And thank you for reminding me why this forum isn't worth another single waking moment of my life.

Nick,
It's always been Canon, Nikon, Canon, Nikon, Canon, Nikon.
Somewhere in between the talk was medium format vs. 35mm.
Now of course there is some mention of Sony and Pentax.
At least sometimes there was an emphasis on the actual photograph.
Now it's just tech. Not the technique it requires to produce something worth producing, but just tech for techs sake, mixed with Brand worship.
I use to think people naively thought there was that one machine that would make them the next Weston, Avedon, Penn . . .
Now it seems that that's not the plan. The plan is that one machine that they can prove is better and win some kind of made up argument on the web.
A contest, but there is no prize.
The bottom line is this:
If you can't produce a compelling image from a 7 year old camera, you'll never be able to produce a compelling image.

P.S. Bernhard. We all know your love of the d800 whatever and have the thousands of mentions to prove it. That's your choice but word to the wise.
If you want attention for your imagery, talk the imagery not the tech. Anybody can buy a camera.
