor. When we put our talent and faith in things, well - it just doesn't have a pretty ending. BTW, when did we all decide it was our "right" to have the best at bargain basement prices? Just curious - perhaps a sign of our time? Scott – I have to tell ya, you and Moose hit it on the head.
