Actually, let me "rewrite" my initial post and eliminate the first
paragraph. I was just upset this morning thinking about the fact that
Can*n has introduced a self cleaning sensor (which is ironic considering
how many felt that it wasn't really needed or didn't work well) and is
now introducing live-view into their newest lineup. Comparing them to
what I personally feel Micros*ft is all about was uncalled for. At the
moment I really don't care what Can*n does or doesn't do though I do
feel strongly that the "better qualities of humankind are brought forth
through cooperation rather than competition." I need to spend less time
"thinking" and more time taking photographs. :)
