Pro photographer Gordon Lewis has posted an article titled “What Your Choice of Camera Says About You” on his Shutterfinger blog. I’m usually try to steer clear of stereotypes and cheap jokes but… wait, who am I kidding? This stuff is hilarious.
Lewis has a short paragraph about most common brands. Nikon and Canon owners are exactly the same as each other, and Sony users who believe that Sony makes good cameras “also believe in astrology, UFOs and the Easter Bunny.”
It gets better: Lewis knock Pentax owners for buying expensive bodies to use old yard-sale lenses on the front, says that owning a Leica “relieves the pressure of demonstrating actual photographic prowess,” and points out that Olympus owners buy “North Korean beer, Peruvian underwear, and French cars, not because you actually like them but because no one else does.” Ouch!
Head over, and also enjoy the currently good-humored comments. If you have any other brand-baiting insults, say for Micro-Four-Thirds buffs or even those weirdos who buy Samsung and Casio cameras, leave them in the comments below. Funniest wins a hearty Gadget Lab pat on the back.
