Amazing Nikonians

Nikon users are a very passionate group. They are extremely loyal to the brand. When I visit brand independent photography forums, you can immediately see their fanaticism. They have the Nikon logo in their avatars. They would try to convince you that the Nikon brand is the way to go. They'll immediately pounce on newbies asking for opinion and will almost try to convince them that the Nikon D40, which doesn't even autofocus the nifty fifty lens, is better than a Canon 5D (well at least the Canon 400D).

Look at the two photographs. Which is better or more appealing? The first photograph is taken with a better equipment while the second one was taken using a point and shoot camera. Some things you lack in skill, you compensate with technology. * Shaky hands? there's Image Stabilizer. * Difficulty telling if the subject is in focus? Auto focus and focus assist beam. * Better and faster focus ability. * Better low light ability. * Lesser incidents of red eye. * Lower noise levels. Better equipment is simply better. A point and shoot in the hands of an able photographer will yield better than pro equipment in the hands of an amateur. But if a point and shoot camera and an SLR is used by the same person (or same skill level), the pro equipment will definitely produce instantly better results. In conclusi...
