That's fine too as long as YOUR needs are fulfilled.
There are others who need to vindicate themselves by using some figures and numbers which simply cannot be justified by any of their own photos.

Oooh! I bet that elicits an 'opposing' response from someone!

this camera is so horrible. I literally picked one up at a local store the other day, and it was my first experience with a modern canon. I nearly slit my wrists it was so bad.
I then thought about emptying my stomach contents into my eviscerated wrists.
Just bought this camera last friday, and put it through its paces yesterday. I was shooting running dogs, which belong to a very good friend of mine. We decided to go to the forest, but unfortunately it was heavily overcast without any trace of sunshine... but the camera still performed excellently (at least by my standards ).
For the pixel-peepers: I put the shutter speed a bit too low, which gives nice motion blurring of the paws - but you lose a bit of sharpness. I'm not good enough to do both yet, sorry
The autofocus, coming from a Canon 30D, was amazing. So much in focus, seemingly effortlessly by the camera. Really amazing! I had put it on 19pt autofocus, and it was really funny seeing the autofocus points following the subject through the viewfinder
All these shots are with camera setting Tv, Auto-ISO, in-camera NR on Low, shooting JPG and about 20s for each photo in Lightroom.
Click on a picture for a bigger view (1920 for the longest side):
70-200mm f4 IS:
50mm @ f1.8, ISO 3200.
I found that the camera is incredibly easy to pick up and shoot with, performance & ergonomics are perfect - everything's where it should be.

Handguns are illegal in Japan. Cutting, slitting, self-impaling and harakiri is the preferred way to go in Japan when a photog is unhappy with their camera...lol
You cannot "eviscerate" your wrists. Your viscera are your abdominal contents. If your viscera are in your wrists then perhaps your head is somewhere else.
