It seems to me that different users have different needs. Yet, why do those who don\'t find everything they need/want/wish for in the 5DII sound so strident and emotional? And the fanboys so absolute and intolerant?
Is this some kind of love/hate story? With a Japanese conglomerate? At least with Apple, I might understand, just, but with a Japanese conglomerate, a corporate animal devoid of any emotion and sensitivity, just like its sibling and competitor Sony and Nikon?
A camera is only that. It should not be expected to cure the ills of the world or stabilize the financial markets. It reminds me of the wonderful text by Nobel recipient Isaac Bashevis Singer, whose words, transposed to photography could inspire some of us.
Why I write for children
by Isaac Bachevis Singer
Children read books not reviews.
Children don\'t read to find their identity.
They don\'t read to free themselves from guilt, to quench their thirst for, or to get rid of alienation.
They have no use for psychology.
They detest sociology.
They don\'t try to understand Kafka or Finnegan\'s Wake.
They still believe in God, the family, agnels, devils, witches, goblins, logic, clariy, punctuation, and other obsolete stuff.
They love interesting stories, not commentary, guides or footnotes.
When a book\'s boring, they yawn openly, without any shame or fear of authority.
They don\'t expect their beloved writer to redeem humanity. Young as they are, they know that it is not in his power. Only the adults have such childish illusions.
